Synopsis

The thinking person's Oasis (though they would probably hate the mention of that archrival Brit-pop band), Blur have had arguably the most illustrious and critically acclaimed rock career of 1990's England. Heartthrob vocalist/keyboard player Damon Albarn, bespectacled guitarist Graham Coxon, drummer Dave Rowntree, and bassist Alex James have a highly successful songwriting relationship that has produced dozens of diverse and perfectly crafted pop songs. The growth and maturity of their songs has followed a path that loosely resembles that of the Beatles -- from concise and catchy pop songs to more sophisticated, innovative experiments which involve other genres. THE BEST OF BLUR runs through the first ten years of the band's lauded career and includes all of the music videos that they released up to that point, starting with "She's So High."

4.0 out of 5 stars The visual companion to Blur's music, 20 April 2004
By A Customer
If you're looking at this, Blur should need no introduction. This istheir collection of promo videos for all (or at least most) of their bestloved hits. Each video compliments the song, in particular Damon's acerbicsocial commentary lyrics, and most add another dimension all together. Thehighlights are many, with 'Parklife', 'Popscene', the Orwellian 'TheUniversal' and the madcap 'Country House' (that must have been the mostfun had when making a video ever!) my personal favourites.
You also get various stats concerning each clip, and a preview facility toenable a quick scan through each clip to find the one you're looking for.However, a bit more value could have been added to this DVD with theinclusion of some extra material, such as live footage, and a decent (orindeed any) booklet. But it's the promo videos that we're really after,and this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its got it all, 14 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Blur - The Best Of [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
This is the one all the fans have been waiting for. After the release of the singles box set it seemed only fair that they should release the videos for the singles aswell. This video begins with Blur as the 'baggy trousers, floppy fringes' image seen in Theres No Other Way and goes right through to them as they are now although Music Is My Radar was left off the recording. A must have for all major Blur followers (including myself).

5.0 out of 5 stars A great trip down memory lane, 14 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Blur - The Best Of [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
This is a great video, which emphasises just how much 'Blur' have progressed as artists in the past decade. Early hits such as 'She's so High' and 'Sunday Sunday' provide an introduction to Blur's unique sound and individualism - and are accompanied by very entertaining videos! - whilst the more recent songs 'Tender' and 'Beetlebum' are great examples of how much Blur have matured musically since they began. The video captures a variety of moods - of joy and sadness - and the last single 'No Distance Left to Run' is accompanied by an unforgettable video of the boys sleeping! Well worth buying, not only for big Blur fans but for anyone who truly appreciates great pop music, and great entertainment!
