Final Thoughts:

"I think album wise they're not all that, but i can't knock their ability for releasing brilliant singles. Their songs unite thousands, whether it's the pop of Girl and Boys or the rock of Song 2 are known by everyone. Props to them, unlike their peers they developed their sound as well." Piss me Off

"They manage to blend a nice mix of quirky songs such as Parklife or Country House amidst some great writing on This is a Low or Universal. Never ones to take themselves too seriously, they have let themselves create the music that they want, allowing for a consistently steady change and growth down the line." ToeAndno

"There is something very British about Blur that I like that, while leading to lower sale figures on the American market, also brought something very special and charming to their music." The Monkey

[Charmless Men: The Monkey, ToeAndno, Piss Me Off, Sweet Nothing, Minstrel, Zombeels]
