ABSOLUTE SONG COMMENTS…
Huw Williams in Holyhead on Song 2;
Its a turn the radio up, jump around, 2 minutes and 2 seconds of music genius.
Phil Irvine in Bath on Song 2;
They’ve probably had better lyrics, better music or production on other songs…but none that is quite so uplifting or will go down better at a party. Legends!!!
Diane Gill in Sunbury on Parklife;
Its a feel good tune, i know it back to front all the words, and since i’m from essex, it takes me back to my roots. I just love it!
Ruth Anne French in Eltham on Tender;
It’s just really uplifting and original
Charlie Richardson in Twickenham on Charmless Man;
First song I heard by blur, still sounds amazing.
Maxine Bolton in Cambridge on The Universal;
A proper song not so comedy cockney chappie like some of the others
Annette Page in Plumstead on Girls & Boys;
It reminds me of dancing round the kitchen with my sister in the mid nineties, i love the line Following the herd down to Greece – on holiday!
John Cavanagh in Romford on Beetlebum;
Love to hear my children singing it on rock band
Tom Inniss in Ipswich on Beetlebum;
I heard it a week after my dog was put down and the track just made me feel better.
Tim George in Chesham on For Tomorrow;
A really underappreciated Blur track, I just love the whole feel of the song. The extended chorus at the end is amazing.
Emma Morton in Watford on There’s No Other Way;
catchy tune that reminds me of being in my early twenties, going to the pub and having fun…
Jack Smith on This Is A Low;
No matter how bad I’m feeling, this absolute gem of a track will always put a smile straight back on my face. This Is A Low and I have been through a lot together! Also, no matter what anyone says, this is one of the greatest guitar solos I have ever heard.
Deborah Wise in Southwest London on Blue Jeans;
Blue Jeans was the music to our wedding when I came down the aisle. We’re both 32 and we got together when we were 15. ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ was a big soundtrack to our lives at the time our love was blossoming and Blue Jeans holds a very dear, nostalgic place.
Judi Gaviraghi on End Of A Century;
Dreamy, I love the background music so sophisticated.
Ben O Connor on End Of A Century;
It brings back rose-tinted memories of long hot summers, Loaded magazine, Adidas Gazelles and This Life on the telly.
Lynn Graham in Redhill on To The End;
It was our first dance when we got married!! Aaahhh!
Allan Sullivan in Whitstable on She’s So High;
As it reminds me of a girl I liked all those years ago, who I thought was out of my league – she’s now my wife but I still think she’s too good for me.
Steve Dighton in Peterborough on Coffee and TV;
The bassline and drums just keep on going!! When I first heard it years ago it was and still is fantastic. The cheeky milk carton video was innovative with a sad twist at the end.
