By the time The Boo Radleys were signed to Creation Records alongside shoegaze darlings like Slowdive and Ride, they'd gotten over the genre. 1993's acclaimed Giant Steps propelled them past it by incorporating psych pop and dub. The band took a similar approach when Britpop arrived, and ended up making one of the movement's biggest hits in 1995's Wake Up!. Though The Boo Radleys only released two more LPs before disbanding in 1999, their unwillingness to fit in yielded a very rewarding Britpop catalog that challenged the status quo at every turn.
