I have and I think 'Happiness In Magazines' is a very good album. I am glad that you strongly disagree with me as I hate to follow a crowd

I always thought it strange to compare the two bands. They are both totally different other than being labeled 'Britpop' the sound and image is completely different.

Although I like both bands, I think what sets Blur apart is that more members contributed, Graham is an underrated guitarist and Damon I think is classically trained on piano, at least in part.

Oasis is just Noel plus Lennon and McCartney.

You cannot help but compare the bands especially around '95 with the battle for No.1. Musically they are not close but the time and place inextricably links these bands.

How can choosing 'Bring It On Down' be following the crowd. I rarely hear the track being mentioned and 'The Great Escape' gets dismissed for the abysmal 'Country House'. so choosing my fave Blur track from there won't be all that popular.

Bring it on down is one of my fav's. But there are plenty of other catchy ones on The Great Escape.

Why does everyone hate on The Great Escape?
although their most radio oriented and pop sounding record, i find it fantastic.

Their best pop album, sorta a kiss off to britpop before diving into lo-fi.

'kiss of the morning' was great, thought the follow-up was just NME bait. i'd quite like to check out some of his earlier solo stuff, with album titles like 'crow sit on blood tree' it kind of brings to mind john frusciante's tormented ****. but, you know, good.
don't think we're ever gonna see another decent record from the Blur again, honestly. Damon'll probably squeeze out a few surprises but... whatever. we'll always have fookin oasiiiis!
