[george mcfly]

it was a tough call between Modern Life and Parklife. in the end i went for Parklife because i still listen to it on the sly

along with The Bluetones first album and The Charlatans s/t

 

[Moods For Mallards]

The Great Escape. Am I too late?

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Or Dog Man Star maybe.

Or

It's wiretastic

 

[Lili Marlene]

Or

It's wiretastic

did a fantastic Adam and the Ants cover so they did

 

[meltdown]

yeah modern life is rubbish is great, leisure is great, blur and 13 are also great, parklife was good at the time , the great escape was a coked up mishap, but you just cant beat think tank(with the exception of crazy beat ) took me ages to get into it but its definitely there best.

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Entertain Me, Globe Alone, He Thought of Cars, not to mention all the b-sides from that period

shurrup, that album is brilliant!


Anyway, where's the 'If Popscene was an album I would choose Popscene' option?

Also, Yuko and Hiro. Really nice song.

I had a b-sides album that someone sent me on tape when I was a kid. It was really good. I'd maybe choose that just to be a nuisance. Theme From an Imaginary Film was on it. But 13 is easily their best album. It's worth breaking up with someone just to wallow in the glory of 1992.

was just listening to blur(1997) there, death of a party is a real cracker of a song, had totally forgotten about this album..I've listened to modern life is rubbish way more than any other one tho.

 

[cephalopod]

Parklife is their best album by a country mile, dunno why so little is being said about it??? People afraid to admit to liking their greatest commercial success?

End of a century
Badhead
This is a low
To the end

It makes me too sad to listen to it. I put it on and I'm 13, delivering Fianne Fail leaflets around Marino in the scorching hot summer of 1995 listening to it on my walkman.

Parklife reminds me of moving house with my family,dressing like Justine from Elastica in Doc Marten boots and Fred Perry's and kissing boys...good times....

BLUR REUNITING

http://www.nme.com/news/blur/41530

Blur are reforming to play live next year, NME can exclusively reveal.

The full line-up – Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree – will play their first gigs together since guitarist Coxon quit the band in 2002.

Speaking only to NME in a world exclusive joint interview, Albarn and Coxon explained that they had put their differences behind them and were looking forward to playing live in 2009.

"It just felt it was right again," declared Albarn of Blur's return. "It somehow feels like there's something for us to do again, we're not completely useless or pointless, we've got a reason to exist."

Coxon agreed, explaining the band were "making public what's been going on a little bit privately. For the benefit of the fans and those interested we can say that something's on the cards".

What is on the cards is a headlining show in Hyde Park, London on Friday, July 3.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am (GMT) this Friday (December 12). To check the availability of Blur tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/GIGS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

See Blur.co.uk for more information.

There are also rumours of further dates, including a possible appearance at the 2009 Glastonbury festival.

However, while the band refused to confirm any other shows, Albarn promised fans around the UK that the band would be announcing some more shows.

"We'll do something in London because that seems sensible," he said, "but we're also playing in other parts of the country working up to there."

You can watch a video of Blur talking about their reunion on NME.COM now.

For the full exclusive joint interview with Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon get this week's issue of NME (cover pictured), on newsstands in London this afternoon, and available across the UK tomorrow (December 10).

In it the duo discuss how they buried the hatchet, why they decided to reconvene Blur, what songs they expect to play next year, and reveal more of their future plans.

Meanwhile, head to the NME Office Blog to nominate the songs you'd most like to hear at Blur's Hyde Park gig.
