Blur

Surprisingly, my brother got me into Blur. I had heard of them before, but I never knew Damon Albarn also started the Gorillaz. That's when I really gave them a listen.

I still like me some Coffee & TV every now and then. :D
 
Just read through this whole thread, some interesting opinions to say the least!

Blur are one of my favourite banRAB - alongside Suede most probably. I've got to say on the topic of Oasis vs Blur; that Oasis are shockingly over hyped and pretty much rode the fame that was created with the Blur rivalry- something Albarn was never really interested in and tried his hardest to abstain from any association with the Britpop thing (which was basically the NME trying to create new era in British music post 80's).

Also just to gloat, I was at the Glasto headline gig! Which may I add was probably in the top 3 moments of my life.

Finally, in case anyone didn't know Blur realeased a new song earlier this year called Fools Day - not seen it posted in here. Quite a nice song with some lovely work on guitar by Coxon, reminiscent of early Blur work and certainly a promising sign that they still 'have it' for any potential future albums! Youtube it because I can't post links yet!
 
Wit! Its the only album of theirs I like. I can understand why you wouldnt like it though, if your into all the Girls who like boys who like girls who like boys who like girls who like boys who like girls who like boys who like girls who like boys who like girls who like boys who like girls who like boys....... and so on..



You have sinned Boo Boo :(, that song totally kicks ass.
 
Just the past 2 years I have been able to expand my listening with Blur and just love it all! And I also like all of Dave's stuff outside of the band, haha. But Graham Coxon is a most excellent solo artist too. There just really good. All there albums are very good but Leisure and The Great Escape are just amazing. Also there new stuff that recently came out is good too.
