I'm going to start with The Great Escape and then Parklife and Blur. Seems like those 3 are pretty safe to begin with.

Pea,
You should check out the documentary No Distance Left To Run. I think it will have you a Blur fan for life in 90mins.

So much Blur in my near future! Thanks Friendly I'll check that out too! Maybe I'll youtube Tender before I get off work as my starting point.

Poor Think Tank.
Seriously though there is no way that 13 is better than Think Tank.

currently listening to The Great Escape. I can see why they are a big deal and all, but it's just not resonating with me like I thought it would. I respect what they're doing and all, but in all honesty I'll probably never listen to this album again.

The Great Escape isn't really typical of Blur.
Although what IS typical of Blur would be difficult to nail down, it is certainly not The Great Escape.
