Was Straight to hell not a single? That one’s slipped into popular culture enough to have heard it I guess (probably cus the sample in “Paper Planes” was so unavoidable back when that was a hit).

Half the songs you mentioned are just on the regular album. Pop Scene, Cows, and Peach are on the bonus tracks though (plus like 12 other non-album tracks and some alt-versions). But overall Blur’s B-sides were pretty good. you could definitely construct superior versions of each album by swapping out the weaker album tracks with the best B-sides.
There are also the Andy Partridge versions of MLIR which are worth hearing, but those were saved for a fancy boxset and arent on the standard bonus tracks (just look ‘em up on youtube).

You know what annoys the heck out of me about Blur? The fact that I know so many people who love Gorillaz and play their music all the time (there are probably like 10 or more Gorillaz songs in my co-workers playlists they put on at work) yet it doesnt matter how many times I say “hey you should listen to Blur, it’s the same guy” they never ever do.

I havent heard every Zappa album, though one day I’ll probably fill in the gaps im missing, but yeah i agree, while his best stuff is transcendant much of the 2nd tier stuff all kinda blurs together. I probably owe myself to explore his various archival live releases and things since hearing his awesome bands do their thing (without Zappa editing the shit out of them like he did for most of the live albums he put out while he was still alive) is probably more gratifying than a lot of his studio stuff.
