Artistfacts:
| They are bitter rivals with Oasis. Both groups are huge in England, but had far less success in the US. |
| They were known as Seymour, but their record company refused to sign them until they changed it. They picked Blur from a list of names the record company gave them. |
| Blur contributed to a genre of English music called "Britpop," which was popular in the early '90s. Many of these bands were one-hit-wonders, like EMF and Jesus Jones. |
| Albarn used to go out with Justine Frischmann, who was in the band Suede, one of Blur's rivals. Frischmann went on to form Elastica. |
| Albarn created Gorillaz as a side project in 2001. The group released an album, but was seen only as cartoons. |
| When Coxon quit in 2002, the group continued as a trio. |

Comments:
| Del the Funky Homosapien IS is his formal alias... Deltron 3030 is a character based off of his name... and he also goes by Deltron Zero... notice how all of his solo he goes by Del the Funky Homosapien? - Dean, Indianapolis, IN |
| I can't wait for the new Blur record. Even without Graham, I still think Damon Albarn can pull off some decent guitar work on it. Not all great albums have featured amazing guitarists! - Smith, Manchester, NH |
| I know eh. Blur is an awesome band and Ive listened to them for like, ever Lol. Theyre great and theyve got to do some shows outside of England! - Mellissa, Wasaga Beach, Canada |
| Can't a seperate gorillaz entry be created, lets discuss Blur one of the best bands ever and certainly my favorite, after 7 brilliant but each distinctly different albums they are still going strong and have a loyal fan base. Though Graham has left to embark on what is proving to be a brilliant solo career and the other three are off doing this and that Damon, Alex and Dave have registered thier keeness to release another Blur album in the future. - dave, Eastbourne, England |
| Handsome Boy Modeling School is more like it ;-) - Jay, Geneva, Cheezland |
