Blur

Reading this thread, it's strange to see so much Think Tank hate going on. I think it's a blinding little album. I couldn't care less if it does or doesn't include Coxon or if it is or isn't an Albarn ego trip, it still sounRAB good to me.
 
lol. I should iterate that the B-sides are only 'really ****ing good' if you like Blur. And Wire.

Also listening to 'It Could Be You' now I'd forgotten how annoying the mockney accents could be...
 
Remeraber buying this when it was first released as a 2 CD set, one jewel case and one in a digipac cardboard case, looking on ebay its going for
 
I couldn't agree more. Whilst Think Tank is essentially an Albarn solo album with a couple of the boys from Blur lending a hand, I do not see why that should detract from what I believe is a fantastic album. It's the album that I return to the most out of their back catalogue.
 
I grew up with Blur, and along with a variety of others they're partly responsible for shaping my taste in music today. So, yeah, I do love them (particularly Modern Life..., Parklife, the Great Escape and 13). That said I've been cutting down on them a bit in recent months, but I'm sure I'll get back to thinking they're the dogs bollocks in future.
 
God, it's so annoying when they don't include singles and b-sides on the albums, especially in the 60s. Why do they bother with the single format at all?
 
Have you heard the extended version, the trumpet and guitar solo really add to the song I think. Anybody else have the 4 disc version of 13? It's really sweet.
 
It took me awhile to get into that one but it's great, among the best on their self titled.

I saw some videos of their Glastonbury performance late last night and I have to say it was really amazing probably the best Ive ever seen from Glastonbury headliner.
This is the only video that hasnt been taken down yet.

:laughing: Aww he's not that porky more old then anything, but I would of love to have seen them around 93, 94 thats when I think they were the most energetic live. As seen on the documentry Starshaped. Around that time they werent too pop or too 'baggy' just right for me.
