Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Great band. Love Blur, 13 and Think Tank. But I adore Modern Life Is Rubbish. Title track aside, Parklife is stunning. The Great Escape and the debut, Leisure, have their moments. Sing from Leisure is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I love the first Gorillaz album. The remix album too. Thought the second one sucked besides three songs and they all ended up being singles. I don't know much Blur other than that whoo hoo song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyrob Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) They were big in the mid-late '90s. I had an album but never listened to it. One track they always played at Manchester Storm Ice-hockey home matches, but can't remember what it was called. Quite heavy in parts.." something song" or something - edit "Song 2" Oasis always overshadowed them and of course are much better.

FredEJ Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have seen some great shows in my life, Blur being no exception. I enjoy most of their schtuff. I was sort of mupset when they swapped to indie [self titled] as I really dug the droopy pop-ness of it all, but 13 is really hip and drifty, BTW - Who likes Rory G these days??? , I was laughing pretty hard. I still have the Top Priority vinyl in my collection, man that old dam strat! peace FREDEJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Death Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I like Song 2... AKA the "whoo hoo" song Never heard anything else, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a film about that era of British Music not too long ago...lots of good music came out of that time in England...post-Thatcher, anti-American hegenomy-neo-English nationalism... What's the Story Morning Glory is a great album....totally defines the time in which it was released....although I must say I do like Pulp's Common People and Blur's Song 2.

Oh yes. But they have only been influenced by the Beatles, just like most bands are influenced by other bands. They will never WANT to be them. I only said that they are better than Blur, which is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it You really have to be a Mancunian to understand them best. I used to walk past their house every day going to school, when they were still in their nappies. Edited July 31, 2007 by rickyrob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
