Just seen them on Jools. Very average imo tonight but what does everyone else on here think of them? Good band or totally overrated?

Used to think they were good, now think they're shite. A lot of it has dated very badly, IMO.

Sound always is 'off' on the TV.

They never progressed, same tired drivel everytime. If you like one Blur track, you'll like them all. JJ rated them highly on Roundtable recently, but was he taking the piss?
I'll see you in the sewer!!!

I think they've made a few good songs in the past but they've gone up their own arse but obviously they are the darlings of the music media.

I liked Blur around 90-95.

After that nothing really grabbed my ears.

First song was alright, second didn't do much. Coxon is a great guitarist.

I can live in a world with or without them!

Not really a Blur fan but the Parklife album is alright and "Out Of Time" is a classic
