Now, so arguably the second biggest band to be associated with Britpop, Blur. Early on I thought they were great. Certainly, 'Modern Life Is Rubbish' and 'Parklife' were great listens but I tired of them quite quickly. There were some good songs after those albums for sure, 'Song 2' is a classic, but other singles whilst OK did not live up to my expectations. 'Charmless Man' for example tried to borrow something from the Ray Davies penned 'A Well Respected Man' but not as well, whilst 'Country House', the song that went head to head with Oasis's 'Roll With It' in a race to be top of the pops had the feel of a novelty song to me.
Whatever my thoughts about Blur, I have to admire the diversity of projects that Damon has got involved with over the intervening years, Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad & The Queen etc.
Anyway, here they are at their peak in my eyes, from a time when everyone was thinking about their 'Pork Life'.
