Looking at the track listing for The Great Escape if you took out Charmless Man, Top Man, Mr Robinson's Quango, Ernold Same and Dan Abnormal you would have a pretty great 10 track album. The only thing I would really change about Parklife is to have not heard the title track so many times so I could still bear to hear it.

X-Post: The filler is the main problem about "The Great Escape", but the highlights are fantastic. And, as for the worst tracks, "Globe Alone" > "Bank Holiday". Although by a narrow margin (and "Chinese Bombs" is worse than both)

That's the sixth song from MLIR, and we're not even in the top 30 yet. Surprising?

Will you post all scores once this is all done? I want to see if I was indeed the only person to vote Dizzy. :)
I love the teasers pictures, thanks for doing this!
Also way xp - I also have a lot of love for entertain me and the live it remix too. A car! A house! Both in! A street!

Advert is making me think fuzzy half formed theories about how MLIR and Siamese Dream are bizarro versions of each other.
Flying back from Barcelona tomorrow btw :-( might not bother

33. Caramel(5 votes, 123 points)
― non voglio parlarne (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Monday, 30 May 2011 08:28 (fifteen years ago)
Caramel is such an amazing song, easily my favourite song on 13. I'm fairly sure I remember reading at the time Damon was pushing for it to be the second single after Tender which would have been brilliant.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 30 May 2011 11:08 (fifteen years ago)
I like it, but I can't really imagine it as a single.

so far, I'm finding that my taste in blur tracks differs wildly from these results.
i didn't vote. meant to. did not. sry.
So far, Inertia is a pleasant surprise. And Colin Zeal is awesome. Maybe Country House on occasion.
― bloomps! (there it is) (Pillbox), Monday, 30 May 2011 12:25 (fifteen years ago)
AA: Young & Lovely was a b-side, from an early-middle career single (can't recall off the top of my head).
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Monday, 30 May 2011 12:36 (fifteen years ago)
B-side to Chemical World and the bonus track on the Japanese version of the album.

Blue Jeans hasn't appeared yet because it is being saved for the top 10, right?

I thought I was pretty well versed in the Blur catalogue but I barely recognize or remember most of the songs in this last run.

xp - well, we're still only at the 6 or 7 voters per song stage (so only about a quarter of the voters) - there's far more of a consensus as we get towards the top

nah i have a totally limited liking for Blur and obv a different perspective to all you b-side loving nerdlingers

I only knew about three of the b-sides before this poll and I've never been a fan of Leisure so I don't really know most of the songs on that.
― non voglio parlarne (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Monday, 30 May 2011 18:22 (fifteen years ago)

Resigned is unusual in that the emotion is all in the music - the vocals are quite flat.
