What was the last intimate object you lost your temper at?

- an apron I couldn’t tie

This compilation from XFM in 2002 merged my love of rock & dance.

After the fall of Britpop, these Indie compilations arrived. It included Vol. 2, 3 and Classics editions.

Music channel The Box got in on the action, but much like Fresh/Big hits range, the CDs were slightly ahead of itself; Hits from late 1997 on a compilation labelled '98' - sneaky.

"Shine" was a range of Britpop/Indie compilations which started back in 95ish and peaked here in 1997, they managed to get up to Shine 10. Eels & Rialto were on heavy rotation for me.

While NOW conquered the Pop-Comp scene, these Big Hits/FreshHits/NewHit etc. CDs came close 2nd as they had stuff not featured on NOW. This was my first purchase.

Many years ago, I collected singles and compilations CD, the NOW series dominated the collection but there were others which I remember fondly. This Anthem CD from 1998 was used heavily...
