The first single didn't make a huge impression but I really, really love this song.

I'm looking forward to this. Lonesome St is cool too. Next trip to Melbourne will hopefully be for a sideshow around Splendour in the Grass.

The Melbourne Blur gig was one of the best I've ever seen. 3 of the Magic Whip tunes would have been nice instead of 6 filling up the set list but gosh they were 'on'.

Didn't realize there was a thread for this, or that other people on RM even liked Blur. I love Blur (mostly everything from ST onward; the earlier brit pop stuff is fun, but I like their more experimental side).

I always felt like 13 didn't get the credit it deserved, considering OK Computer come out around the same time and was a critical darling.

Think Tank is a fun record.

And yes, Magic Whip is still great. Felt sort of like a step back to a strictly song-focused record, without any of the little oddities that made their later albums so much fun. But these songs are awesome. Not a bad one in the bunch.

Sounds made up. No way it tops Blur or 13.

Modern Life is Rubbish is, well... rubbish, but The Great Escape is pretty good. The three singles are some of Blur's best songs.

Happy to see 13 at the top, though.

This is an outstanding album, but I'm going to have a hard time giving it the nod over 13. I'll keep listening in the coming weeks before telling Spenno his opinions are bad and that he should feel bad.

Is Coxon the most underrated guitarist of all time, or do you think he gets adequate credit?
