Blur
The better band of the whole pointless media-fueled British rivalry between Oasis, Blur rocks. You may know this London band (who formed in '88) from their song "Song #2", heard in arenas all over the world during sports events. Oasis may have made a more of a footprint with the American audience, but Blur really is the better band. Oasis exploded to an end in 2009. Blur, on the other hand, ended in 2003 with the highly underrated Think Tank, came back and gave us not only a string of great reunion shows during 2016-2018, but also gave us 2015's awesome The Magic Whip. If this whole rock 'n' roll thing were a sprint, Oasis may have won, but it's a marathon, so Blur wins. Most people would know lead singer Damon Albarn from his project Gorillaz, but Blur is a band, and I fuckin' love bands in case you can't tell that by this blog. Shout out to the whole band: drummer Dave Rowntree, guitarist Graham Coxon, and bassist Alex James. This British quartet got their start meeting in art-school in the U.K. The band's original string of albums are all certified classics, 91's Leisure, 93's Modern Life Is Rubbish, '94's high-mark Parklife, 95's The Great Escape, 97's self-titled Blur and 99's 13. What a discography. I'm gonna' keep it short in sweet with this band... because I feel like they paid the same respect to their fans with the time together and the amount of quality music they gave us. I'll let the music speak for itself and leave you with my top five favorites from Blur...

There you have it. Blur. Legendary band. On a totally random note- I remember owning their 2000 compilation Blur: The Best Of and Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots at the same time during middle school and listening to the shit out of them. I just felt the need to share that. Now I feel like a turd... it's...
