Blur is often thought of as Oasis’ arch-enemy in the battle for Britpop supremacy, but there’s much more to their music than that. The four-piece outfit from London has crafted brilliant pop and rock, starting with the 1993 classic Modern Life Is Rubbish. Guitarist Graham Coxon is the most experimental and forward-looking voice in the band, blending edgy riffs with shoegazing ambiances.
