Hate to be pedantic but SR are Madchester, not Britpop.The Stone Roses
The Bluetones
I listened to their EP about a million times on trips to London or Manchester on national express, every song just seemed great. Never got into their album as much but hammered that and picked it up recently for record store daySymposium

Surely Oasis are the epitome of madchester!
Madchester wasn't quite finished as I was at Manchester Poly at the time.Oasis formed in 1991, I would suggest that Madchester was finished by the end of 1990.
No, to all 3.Would New Order and The Smiths count as brit pop?
Spice Girls were ok as well.
I'd say that list is definitive. The Charlatans arguably straddled both Madchester/Britpop. 'Tellin' Stories' was definitely a Britpop album.List of Britpop musicians - Wikipedia

If anyone needs a pick list
"While definitions may vary, artists labelled as Britpop were typically guitar-based bands that emerged from the British music scene, were popular in the 1990s, and focused more on melody than other contemporary genres such as grunge"
I guess everyone's definitions will vary, at the time most those bands got called indie music and was played in the indie room at blaises etc
Oasis formed in 1991 but Britpop (and Oasis) didn't get going until about 1994. I'd say Madchester ended in 1992ish, when the Mondays were messing about with their final (fairly rubbish) album, and no one knew what was going on with the Stone Roses.Oasis formed in 1991, I would suggest that Madchester was finished by the end of 1990.
