Now this isn’t going to a history lesson (I just don’t have the time) but if you do have a moment go read up on Oasis vs Blur (wiki link) and Britpop (wiki link) in general. It’s great reading and a little Britpop should be part of any music lovers music collection.

Blur are my band of choice closely followed by Oasis but Blur were just so damn interesting and creative where Oasis were good at what they did and stuck to it like glue.

So the reason for this post is that for whatever reason Parlophone one of Blur’s record labels has created a YouTube thingamajig that has 23 of Blurs music videos that are featured on the Blur: The Best of compilation which I have two copies but not the elusive release on MiniDisc.

Anyway if you want a crash course in Blur and Britpop in general sit back and have a listen to some of Blur’s finest.

I suggest She’s So High, There’s No Other Way, For Tomorrow, Girls and Boys, Parklife, Country House, Charmless Man, Beetlebum, M.O.R, Tender, Coffee and TV, The Universal just to name a few…
