Blur:The Best Of [2000]

It’s Blur so it’s perfect!

I do not know of any band who have the ability to appear so cool and sexy in every music video they have made. Every vid is an artistic triumph. Especially recommended are Beetlebum, Popscene (a comparatively rare but vital track), and Charmless Man.These are the visuals to a soundtrack of the nineties by one of its most important, interesting and intelligent bands. In that capacity its essential for any Pop/Rock fan.

Great collection of Blur's videos. They are of their time, but still great to own.

Good music but its the 90's quality video recording, not a lot can be done about that - but still recommended to put on your dvd and get the greatest hits playing out.

Good collectors item

very good

This DVD is the perfect visual companion to the Blur: The Best Of CD, and includes the official music videos to no less than 22 of their songs. With all of Blur's major hits spanning 1990-2000 included, it provides excellent value, not just for fans of the lads, but also to people who are fascinated by the '90s Britpop scene in general.Most of these videos really are fascinating, ranging from the cool, the funny, the down-right trippy, to the genuinely artistic (especially the little gem 'The Universal'), and each of them perfectly complement the songs. My favourite has got to be the stylish promo for 'For Tomorrow', filmed in classic black and white, and portraying a very cool portrait of London. This is possibly followed by the hilarious 'Charmless Man', where our Damon Albarn really proves himself to something of a comedic genius.For me, Blur were 'the' band of the '90s, so this comprehensive DVD was always going to merit five stars. It would be rather silly though, and more than just a little biased would it not, If I were to to say that all these videos are five-star great? Of course some are better than others, and a few of them you might even decide to skip over a second time, but on a whole I think that once you watch (in addition to the aforementioned) 'Coffee and TV' (which won music video of the year), 'Beetlebum', and the very cheap, hilariously naff, but very '90s, Benny Hill-isque 'Country House', I think you, and most other people will find that you've stumbled across a winner.The DVD contains no special features, or indeed a comprehensive booklet (personally, I'd have been interested to have read the band's own personal memories and opinions of each of these mini films), but for what it is, which is a lot of fun and nostalgia - it doesn't really need anything else. 'Blur: The Best Of' will always be there on my top shelve, and it's a must for all Blur fans the world over!

Good.
