Blur

Участники BLUR выбрали топ-3 своих самых любимых альбомов.

Damon Albarn

Bobby Womack: The Poet
"I could have chosen three or four of Bobby's. Records that kill me every time. Along with Tony Allen, he's one of the biggest inspirations of my musical life."

William Onyeabor: World Psychedelic Classics 5: Who is William Onyeabor?
"The more I learn about this man, the more of an enigma he becomes, but I can't think of a more joyous thing than 'Fantastic Man'."

David Bowie: Low
"The sound of David and Brian absorbing punk then taking it to Berlin to produce a futuristic record, right on the frontline of the Cold War."

Alex James

William Orbit: Strange Cargo
"The first track, 'Water from a Vine Leaf' reminds me of travelling to New York to find Claire a few weeks after we'd first met. I listened to it all the way. Always a great way to start a DJ set."

Chic: C'est Chic
"The record that made me want to play the bass. And dance. And go to New York."

Ellie Goulding: Halcyon Days
"Love her songs. She's the real deal in a world of bogus pop pretenders."

Dave Rowntree

Moderat: Moderat
"The band's first album. Understated and in parts beautiful - 'Rusty Nails' in particular."

Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left
"The last great album of the 60's. So good, it's a cliche to say so."

Radiohead: OK Computer
"Hard to pick which Radiohead album is the best, as they're all like old friends."

Graham Coxon

The Kinks : Village Green Preservation Society
"This band are so good I can't pick just one."

Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn
"Nursery rhyme darkness and cosmic journeying in an accent from just up the road!"

Depeche Mode: Speak and Spell
"Some of the best bubble gum pop ever created and not a guitar in sight! Genius."

These are just a handful of each of their top picks. For the full list of their 50 favourite records, visit iTunes.
