And if you haven’t, you’ve almost definitely heard his most famous song, You’re Beautiful. There was a time in the early 2000s that it was EVERYWHERE.

Mit diesem Entschluss haben Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Dave Rowntree und Alex James die richtige Entscheidung getroffen. Mit ihrem Album "Parklife" hatte sich die Band dann 1994 nicht nur selbst musikalisch weiterentwickelt, sondern sie haben auch sowas wie den Grundstein des Britpop gelegt. Ich glaube, Blur liefern mit diesem Album die perfekte, und zwar umfassende Blaupause für die Ära und den Begriff des Britpop.
