Even if you said 'Coxton" each and every time, the fact that you consider 13 possibly to be your fave made me want to shake your hand very much. Good chap!
I’d say The great escape and MLIR have a bit better works. Entertain me, is easily his best work and Colin zeal is also up there! But alex is so underrated
Graham Coxon (not Coxton) has actually released 11 albums, 8 personal ones, and 3 soundtracks. He hasn't been as successful as Damon was with Gorillaz, but he's had a great solo career. Other than that your comments on the albums are good, although my favorite is Blur. And yeah it's funny that they started as a shoegaze band. Sing, almost 30 years later is still a shoegaze anthem, immortalized by Trainspotting.
for me blur and 13 are one unit. theyre from seperate times in their individual lives, but it signifies to me a darker, more mature thing. They're both phenomenal albums.
I’d like to add my own list; Parklife: Easily their best, anyone can jump into it and have a great time 13: My personal favorite for the emotion that bleeds through the record. I do think it’s the hardest to get into due to how long, abstract, and experimental it is. The Magic Whip: Blur aging like a fine wine and perfecting the things they learned along the way! Blur(self titled 5th album): The easiest album of theirs to get into, has a more mature sound for the band while still maintaining a fun spirit at times. Modern Life is Rubbish: Parklife-lite. Has the cynicism but lacks a bit of polish, mainly in the production, but still good. Think Tank: A good record but really wasn’t the same without Graham. You can hear Damon’s control and musical interests at the time. The Great Escape: Trying to be more cynical with their wacky, zany, somewhat camp sound but it ends up hurting them. Also, the original production on this album needed a major overhaul which it got in 2012. Leisure: This is not the album Blur wanted to make for their first album. This is what their record company wanted so they could fit in with what was happening then.
Hector Gonzalez I’d probably agree with this one almost exactly. Parklife and 13 are probably my two favourite albums ever, and the Magic Whip is just- so good I love it.
It's Blur. The victors are Blur. They created much better music for so much longer, while Oasis started sucking after just two good records. I don't even know how this can be even defined as a contest.
There's no such thing as Blur getting too much love and recognition in the US. They won the war in a landslide. Great video! Now get on that Gorillaz deep dive.
So glad to see someone delve into Blur's discography, if only for a brief runtime (the RUclips algorithm isn't so bad after all!). I think the band is quite underappreciated in the long run, mostly overshadowed by the likes of Oasis and Radiohead. Honestly, my thoughts on their discography are almost exactly the same as yours! Love 13, easily their best album and, in my opinion, one of the best albums of the 90s. *That being said,* I heavily disagree with 13 being a starting point - if anything, this is easily their least accessible record, what with the experimentation and noise rock influences, which aren't everyone's cup of tea. If you ask me, the best starting points are The Magic Whip, Modern Life Is Rubbish and self-titled. The former does an excellent job at blending the older brit-pop sound of the band with the more unorthodox instrumentation of their later work, which can help the listener determine which direction they prefer and go on based on that. If you enjoyed songs like Lonesome Street, I Broadcast, Ghost Ship and Ong Ong, then check out Modern Life Is Rubbish. If you liked the more electronic tracks, listen to self-titled. Parklife and 13 are essential though. No doubt about that. Love your format! Quick and to the point, and quite funny at times! Would love to see your take on Radiohead, as well as some other artists (Nine Inch Nails, perhaps?).
Just realized how small your channel is. I'll check out more of your stuff. The production quality really is just on par of that of top music channels. And you bring a lot of personality into it.
