>blur made the better music though
This is some kind of sacred cow that people feel the need to pay lip service to because, for some reason, hipsters decided that the art school faggots with worse pop tunes, competing directly against a band with better pop tunes, must have more depth and substance.
The first half of Blur's catalogue is unlistenable. Outside of a few catchy singles, it's a bland and dreary repetition of the same joke song
>"It's a song about an Eng-er-lish man."
>"An' 'e's doin' Eng-erl-lish man things."
>"An' 'e's normal, innit, doin' normal things"
>"In'nit great to be an Eng-er-lish man" (winks at the listener ironically)
The music that accompanies it is dogshit, samey, and often out of tune. The band basically made a public admission of how shit and desperate they are when they ripped off that Icelandic band with "Song 2", and called in ringer producers to write "Coffee & TV" and a couple other hits for them.
Albarn's entire career under Gorillaz is a testament to how artless and cynical Blur are, it makes it more obvious.
