"After he first quit his &amp;#039;90s boyband Take That, Robbie Williams famously partied with Oasis at Glastonbury. But he and the Gallaghers fell out after Noel&amp;#039;s quip about Williams being the &amp;quot;fat dancer from Take That&amp;quot;, and the Robster has less than fond memories of the whole Britpop era, it seems.   &amp;quot;Any quarter-decent three-chord d**kheads could and did get a deal in the 90s,&amp;quot; he recently claimed on his blog. &amp;quot;I won&amp;#039;t name names cos it would be unfair on Echobelly, Shed Seven, Symposium, Menswear, Sleeper, Hurricane Number 1, Ride, The Bluetones (apart from that one song), Ocean Colour Scene (apart from that one song... hang on, nah, not even that song), Northern Uproar, Chapterhouse, Curve, Salad, Adorable, Cud, Spacehog, Kula Shaker, The Audience, Powder, Kingmaker, Geneva (sub-Suede - can you imagine?). Should I go on? Cos I can and they sure did.&amp;quot; He concluded: &amp;quot;More hearts will genuinely race at a new 1D album than they ever have or will at any Suede album in any time period. Sorry about the truth.&amp;quot; Ooof! Stop sitting on the fence and tell us how you feel, Rob! Williams later did backtrack a bit, admitting that he had &amp;quot;gone off on a tangent not entirely created by Mr Brett Anderson of pop combo Suede&amp;quot; and praising their new record Bloodsports. Anyway - leaving aside some shaky chronology (the likes of Ride and Chapterhouse were definitely pre-Britpop shoegazers, for a start), we thought we&amp;#039;d put up the Case For The Britpop Defence, with a track from each of the bands besmirched by Robbie*. Have a listen below and let us know what you think.  * Sadly not all of the insulted acts are on Spotify, but you can fill in the gaps with Symposium&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Fairweather Friend&amp;#039;, Northern Uproar&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;From A Window&amp;#039;, Adorable&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Sunshine Smile&amp;#039; and Powder&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Afrodisiac&amp;#039; via YouTube.
