One thing about Blur is: you know where the fucking hits are. All the big ones are the best ones, more or less. It's a handy formula. I had those 3 in my short list. You’re right about the big hits being the best, which makes it fairly easy for them to construct a rock solid set list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'm not going to attempt it, but would a top 10 list of Damon penned songs have anything non-Blur/Gorillaz in it? Mali Music has some good stuff on it, I'm not sure TGTBATQ have anything that would cut it. And I'm not keen on his only official solo album. Have I missed anything obvious?

Tuna Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'd like to repeat my claim that Caramel - Trimm Trabb - No Distance Left to Run is the greatest 3-song-album-closing-run ever (no, Optigan 1 does not count, it's an extended outro to NDLTR cheers) Astonishingly good. Having not been in 09 I would absolutely love a Blur set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I’m not committing it to my top ten without due consideration, Ribbons would be very close. It’s gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
