February 1, 200916 yr Liked Blur Song 2, Charmless Man, Country House, Girls and Boys etc Always favoured them in the big Blur v Oasis rivalry although liked some of the early Oasis stuff
February 1, 200916 yr Author Some Other Key Songs: ATWnH-yb6-o Girls and Boys (1994 UK#5 USA#59) YSuHrTfcikU Parklife (1994 UK#10) Papa_qi7evU The Universal (1995 UK#5) kWUil383us4 Coffee & TV (1999 UK#11) Are any of you looking forward to their reformation this year, or do you think Damon should have left the band in the past?
February 2, 200916 yr perhaps its a generation thing, but i never really liked blur as much as i should have. strange, i liked oasis, but blur didnt quite do it for me on a personal level. i like gorillaz and 'feel good inc' is one of my fav tracks from this decade. but they did help bring 'britpop' and indie back into fashion, the sounds that are traditionally british pop music, to a new generation... so ill not knock them!
February 4, 200916 yr I liked Blur, one of the few bands from the 90's I would listen too. The videos you listed are all my favourites. Always preferred them to Oasis.
February 6, 200916 yr Comparing Blur with Oasis is almost like comparing Roxy Music and Slade in the early 70s. Oasis produced singalong anthems (fantastic ones though) while Blur always seemed to have more nous about them. And they did kick off Britpop with the rather ace Popscene. (Virtually ignored at the time though)
