British music is big business and these
guys are one of the biggest players
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 blur songs for this list we’ve chosen
our entries based on a combination of
the artists fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs
number 10 this is a low
goes pretty a
one of the last songs off of 1994’s
much-heralded Parklife album this is a
low is an ironic high within the blur
back catalogue
you
inspired by the British shipping
forecast all barns accented tones are
especially patriotic in this one
referencing all parts of the English
coastline the song proved to be standout
of the respective album and quickly
became a fan favorite
this track certainly wasn’t a loaf or
blur in the long run
to Spain
number nine under the Westway who would
gray skies in my city today the 2010s
have not been blurs most prolific decade
in terms of new releases but when Albarn
Coxon James and Roundtree teamed up to
pen this emotional effort in aid of war
child they rewound the years and then
someday they switch off the machines
maybe yellow
much more than a fan pleaser under the
Westway is rightly held as one of the
group’s most notable records another
England centric song the title refers to
a major road that can be found in West
London
I swear Alex James summed it up most
effectively
it’s a standstill and cry your eyes sort
of job come on starlet C to the tide
wash up off the west way number 8 Park
life confidence – preference the
official boy at all for his nightmares
in terms of anthems this is certainly
when a blur is finest for once though
Damon Albarn isn’t the main attraction
as English actor Phil Daniel speaks the
comedic cockney verses I’ll get out for
not one except on Wednesdays when I
can’t rudely awakened by the Dutchman
Daniels was drafted into the record
after Albarn had attempted to assume the
all-out London character but didn’t feel
as though he could do the role justice
a light-hearted song and an exact
inspection of a specific rung on the
British class system Park life is
perfectly playful
you
number seven charmless man I’m having a
crowded road where people go to drink
away their glue the final single from
the fourth studio album Damon Albarn had
previously described
charmless man as the end of British pop
for blur
the record is ridiculously catchy and
also quite heavy on the pop-culture
references
the high-pitched courses and the nan and
ahhs make it a great live record whilst
the lyrical originality bring the tune
to a whole other level
he just loved
it’s no wonder it peaked at number five
on the UK Singles Chart
number six girls and boys another
anthemic offering girls and boys is a
highlight to any blur gig if ever a song
summed up the dance craze of the 90s
then it’s this one
girls and boys encapsulated the 1830’s
party culture and the sexual variance in
a way that no song has managed to do
since they proved one of Blair’s most
successful commercial efforts and has
since been named one of the best songs
of the 1990s
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke famously said
that the one song he wished he had
written was this one
I praise for one hell of a tune
number-5 beetlebum what an alt rock
masterpiece the sound is much more
distorted and the lyrics are much more
dangerous
a record about heroin use the title
refers to the chasing the Beatle method
of consuming the drug there are no
gimmicks here though the words are moody
the video is smoky and the entire thing
is appropriately blurry
the instrumental ending is especially
euphoric
number four coffee and TV
right
addiction is again the inspiration for
our next track this time it’s Graham
Coxon and alcohol
the guitarist takes lead vocals on
coffee and TV a record which recalls his
experiences giving up the booze there’s
a return to the clean-cut sound of blurs
early years here with a stylish ly
subdued feel that pulsates from start to
finish
the video accompaniment is another fine
achievement directed by legendary music
video filmmaking duo hammer and tongs
the milk carton character is as original
as he is awesome
number three tender
never afraid to reinvent their sound
tender was another triumph for the band
all barn and Coxson collaborate for the
lyrics on this one with the guitars
taking the iconic oh my baby refrain
inspired by Auburn’s breakup from
elastic as Justine Frischmann the hit
was only kept off of the top spot in the
UK chart by the Britney Spears mega hit
baby one more time
tender contains some of blurs greatest
moments such as guitars matched with a
gospel choir and Albarn signature accent
Oh
it’s an epic and it’s on our podium
number two song to woo-hooing its way to
the silver metal song – is Blair’s
biggest hit in America and one of their
most recognizable tracks worldwide a
jumbo J conceived to mimic us grunge
music it was an ironic success in the
States as heavy distortion when the band
a brand-new following
the second track and second single off
the band’s self-titled album song 2 is a
two-minute rock anthem that never fails
to get a crowd going
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
Oh
come true
there must be more to life
Oh
we’ve all become on a cold day in
springtime civil war is war we all were
poison
number one the universal this is the
next century
whether you’re never so sweet
is it optimistic is it pessimistic
whatever it is it’s our winner
yes the futures been so different
the universal is blur at their most
prophetic detailing a dystopia that
really really could happen through its
lyrics and highly acclaimed video
accompaniment
for all the promise that the future
holds for all barn and company there is
much to fear as well it’s a song that
addresses the technological age and does
so using some seriously majestic
orchestral work yes
it’s a video that’s clinically and
criminally clean all at once the future
may be bleak but the universal is
brilliant
