1. Oasis: "When I was young I thought I had my own key"

Answer: "Fade Away"

The main songwriter in Oasis is Noel Gallagher. His brother Liam does the singing. The brothers worship the Beatles; therefore it is not surprising that Liam called his son Lennon.

2. Blur: "The suburbs they are sleeping"

3. James: "So frightened that he won't love her"

Answer: "She's A Star"

All these songs feature on James' greatest hits album. "Sit Down" is by far the most well known song by James. The lead singer of the band is Tim Booth, who was part of the duo Booth and the Bad Angel.

4. The Charlatans: "Feeling good, feeling high, it's a rush"

Answer: "Just Lookin'"

The Charlatans were one of the earlier members of the "Britpop" movement. It was bands like them and the Stoneroses who paved the way for bands like Oasis and Blur.