I think the best way to get into the Blursverse is to listen to any playlist (on Spotify, Deezer, RUclips, etc) full of Blur singles, from She's so high to I broadcast. And then dive into the album of singles you liked the most.
Don't forget to also listen to "Fool's day". A true gem that was released as a 7", with only 1000 copies made. I'm afraid it isn't available in any app music, only on RUclips.
Further on the Britpop theme, I'd be interested to see your take on Pulp. They definitely have some of my favourite Britpop songs, and they're something a little bit different.
Can I recommend the verve or pulp? Both class bands feel like pulp is underrated out of disco 2000 and common people. And verves 2nd and 3rd albums are just masterpieces, you may know the verve for bittersweet symphony.
And Simon Tong from the Verve worked with Damon Albarn on The Good, the Bad and the Queen ! Saw them in may in Paris and their work together is awesome, especially with Paul Simonon (the Clash) and Tony Allen !
Is it bad that I think Think Tank as their best album? It doesn't have the same Blur aesthetic but it's such a great alternative and at times heartfelt record and I love it, especially with added B-Sides.
It's a very loose-sounding album. I think it's perfect for chilling. It has some of their most heartfelt songs, I agree. I just wish they would take out Crazy Beat cause I dislike that song. As for the b-sides, I love Morricone!
The Great Escape has my personal favorite song of Blur - He Thought of Cars. It's just magnificent, and (controversy approaching) way better emotionally and lyrically than The Universal.
I know right! They deserve much more praise for their extraordinary versatility and ability to cover difficult themes. Not too dissimilar from Radiohead, in this sense. But somehow they aren't as well regarded, probably because they've been always associated with the britpop thing, which seems to be a very misunderstood musical scene these days
I think that when you look back at the album now you can say that they haven't made a bad album but in context of the time I can see why people thought The Great Escape was a low point for the band, I love this band and actually really enjoyed that album. good video, 10/10 would totally keep in my favorites and never watch it again.
As a virtually lifelong Blur fan, I mostly agree with your thoughts here. BUT Graham 'Coxton' Coxon has released more albums as a solo artist than Blur have as a band - a bit more than 'a couple of albums'! I would also argue most of Graham's solo catalogue is as good as, if not better than, Blur's.
Found the CD of Magic Whip in a charity shop for £1 a couple of weeks back. Didn't know what it was and had to look it up. Was surprised to find they'd ever reformed. Didn't buy it as I've already hundreds more CDs than I'll ever have to time to properly listen to.
For me the last four albums are the best from blur, blur its amazing quite rare but it has the most digerible songs, 13 is 13 man what else need to say, think tank its criminally overlooked but i guess i like it that much because it has an emotional weigth to me, and most comeback albums from bands suck but the magic whip does not!
I also feel bad when I think of all the stuff they had to go through to make 13, but that album changed my life, it was definitely my first approach with “cool” music and even tho I know the whole issue with Pavement I cannot turn off the enjoyment that is listening to that album.
You mean Pavement saying Blur ripped off their sound? Is 13 included too in that criticism? Because I haven't yet heard Pavement's albums but I know that Blur's self-titled was heavily inspired by them
I honestly always largely preferred Modern Life over Parklife, that's probably my hot take. It's so much more energetic and fresh sounding. And maybe Parklife was also just a bit too goofy for me. The slower songs like Blue Jeans also just do it more for me than those from Parklife. Also Leisure always feels like a slog, with exception of Wear Me Down, Sing, She's So High and Bang. Nowadays I only really listen to certain songs from each album anyway, with the one exception being 13, which is without a doubt the best thing any of them ever made.

