Blur – Parklife

Although Blur had long been recognised as one of the premier bands responsible for the reinvigoration of Britpop in the 1990s, it is 1994’s Parklife that truly provided the template for the entire movement. At a time when Oasis were aping the sounds of their pub-rock heroes on Definitely Maybe, Blur drew from the legacy of the Kinks and Small Faces to create an album that’s as English as a rainy Sunday in front of the gas fire.

Parklife is full of songs that find joy in the mundane, like “Girls & Boys” (a song about working-class holidaymakers in the sun) and the title track “Parklife” (a day in the life of a cheeky, unemployed bench-sitter).

Witty, ironic and irreverent, Parklife remains one of those rare albums that sum up a specific place and time (Britain in the mid-1990s).
