- Coffee and TV. We’re as susceptible to Damo’s charms as anyone, but let’s face it, ‘Coffee and TV’ sees the boy Coxon hit a home run so hard his hands are still shaking.
- Out of Time. After a four-year hiatus, Britpop’s washed-out conquerors returned with this off-brand slow-burner, the surprise lead single from ‘Think Tank’.
- Girls and Boys. Disco bass pops, pro-LGBT lyrics and an impossibly addictive to-me-to-you chorus – ‘Girls and Boys’ is the defining Britpop anthem. Not just a commercial breakthrough for the group, who springboarded into the pop culture stratosphere off its back, the track also made NME’s 1994 single of the year.
- Good Song. Half a decade after the Britpop boom, Blur’s 2003 album ‘Think Tank’ riled a clutch of fans, who felt betrayed by Damo and co’s arrogant pursuit of a musical style that didn’t taste of the previous decade’s leftover Foster’s.
- 13 (1999) Blur at their most experimental, and their their punkiest, Blur at their boldest and simultaneously broadest, Blur at the peak of their creative powers: that’s 13 and it’s why it tops our list.
- Parklife (1994) It might not be a perfect album, but Parklife is a true classic that came along at a time when British music, and guitar music respectively, desperately needed something to elevate it.
- Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993) Inspired by a disastrous US tour and the desire to make music that embraced quintessential British ideas, Modern Life is Rubbish was a deliberate attempt to move away from the trends of the time.
- Blur (1997) In 1997 the Britpop bubble burst as Radiohead’s Ok Computer arrived and made the movement's broad, chipper, Kinks-thieving anthems sound utterly redundant.
- “The Universal,” The Great Escape (1995) Blur’s single greatest song is also one of their most slyly dark, juxtaposing imagery of surveillance and hints of dystopia with an overarching sense of defeat.
- “This is a Low,” Parklife (1994) The era of Britpop peaked with this most English of songs: a ballad about the Shipping Forecast, a BBC radio broadcast that’s influenced art and poetry, as well as a long list of songs from the likes of Radiohead and Wire.
- “Tender,” 13 (1999) The maximalist counterpart to “No Distance Left to Run,” “Tender” turns the idea of a breakup song on its head, reveling in an uplifting gospel melody — backed by the London Community Gospel Choir — while continuing a long, slow build during the course of its seven-plus minutes.
- “Girls and Boys,” Parklife (1994) A campy foray into Duran Duran-flavored disco probably wasn’t what anyone expected after the conceptual jangle of 1993’s Modern Life is Rubbish, but Blur made a habit of shuffling the deck early and often.
