as a matter of fact I have everything of Blur (except Modern Life is Rubbish, but without their singles), everything of Radiohead (including some of the EPs), everything of Oasis (I have downloaded the singles). I also have everything of Muse (Hulabaloo too), two or three albums of Supergrass, one best of Coldplay (self made;)) and only Urban Hymns of the Verve. My britpop collection consists of about 20 CDs, of which 15 are original (sorry, I just can't buy all the things that I wanna buy)... I love Blur and Oasis equally. But my favourites remain Radiohead and I don't care if some mother fookers say that Thom is a "miserable ginger dwarf" (as Liam said)and a "fuckin moaning twat(or vagina, dunno - as Stereophonics said). It is what the music matters. The same story is with Blur. I like some of their albums much - some not. I like numbers Parklife, Great Escape and Blur the best. 13 is very good, but just not as their previous. I still can't understand and love Think Tank. Maybe I owe it more time. Leisure is nice, but... it sounds a little bit like Pablo Honey's Radiohead - half of the songs - very good, one quarter - not so bad, and the last quarter - the rest...  Blur are great band, whatever some people say, and they dezerve credit and respect. I don't fooking care if Damon Albarn is a twat. The music matters. Besides that Liam is far not a nice and moral man and I don't like him so much. His behaviour was (and still is) far more worst than Damon's. But this is what is cool in your eyes: a press light on their erratic behaviour, drug-habits, fights, hookers and etc. You can't say that one group are "miserable", because they are not acting "cool" as Oasis. Most Blur-haters (and Oasis themselves in fact) hate Blur, because they weren't so "cool". And it just doesn't fucking make sense. The music matters oustanding and before everything else. ____ \/-peace, love and bananas! |

elan morin, u make alot of good points ,blur have made some good songs ,but not great albums in my opinion, i can listen to some of their stuff but the problem is the bad blood especially during 94-97 was so deep that hardcore fans of both simply cannot get into the other band. its like supporting united or city,liverpool or everton there is no fence sitting for the hardcore. if you enjoy music and dont mind liking both then more power to ya ,,I for one would never go see a blur or gorillaz gig cause i think i would lose my card carrying OASIS FANATIC MAD FER IT CARD  |

THATS true caro nme started it but u gotta say both liam and noel lit the fire LIAM slagged damon off at every opportunity and NOEL did say he hoped the drummer and damon died of aids (he apolpgised later but did say it) so the bad blood was sincere ;D (i love rock fueds) |

i think blur had some great songs. personally think graham coxon is a cool dude. though damon albarn is a bit of a prick. that is exactly what my opinion of them is. Blur have some great tunes, parklifes a good fun album, proper pop music. I like their music, but albarns a vagina. |

Liam is nice vocal, good at his job, but his behaviour sometimes infuriates me. Besides that I even disliked him and the band, after what they did with Whitey!  |

ye I actually like a lot of songs from RW, but I don't think this is the right forum to say that  I can understand why people really hate him (because of his pop/boy band image) but he surely has some good songs. That's my opnion I don't say that's got to be yours well i agree with u  ppl!! for god's sake be more tolerative!! to not like somebody cos he's from south it's absolutely stupid! gosh! do u lock urself only in oasis or rock music? really?? i love oasis yeah i love rock yes, very much i love blur yeah i love pop-rock and some soul and r'n'b stuff as well i love metal and i love many rw's songs and SO FUCKIN' WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!! do u have to diss everybody who has different music than oasis? that's pathetic  |

Pop music nowadays has been pissed on by all these manufactured trashy bands that people have put under the same genre. Blur made good pop music in the same way that i think pulp did in the mid 90's. |

Sorry but its quite obvious Oasis were more "pop" than blur due to their popularity in the ninteties
The meaning of pop music is popular music which cannot be denied oasis once was

What's actually wrong is that they are addicts. It was sad to see their condition in the latest documentary. I hope they manage to overcome it.
Beyond that, they were a great band, at least once. Now it's a bit sad to see their current state compared to 15 years ago. Hyde Park 2009 is one of my favorite concerts ever. Now, they look like completely different people compared to those in 2009 - a bunch of old addicts.

My brother has taught in private schools, so he's seen it: middle class kids can get their hands on good stuff much earlier than the rest of us, and they learn to hide their dependency. |

I am not a big Blur follower, so when I saw the Wembley concert I did think they looked very worn out.. they do not look older than they are, but actually kinda tired |

What did they say ? most musicians are not fit for a "regular" life anyway, most artists even. Demons tends to come back later in life too. Graham seem better now than 2 years ago though. Anyway, Great band of course ! Although the last record was a bit disappointing. More like a solo Albarn record with Coxon guitars; |

I’ve always liked blur and love Damon. The doc was really good. It will be super interesting to compare it to the oasis one if they make it. I don’t know a ton about blur so was amazed at how hard Damon works and how much he is holding that band together. It’s a shame they have so many addiction problems. It’s understandable for graham since he clearly was self medicating anxiety disorder but Alex has always come across to me as quite spoiled and a bit annoying. We went to both nights at Wembley. Night 2 was especially amazing. Damon was very emotional, I’ll never forget it.

Anyway, Great band of course ! Although the last record was a bit disappointing. More like a solo Albarn record with Coxon guitars; The condition of all four is terrible. Four former and apparently still current addicts who are falling apart throughout the entire documentary. Their condition is very poor. They aren’t really old enough to be falling apart like that; they're like 55 years old, that is not old. And the band sounds much worse, too. Everything feels sad. They simply look like four aging addicts, some more, some less. Their physical condition is also poor; they’re all overweight and hunched over. They all seem to be falling apart in the same way, both mentally and physically. In the end, Graham comes across as the best of them. They look tired and worn out, with a lot of uncontrolled crying—not in a human, emotional way, but more in a way typical of addiction. They simply don’t seem to be in good shape or in a good place in life. I don't mean to offend them in any way by saying this, I love both the band and them personally but everything just feels sad. |

I don't mean to offend them in any way by saying this, I love both the band and them personally but everything just feels sad. yeah i agree, although i have not seen the documentary, but ive seen the interview from the last album promo and they all seemed like old english dudes going to the pub 24/7, drinking too much. That's the english people, look at prince Wiliam, he went from Brad Pitt to well... his dad, in a couple of years. Its a common phenomenom in England, at 40 you go ugly  More seriously, Alex James and Damon are the worst, but Damon was probably hurt a lot by his breakup last year, after 25 years with the same woman. must be a bit of a shock. A bit like Noel, who got fat all of a sudden last year. Seem better now though. Drug is a big problem in our society, feels like everyone is doing coke now. Like its normal. |
