Now, I don't listen to either band much. But I do listen to Blur a hell of a lot more, especially 13. I always felt 13 was Blur's strongest album. It was an innovative, creative and generally interesting album. What's your favourite Blur album?

Song 2 was great woman!

Hmmm. That's actually really difficult for me. It's between 'Modern life is Rubbish' and '13'. 'Leisure' was a bit Madchester, MLIR seemed to be a more comfortable album for them. But, then again, 'Parklife', as overplayed as it is does have some enormously fantastic tracks on it too... Sigh. Decision making is not my strong point.

Song 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The song was meant to be a parody of American grunge music. Ironically however, it was embraced by the same radio stations whose airplay choices the song was parodying in the first place."

I appreciated the concept of 'Song 2'. Just didn't think it was that great. Though with that whole album they were going in a slightly different direction, which luckily worked (God bless you Graham Coxon).

Anyway...
