best Blur album ?
 

my vote goes to think tank.

ok disqualified myself

Difficult, except to say that it's definitely not the Great Escape and probably not Leisure.

but if you have to choose one ?

i know 2blur" thats the one with song 2 on it, isnt it? thats pretty good as far as I can remember

it's Blur - Blur, and yeah it's pretty good. same as 13.

Defiently Parklife, a perfect pop record.

All of their albums have some good tracks.

But they all have lots of bad tracks.

Is there a "best of"? I'd go with that if there is.

There is:

 

Where is it on the list?

Yeah, they have a collection of their singles i think.

Edit: Yep that!^^

i really love '13', that gets my vote. people are always shocked when they find out im a blur fan, im like, "why, theyre great?". coxon has such a great guitar tone.

"so gimme coffee and tv"

yes I always liked coxons style, why did he left the band?

he got kicked out i think, not sure why.

really? I thought he was one of the founding members

Yeah he probably was, but I do remember reading somewhere it was a group decision to kick him out. Maybe they just didnt need his guitar sound for the last record.

cuz we are talking here about the albums, the best of is you know :p

The self titled is probably the one I hate least.

I hate to be obvious, but BLUR is the shiz. 13 and MODERN LIFE are close ties for 2nd place, but the s/t is so solid.

he played on the last track 'Battery In Your Leg' on Think Tank.

as far as I know there were quarrel's between Damon & Graham.

and yeah Graham was the second guy after Damon, who had most influence about Blur sound.

ploesj: where are you? hope you like Blur music!

13, def.

Somhow i really dislike BLUR as a band but i DO like Coxon's style BUT i don't like his solo LPs either.
shit.
good band but not for me, too British!!!!

Racist.

I find the 'too British' thing amusing, because of the many very popular British bands of the last mmph years, Blur did the best job of stealing ideas from yanks. Still, one man's meat is another man's racism, y'racist.

ha ha
i dunno
i have a problem with British bands altogether, but D.Albarn has this British accent that i find kinda posh nouveau riche that i particularly dislike.
It's totally decent music nonetheless.

don't even get me started on Oasis or huh THE ROLLING STONES.
I dislike most British bands for reasons unknown, however i have many a British friends that i absolutely LOVE.
not racist, if British is ever a ...race.
i just think most of yr musical output is shit.
jokes alike the argument of the British stealing from the Yanks is 100% valid.
Same for French bands singing in English to American indie-rock ideas.
he.

Next thing you'll be saying:Racist.

ha ha

actually.......

we stole plenty of ideas from americans, and then they started stealing them from us! and FYI, Damon Albarn's accent is more like a middle class person trying to sound like a working class person.

anyway, i'm not sure i've ever listened to a blur album all the way through, but i reckon their first album must be the best because it has their only good song on it.

parklife

Another Blure thread? Blur are one of those bands on this board that people either really seem to dig or really hate with a passion for some reason. I think they are pretty good for a poppy rock band, and I think "Modern Life Is Rubbish" is probobly them at their best, but I don't understand if the hate for "Think Tank" is all people's hate for Damon or what, I still think the album is good over all.

If there ever was a British band playing American music then it's The Rolling Stones... oh, and Bush.

That Blur song on the Trainspotting soundtrack is alright I guess; don't know their records or what singles are from which albums.

13 gets my vote. Haven´t listen to blur in ages, but know I think I´m gonna listen to them when I get home from work.

Modern Life Is Rubbish
I cannot understand what makes Parklife so "good"

And of course their most yank-stealing self-titled is their best!

But honestly I find little of interest in most Britpop.

Blur - Blur for me

I wouldn't call Blur britpop. They just don't suit it, and Damon's voice is not "poppy" enough.

Thurston Moore & Blur - 101 %

blur defined britpop

Are you trying to tell us that you, a twenty-something Londoner, know more about Britpop than an Australian teenager? That's outrageous!

Anyway, I vote the self-titled one, although the last time I listened to it I found myself skipping more tracks than I thought I would.
