As in Chappel and Wakes Colne? Didn’t know this

I had the misfortune of seeing Blur’s Nardwuar interview before I knew too many of their tunes and let’s just say I doubt the cheese farmer one is the only tory. It didn’t exactly endear me to hear them out

I did once buy Modern Life is Rubbish after a friend kept yarping on about them and I found it really unenjoyable and it’s no longer in my CD collection or iTunes

Not going to vote based on this largely uninformed critique of Blur but, protect Nardwuar at all costs

Song 2 is a whopper though, it was on the soundtrack to the Fifa World Cup 98 video game if i remember correctly which is a major nostalgia hit

Few decent songs, doubt I’ve ever put Blur on though.

Think I saw them at Leeds fest once and they were ok

2/5

I have to say though, his cheese is absolutely delicious :flushed:

On Graham Coxon’s wikipedia, Noel Gallagher is quoted as saying he is “one of the most talented guitarists of his generation.” 5

I Wish is one of my all time favourite tracks from Blur or their off shoots but overall his stuff isn’t really in their league.

Happiness In Magazines and Love Travels At Illegal Speeds are tremendous fun.

Saw them 3 times post-reunion. Each one a complete riot :blush:

Presume we’re not counting members’ other musical endeavours in out scores here? Albarn may be a bit full of himself but when you’re responsible for Blur, Gorillaz and the first The Good, The Bad, and the Queen album I understand why. All phenomenal,

Gorillaz will be having their own thread.

I’m a fan of blur and a lot of albarns work out the band. Also love coxon solo stuff. But I’ve never properly loved a blur album, so for that I’ve gone 4.

In related news, he’s one of my favourite guitarists and Blur and 13 are two of my favourite albums from the 90s and i like Parklife a lot too and lots of the songs from the albums either side of it too.

It is. Alex James’ autobiography, however, is the literary equivalent of a man slowly masturbating in front of a mirror, while behind him a screen plays moments from his own life.

One of the first bands that I properly got into along with the Prodigy. Have always been more into the post-Britpop albums though like Blur and 13. Quite liked the Magic Whip as well. Go Out is genuinely up there with some of their best work (least said about There Are Too Many of Us, the better).

Once saw Dave Rowntree mooching round London. He looked a bit miserable
4/5
