BRITPOP WEEK: Step on by HAPPY MONDAYS [1990]

by Happy Mondays [official myspace iTunes]

The Happy Mondays (and the album Pills n Thrills in particular) will always remind me of the days in Junior High when I really started getting into music.  I'm fairly certain I bought this on cassette in 8th grade and I would listen to it in my sister's Hyundai Excel.  Yes, not even the Excel's LoFi sound system could put a damper on the danceable BritPop tunes of Shaun Ryder and his Happy Mondays.
