Since Blur had their mini reunion I've revisited them. goddam, I completely forgot how great they were. My older sister was a huge fan so I grew up listening to them a lot and I'm glad I did.
During the Britpop years they released album after album of great material. Brilliant pop songs with interesting lyrics, not to mention great videos.
they developed brilliantly as the years went on too. After the Great Escape they moved on from britpop and over the course of Blur, 13, and Think Tank they explored some really interesting ground. It was a shame when Graham left because it really spelled the end of them as a band.
Now their reunion is done and dusted. Just a couple of festival dates and they'regone again. I'm really pissed off I missed them, but I'm happy I was reminded to go back and listen to them again.
Blur Rock!

Would love to see them again.

Their best album is probably Parklife, it might be the best Brit-pop era record. I also love their more experimental material, like Blur, 13, and Think Tank. Modern Life Is Rubbish and The Great Escape are both very underrated by the general public, and even Leisure, which is their weakest effort, has some pretty good material on it.
