If by Britpop, you mean British rock music from the 90s, and not from other decades, I would recommend the following:
Blur - recommended LPs: 13, Blur, The Great Escape, Parklife, Modern Life Is Rubbish. all of those are brilliant records, the first album Liesure is a bit on the weak side.
songs to go for: This Is A Low, End of a Century, Girls and Boys, Jubilee, Parklife, On Your Own, Beetlebum, Movin' On, Country Sad Ballad Man, All Your Life, Country House, Stereotypes, Best Days, The Universal, Tender, Battle, No Distance Left To Run, Popscene, For Tomorrow, Blue Jeans, Advert, Colin Zeal, Coping, Ultranol, Repetition...and that's just for starters, off the top of my head. I think that Blur is one of the finest artists of any genre from the 1990s.
Pulp recommended LPs: Different Class, This Is Hardcore (to a much lesser extent: His N Hers, We Love Life)

For starters anyway...I'll do more later maybe.
I have always disliked Suede, Manic Street Preachers, Menswe@r, Cast, The Charlatans, not to mention Ash and Muse... I would advise against them. I;ve never really been able to get into The Divine Comedy or Supergrass either...

Then try Six, which is highly self-indulgent on their part but takes rock music to places it's never been before.
