@giocoliere, if you only know the best of, you know very little about the blur@dedoluz radio-friendly songs? What does it mean? When there's an obvious and brilliant melodic structure, it becomes a radio jingle? When there has always been an experimental attitude at the base, for the controversies deliberately created you have to look beneath the pathetic oasis, which by the way were routinely mocked by the blur who couldn't care less.

mmm.. I would say that The Great Escape is in line with what they created up until Parklife, while also containing, in my opinion, the signs of what they would bring out in the subsequent albums. Blur, if anything, exploded that musical culture you're talking about, culturally giving birth to it with Parklife, and then destroying it with Blur, maintaining a position of objective artistic uniqueness in relation to the dust storm that was forming beneath them. That said, yes, Modern Life Is Rubbish is yet another great album, and there should have also been Popscene, which they never released on record out of anger over its failure.

Yes, 13 is worth retrieving because it's a great album, but Parklife is also a great album. The truth is that Blur have always made records that are four to five stars. The Great Escape, for example, is inexplicably underrated when it's actually as great as Parklife. @alessioIRIDE Britpop doesn't mean anything, it's a term invented by the press to lump together the English rock scene of the '90s. There were bands that had nothing to do with each other, and Blur have always followed a very personal and solitary path, mocking everything that had to do with that scene.

The debut of a great band, which has indelibly marked the last 17 years of English rock, "sing" and "birthday" are literally breathtaking, the climax of the album, Graham Coxon is simply a genius guitarist.

Great review, a bit lacking in objectivity and a bit too fanatical, though. They aren't really the best band on Earth, and "Kid A" is certainly not a masterpiece. "Idioteque" is just plain ugly, in my opinion. The experimentation of Radiohead is too tied to electronics; "The Bends" and "OK Computer" are beautiful, those are the Radiohead for me.

Nice review, the album is beautiful, in them coexisted English and American psychedelic attitude, even though their style seems paradoxically closer to what was happening in England, detached from the rest of the American music of the time.

@frere ubu please, are we now also going to quote Scaruffi and the nonsense he says? It's exactly the opposite of the truth. Before the Beatles, there were only trivial songs; after that, pop music or pop rock or rock, or however we want to call it, became something completely different for various reasons. With Sgt. Pepper, on a symbolic and cultural level, pop rock gained an artistic dignity equal to jazz. And Nirvana, whom I love, have repeatedly acknowledged the influence the Beatles had on them, among others. I don't understand how some can believe that Scaruffi is doing criticism.

Well, perhaps he means the term pop in another way; here, of course, the term pop is understood in the noblest sense of the word. Pop, as music and culture, was born precisely with all the various groups and artists of the time.

It is undeniable, however, that the Beatles pushed the boundaries of their music quite "beyond." Just take "Tomorrow Never Knows," "A Day in the Life," "Happiness is a Warm Gun," "I Want You," "Strawberry Fields Forever" just to name a few, all without undermining the importance of the other bands mentioned, of course.
