How the fuck can you -not- know who Blur are?!
Last night at the Brits Blur were scheduled for a performance, so the producers had to cut Adele's speech short (which in fairness, was rude the way they did it, but had to be done) and pretty much everyone on Facebook and Twitter were asking "who are Blur" and saying things like "Oh my god they can't sing"
I genuinely can't comprehend the ignorance of some people. Blur were in chart wars with Oasis and were one of the most revolutionary brit-pop bands out there. Damon Albarn is a musical legend in his own right, which is why I don't know how people can't know the band. Even if they only know a few songs (and to be honest their most well known songs were played as their live performance, Parklife being one of them).

Anyway, topics to discuss:
Do you like/know Blur (if you're British and say no I really will lose all respect for you)? What are your favourite/least favourite songs? How did you rate their latest live performance or were you not bothered?
