The greatest gift they'll get this year is a lift home from Brian's dad.

Parklife for me 100 percent . Phil Daniels was incidental to its success . I remember waiting for it to come out and bought it in the first day of release . Genius stuff. 
 

Fair on. 30 years old then, too. Still never let your love of music wane after all these years.

MLIR is brilliant as well as is Leisure. Only one I can’t get into is The Magic Whip.Might be time for a revisit. 

Leisure is kawality

Got MLIR on now, will try get to the end of it. 
 

let’s just remember the time the bassist was speechless that someone didn’t know who he was. Dick head 

 

Edit, only song I choose to listen to is OOT,  Nice guitar 

 

[Poodler]

Is that right? Never knew that. They’re playing the lemon tree soon, saw a poster the other day. 
 

can’t believe they’re still touring that mildly commercially successful album from about 20 year ago

He does come across as a bit of a tosser. 

He makes pancakes, amongst other food, for a living nowadays I gather, so that would explain the tosser part?.

[Poodler]

Mates with David Cameron aswell isn’t he?

Alex James is also to blame for scouting for girls getting a record deal 

That alone is cuntish to the extreme - chuck in the rest and you've as pure a cunt as you'll ever witness 

 

Piece of shite-haired shit that he is 

Astonishing bit of knowledge from a cunt as old as you. 

I had you down as being a bit of a Beverley Sisters aficionado. Or Big Fun.

Personal favourite is 'Miss America.' Brilliant song

Used to really like Blur, but my god Albarn has a piss poor vocal (especiallylive), is a grade A prick and Leisure has always been shit. 

 

Justine and Brett absolutely rip him to shreads in their biographies. Told the UK music press they were pathetic junkies, unlike him, when he was the first one on heroin and fucked various people up. I'm not a man of violence, but I'd happily punch him in the face.

I've got 'Coal Black Mornings' sitting on the shelf, worth a read? 
 

I still like DA. Disagree about his vocals, just a different delivery style to his contemporaries.

Here consi son - what do you like about him? 

 

He's a fucking cunt

His music. I don't know that there's ever been a more prolific British musician, ever. 
 

To go from being in a really successful rock band, to starting something totally new, animated and all sorts, and that arguably being bigger, is totally mental. He's got hits for days, and he's a quality songwriter. He's a lover of music and through watching interviews etc with him I've managed to broaden my own horizons, musically. 
 

I know a few folk who've met him and said he's a sound cunt. Probably been famous for so long he falls into the pitfalls of arseholery, but the guy is a musical and pop genius, no mistake. 
 

I still like Suede. They are/were brilliant. Never got into Elastica tho.

Correct

Only reason justine got a career in music was through association with DA. Her band were dogshit and she was a beaut. 

Leisure>suede>elastica

[Reed or deed]

Oasis > Blur

[Bluto10]

liked albums 1>3 of blur, lost interest after that

altho my blur blur with bonus live cd is decent

 

peak oasis definitely better than anything blur did

Really? I think that's a massive exaggeration, no matter how much you like Damon albarn.

Give me an artist with a higher success rate? 
 

Even Bowie was somewhat irrelevant for 20/25 years at one point, although I should say I like just about everything he did. DA has been doing it for 30 years now, spanning all sorts of genres of music, collaborators etc etc. He's one of a handful of people who could sellout arena tours with both his bands. 
 

He also keeps trying to make things that are new and interesting. If you compare that to his peers like the Gallagher bros, they just churn out the same chords, same shit every time they release anything.

Define ‘success’ and who has the final say on credibility, I wonder?

I mean tell me someone who has two bands of essentially different genres, that could sell out stadium tours across Europe? 
 

The Gorillaz do stadium tours in the states as well. 

Obv it's subjective how much you like an artist  but I don't think I'm wrong in saying he's one of the most prolific British artists ever. 
 

 

[Guest milne_afc]

Gorrilaz are a novelty act/utter shit. I’m not getting involved in this.

Two wildly different songs that encapsulate the mans genius. 
 

Long live DA!

Maybe an age thing. I grew up listening to them long before I got into Blur.

Bowie and Paul Weller are the two that immediately spring to mind.
