Hmm. I also think "Country House" is one of their better songs.

"Pop Scene" and "Yuko & Hiro" are far and away their best songs, though.

I recently got a 4 dics version of Parklife and I must say the acoustic version of For Tomorrow is just a giant eargasm. Anyone else seen Starshaped? Its a must watch for a Blur fan

I also happen to think Country House is one of Blur's strongest tunes, it pretty much is the perfect pop song.

As for the rest of their back catalogue... as i've grown up and my taste has evolved i've kind of moved away from Britpop, i do tend to think blur are overrated these days. I much prefer their later stuff too. I think people have a soft spot for them because they are such a quintessentially english band.
