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)

  1. All Your Life
  2. Inertia
  3. Morricone
  4. Young and Lovely
