Just read through this whole thread, some interesting opinions to say the least!
Blur are one of my favourite bands - alongside Suede most probably. I've got to say on the topic of Oasis vs Blur; that Oasis are shockingly over hyped and pretty much rode the fame that was created with the Blur rivalry- something Albarn was never really interested in and tried his hardest to abstain from any association with the Britpop thing (which was basically the NME trying to create new era in British music post 80's).
Also just to gloat, I was at the Glasto headline gig! Which may I add was probably in the top 3 moments of my life.
Finally, in case anyone didn't know Blur realeased a new song earlier this year called Fools Day - not seen it posted in here. Quite a nice song with some lovely work on guitar by Coxon, reminiscent of early Blur work and certainly a promising sign that they still 'have it' for any potential future albums! Youtube it because I can't post links yet!
