Blur

Anyone listen to them? Anyone even heard of them? They're quite good. You may know them from the song Song 2....The Woohoo! song.

 

I never heard of them.

 

Very popular indy band in the UK. I like Song 2 and Coffee & TV but the rest of their stuff isn't my taste.

They're the main rivals to Oasis who more people may have heard of.

 

Many of you probably know the lead singer as the creative mind behind Gorillaz.

 

Oh they must be good if the lead is from Gorillaz, w00t 100th post.

 

Well, its older than Gorillaz, they started in 1989 Btw, Damon Albarn is the voice behind 2D (the purple haired guy)

never heard of them

 

That was a one hit wonder, but more people have heard of them than blur.

 

Na, Gorilliz wasn't a one hit wonder, it's just their music isn't really radio friendly. Too much repetitive electro to get airplay.

Yeah, Blur and Oasis were mega rivals. Blur won with the single Country House vs Oasis' single Roll With It (I think), but crashed and burned when the albums came out (Blur's 'The Great Escape' against Oasis' '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?).

 

Excuse me?

 

Depends one where you are dude. They are (were) the second biggest name in in the Brit Rock scene, and that's saying a helluva lot.
