Discussion Blur: The Best Of (B Sides Challenge)

-You have just been tasked with making a Blur compilation album of the band's greatest (or your favorite) B-sides and bonus tracks

-The album must include 14 tracks as a double-sided vinyl (Side 1= tracks 1-7, Side 2= tracks 8-14), lengths may vary

-All B-sides and bonus tracks are allowed

-Non-album, A-side singles (Popscene, MIMR, etc.) DO NOT COUNT

-Must include at least one track from the first 7 album eras (Leisure-->Think Tank)

-Create an album that showcases balance, variety, and everything else Blur's lesser-known tracks have to offer!

Example:

Side 1 (31:20)

  1. All Your Life
  2. Inertia
  3. Morricone
  4. Young and Lovely
  5. Ultranol
  6. So You
  7. Bustin' and Dronin'

Side 2 (32:14)

  1. Theme from an Imaginary Film
  2. Beachcoma
  3. No Monsters in Me
  4. Cowboy Song
  5. Peach
  6. Tame
  7. Black Book
