Blur tracks poll - the RESULTS thread

Ah, just realised this is the first track with a first place vote, so that should have read:
(5 votes, 1 first place, 121 points)

(of course, if this is #35, I should give up on seeing "Don't Bomb When You're the Bomb" probably.)

― Johnny Fever

Pretty sure I only heard this the one time but remember thinking it was terrible, that was a long time ago though.

It's more of a chant with a beat than an actual song, but I love it anyway (enough to place it #2 on my own ballot).

I just listened to it again on Youtube, I don't love it but it's no way near as bad as I remember. It's a very odd song, it sounds more like a Gorillaz track really.

"Country House" woz robbed (and my ballot I think never made it for some reason. Dunno, but I got a mail failure notice)

(My ballot did of course have "Country House" on top - one of the best songs ever made by anyone)

Is The Great Escape your favourite Blur album Geir?

I consider that "The Great Escape" and "Parklife" rather equal in quality.

I do have a lot of time for The Great Escape but there's too much filler on there.

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?

Food processors are great!

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

Yes, I will and I'm afraid yes, you were. Just for you:

33. Caramel
(5 votes, 123 points)

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.

I like it, but I can't really imagine it as a single.

Even a teaser picture? You're too good to me :)

32. Young & Lovely
(6 votes, 1 first place, 134 points)

I can't even find evidence that that song exists.

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.

AA: Young & Lovely was a b-side, from an early-middle career single (can't recall off the top of my head).

B-side to Chemical World and the bonus track on the Japanese version of the album.

Thank you!

Arse. I've done it again. Young & Lovely is joint 31st, not 32nd. So many ties...

=31. Sweet Song
(6 votes, 134 points)

This has been a great run, love Sweet Song so much.

Food processors are great!

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.

The next one's a bit of a surprise (well, to me anyway)...

These poll results are awakening me to the fact I was never really serious about liking Blur.

29. Theme From An Imaginary Film
(6 votes, 1 first place, 148 points)

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.

Inertia is the best one that I'd never heard before.
