So, I came to put another nail in Blur's coffin but you snooze you lose in this game and we're already onto the next round! Very much hitting my era now, I was in junior school (sorry to those of you of a certain vintage!) and there's lots of nostalgia here. Plenty of fond memories, but plenty of dross, and a fair few I swear I've never heard of before.
