In one sense, it’s difficult to separate “Common People” from its moment of release, so emblematic as it was of an era when the Britpop tide was sweeping up any UK outfit with a skinny, stylish frontman– including a band of art-pop outsiders who’d been kicking about Sheffield to minimal acclaim since 1983.

And the legend of the song’s riotous reception at the 1995 Glastonbury Festival– unveiled, in a symbolic passing of the torch, during a last-minute pinch-hit performance for the floundering The Stone Roses– is one of the decade’s great underdog-victory tales, the crowning moment of an overnight-success story 12 years in the making.
