Another vote for 'To The End' but an honourable mention to 'Song 2' - any song that gets played that much would start to grate but it is still a work of genius, as is the video that goes with it.

Wondered if you were listening to Radio X as a couple of minutes before this post they were playing End of a Century.

Not an original choice, I appreciate, but I'll go for Tender, just for the lovely moments being part of the happy crowd drifting away from the Pyramid Stage in 2009 all singing it.

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] Not sure how long you've been listening to Radio X (XFM)?
But it's not the same, playing a lot less of the indie type music it was originally known for, more Global middle of the road choices.
You have to listen, mainly at night and the weekend to get that indie vibe back.

Favourite band in the world so absolutely no idea where to start. Chemical World maybe. Two of my favourite Blur moments, Damon singing Waterloo Sunset with Ray Davies and seeing them do a cover of My Sharona on Cleethorpes Pier. The Cleethorpes Pier gig was sensational, seeing them in the Brighton Centre was a massive let down. They're definitely a band who when they can't be bothered, you may as well go home after the first song.

What I would say though is there's a few 'fillers' on their albums.

Did anyone else see them play at the Paradox on West St? Happy days...
I'll go End of a Century. Or For Tomorrow. Or No Distance Left to Run. **** it, impossible choice

As with Oasis (Wonderwall/Don't Look Back in Anger/Crying Your Heart Out etc), you can tell who doesn't like music by the people who choose the abject moneymakers (Song 2/Girls and Boys/This is a Low etc)

You're dead right , only your "favourite Bucks Fizz" song could be lower :moo:

What rubbish Bucks Fizz had three UK number one singles, Blur could only manage two, therefore Bucks Fizz are far better,

Now then all together

It;s time....for making your mind up.......
