The Bands Of Britpop: Blur

The band Blur had the highly talented and shapeshifting Damon Albarn, who along with his bassist Alex James attained minor success with his indie songs before making it big with ‘Parklife’, a collection of witty and light pop songs. 

The band's music was a contrast to the grand-sounding Oasis, as the songs were mixed with irony and art school pop, making them sound experimental.
