Can we settle this once and for all?

Oasis or Blur?

Blur were musically and lyrically better. I'd rather listen to Oasis on a long car journey though.

House or garage ??



Oasis all the way though

I'd be the same! I recognise that Blur were musically better but I'd probably choose to listen to Oasis over them in a lot of circumstances

pleas advice

Daft Punk, Homework or Discovery?

I wouldn't class myself as a fan of either, but as a neutral in the battle, Oasis have far more good songs.

Simple as that.

I would know maybe 20 Oasis songs to sing along to if they came on the radio, whereas it might be 5 at most of Blur.

I remember buying Morning Glory to see what the fuss was about. The musical equivalent of wallpaper - just bland and immediately forgettable. Blur's middle-class, mockney rubbish was no better.

Noel Gallagher is an excellent interviewee though, a witty fella. So, Oasis I suppose....

Suede were better than both of them by some distance before the guitarist quit.

Homework every day of the week.

Neither.

Currently listening to otis redding. excellent.

Back in the day it was oasis all the way... Now it's blur. I've changed...

I was rabidly pro Blur at the time. Now though, I love them both.

I would say both groups were as equally upset as each other at being thought off as being so similar that this question was asked!?

It's kinda like asking MADNESS or THE JAM?
Tho both of them were brilliant anyway :P

Oasis were beyond boring. Paint drying on the wall. Ugh. Blur were ok? One or two somewhat fun songs, but nothing special.

Mint Sauce

Suede. Most under rated band of the 90s.

Agricola

Oasis for me. Blur did a few catchy ditties but they were a bunch of middle class home counties english boys making a lot of lighthearted tunes about the vagaries of life from the point of view of a university student who's going to get a job at his Dad's bank even if he drops out of his Art's degree.

The Gallagher's are a couple of Irish scruffs. Immigrant kids, dragged up, singing about having no arse in your trousers and still having a blast. That used to be very Irish. Once upon a time.

Fanny Wank

Blur for me.

Some people will agree, others will disagree. It comes down to taste so nobody is "wrong" as such

Biscuit or cake?

Riddle101

Oasis for me.

Oasis were a miserable bunch, Blur were more chilled out, but for me the best BritPop band of that time were Pulp

Church on Tuesday

Both were massively overrated bands IMO.

I mean Oasis basically ripped off The Beatles.

Homework 365 days of the year.

For me, Homework & Leftfield’s Leftism are 2 of the most defining moments in the history of electronic music.

Absolute sonic perfection. And still as good today as the day they were released.



Meanwhile today’s generation has David Guetta.

So much for the choooooooone "only music thread allowed in afterhours"....

Pulp were incredible, but they were about since 77 or 78, well before britpop.

Look at the mad looking head on Liam Gallagher. He looks like some sort of escaped 1960's sex deviant/perv who's travelled forward in time.

There really is no comparison. Oasis were a rock band, Blur weren't. Oasis were incredible live. Listen to the live album Familiar to Millions. Noel Gallagher is a huge talent & a wonderful writer. The Beatles clone criticism is stupid - the Beatles were only a rock band in their early days.

Noel's new album Who Built the Moon is remarkable & will be seen as a great album in the future.

Speed or E's?

Nickleback ruined both the bands careers. Far superior.

I agree. Saw Noel live last month and he's great.

Oasis ripped off a heap of songs. That taints them in my book.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants alone is an extremely turgid pile of muck of an album.

It started off promisingly with Fcuking in the Bushes, but ended up a big disappointment - the first and last time I bothered to get an album on release date.

Was always partial to bit of Blur and never really had much time for Oasis

But the more serious question is: Chemical Brothers or The Prodigy?

buried

Blur.

Aphex Twin's 'Blur' that is

Shangela or Ben De la?

And some of the new tracks are a bugger to play live - even with a French Bird playing the scissors

Then that taints thousands of bands. The Beatles, Stones, The Who, Kinks etc all ripped of early bluesmen. Music has reached the point where you can find something almost identical if you are willing to search hard enough