I remember this video being uploaded a few months back that also had a similar analogy to the Britpop War between Blur and Oasis for their singles "Country House" and "Roll With It" respectively.

YES! The DDD I've been waiting for since the Oasis one :) Also, since Coldplay are set to release a new album next month, do you think that would be a good opportunity to check out their stuff? Cheers!
Thank you so much for doing this. I requested it on your Oasis video. Both Blur sand Oasis Are my favourite bands. Great job besides the Coxton part but I'll let it slide lol. Side note do you think Blur have another album in them?
So far you’ve covered the bands that looked cool. In the case of blur they also said something meaningful. Suede and Pulp managed to be incisive about thr human condition, which in my book makes them way cooler.
Great video! I was thinking the other day about who won the Battle for Britpop, and I came to the same conclusion as you: Oasis at time, Damon Alburn in the long run.
The winner of the britpop war was Radiohead, cuz they really had a perfect timing w their releases, ended the britpop era and changed the whole music sphere lol
One of the best decades (their 90s albums) of any artists decades ever in my view and the best band of the 90s. Oasis was better live and made solid albums, but not with Blurs depth and creativity

Essex Dogs still blows my mind
I kinda hate how short this video is, this band deserves a 40 min + video 😂
I’d like to add my own list;
Parklife: Easily their best, anyone can jump into it and have a great time
13: My personal favorite for the emotion that bleeds through the record. I do think it’s the hardest to get into due to how long, abstract, and experimental it is.
The Magic Whip: Blur aging like a fine wine and perfecting the things they learned along the way!
Blur(self titled 5th album): The easiest album of theirs to get into, has a more mature sound for the band while still maintaining a fun spirit at times.
Modern Life is Rubbish: Parklife-lite. Has the cynicism but lacks a bit of polish, mainly in the production, but still good.
Think Tank: A good record but really wasn’t the same without Graham. You can hear Damon’s control and musical interests at the time.
The Great Escape: Trying to be more cynical with their wacky, zany, somewhat camp sound but it ends up hurting them. Also, the original production on this album needed a major overhaul which it got in 2012.

That’s completely subjective.
Blur made me appreciate variety in albums
i love this, blur is such an under appreciated band. their were very ahead of the curve. their eponymous album and 13 are some of the best ever made.
There's no such thing as Blur getting too much love and recognition in the US. They won the war in a landslide. Great video! Now get on that Gorillaz deep dive.

pulp were massive in the UK. not underrated
The traditional and correct answer to "Who were better, Oasis or Blur?" is "Pulp".
@@Captain_Rhodes probably outside of the UK they are underrated but I'm not sure, I live in Chile and a lot of people here like Pulp
I’ve come back to say thanks because 13 is one of my all time favorite albums of all time

That song screams melancholic existentialism and I love it
Finally someone who appreciates He thought of cars. It's the hidden gem from TGE and one of the Blur's best songs

Thank you so much for doing this. I requested it on your Oasis video. Both Blur sand Oasis Are my favourite bands. Great job besides the Coxton part but I'll let it slide lol. Side note do you think Blur have another album in them?
Blur - Country House is my favorite country song.
blur and mcr are in dire need of a re-dive. id love to see your insight on them both with your newer writing style
can you do a deeper look at this one like your more recent videos?
Besides saying 'Coxton', you had some pretty good takes, and I found this video quite informative. I'd really like to see you Discog Dive Death Grips

woo hoo
Great video! I was thinking the other day about who won the Battle for Britpop, and I came to the same conclusion as you: Oasis at time, Damon Alburn in the long run.
scott the woz but for music
We all know that the real winner was pulp
You fucking know it
he should listen to the ballad of darren
I was mad at Blur for a long time for being mean to Nardwuar
Eh I understand that. Hopefully they redeemed themselves, they seem in a much better place now
So short, why
We need a 2024 updated ver!!! ..
TMBG would be a nice healthy DDD...
I recommend any one of the Grunge big four, imo you should try Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, but any one of the four is fine
Blur was if Gorillaz exclusively listened to local bands and bragged about listening to local bands
Oasis won the battle, but Blur won the war, agreed 👍🏼
I've always liked Blur more
I do like Oasis, but I just really like Blur
you gotta redo this one, little bro
Do The Cure, Prince and Talking Heads please
The winner of the britpop war was Radiohead, cuz they really had a perfect timing w their releases, ended the britpop era and changed the whole music sphere lol
i’m struggling to find the ‘t’ in the surname ‘Coxon’.
Lol just a pronunciation goof!
how come nobody likes leisure.. i think it's their best album.
One of the best decades (their 90s albums) of any artists decades ever in my view and the best band of the 90s. Oasis was better live and made solid albums, but not with Blurs depth and creativity
The true winner of the Britpop war was Radiohead, when they caused it's utter destruction.
I believe the britpop battle was won by Oasis, but the post Britpop battle was won by Blur.
Sigur Rós?
