Blur

But I like 'unfocused' lol. Anyway I dont expect yous to like it being 'proper' Blur fans and all. Basically the reason I liked it so much was because it sounded nothing like the Blur everyone knows, which i didnt like at all. I also have no idea what the fuck Im doing in this thread as I dont even like Blur apart from one album..

jeez! I'm just listening to the Live in Hyde park gig. Damon voice is awful!

[Chloe K]

Parklife for sure

[Viash V]

Greatest Hits.

That's what I did.

I have a Blur bootleg from Boston 1996 if anyone is interested.

I don't know if I like Blur or not.

I think they're very overrated.

I know the old debate Noel vs Damon, but lyrics like "boys who like girls who like boys who who like girls" are erabarrassing. People say Damon is one of the best song writers around. I can't see why.

Don't get me wrong, I like a few of their stuff they've done. Song 2, No Distance Left To Run, Tender.

i heartily agree, unfortunately those days are long gone... I do appreciate how Blur (unlike 'the other band') evolved and broadened their sound, but 92-94 was their ideological/songwriting peak.
Their future as a recording group is only going to be conjecture at this point but I'm not getting my hopes up... the more I think about it there is a degree of truth to what that bloke from Suede said, a band is characterised by their heyday/creative peak... it's like the Smiths reforming, nobody wants that do they? But then again with Blur it's been more of an indefinite vacation rather than a proper break-up

Something seems to be going on with blur. The blur official website has gone and been replaced to a link to EMI and Graham Coxon website's forums are inaccesable and been replaced by a link to the same EMI page as the blur website! Either some hacking job or maybe they're preparing some news. A proper reunion is a bit unlikely as Damon is still touring with Gorillaz.

I also happen to think Country House is one of Blur's strongest tunes, it pretty much is the perfect pop song.

As for the rest of their back catalogue... as i've grown up and my taste has evolved i've kind of moved away from Britpop, i do tend to think blur are overrated these days. I much prefer their later stuff too. I think people have a soft spot for them because they are such a quintessentially english band.
