something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

Parklife by Blur, released on this date twenty years ago.

I am one of those who feel that this album represents the artistic pinnacle of Britpop -- exquisitely well-crafted musically (i.e., crammed full of great songs), and lyrically an accomplished love letter to and examination of contemporary British society. All the things that made Britpop

Yesssss. One of my favorite albums, from start to finish!

I knew you would be on board for this one!

And regarding your comment about the artistry of Britpop: I agree with you on "This is a Low", and would also throw "The Universal" into the ring.
