Oasis or Blur?

OY

Following on from the Father Ted Legends board...

Oasis or Blur?

Basq

Oasis...

... always hated Blur based on songs like 'Country House', 'Parklife' and 'Girls And Boys'. Though they actually got some good tracks later during their time in the biz - 'Coffee And TV', 'Out Of Time' and 'Tender'

Still... nothing Blur ever released came close to matching the songs from 'Definantly Maybe' and 'What's The Story..'

Stick up a poll there with it!

EDIT: Sorry, poll wasn't there when i posted this!

Have the Spice Girls done away with the eternal Atari Jaguar?

Ive always preferred Blurs style of music, but Oasis have had a lot of very memorable tunes

Moriarty

Blur. All the way.

In a choice between southern shandy drinking **** and northern coal munching idiots, it's the shandy drinking **** every time.

I think it's a poll about their music not their egos.

I went for oasis as they are my favorite band but i like blur as well.

stagolee

blur definatley. fair enough they did some cack but they also did some really good tunes and they had enough musical ability to write a quite a few different types of music.
oasis on the other hand were a one trick pony and they knew it

--Kaiser--

Blur! I don't have anything against Oasis (they're funny baxtards), but I think they're kicked into the corner by Blur, they just write great pop songs and their album 13 is a masterpiece

joejoem

blur are more credible.

weemcd

blur simply for song 2 & there's no other way, prefer those two songs over anything from oasis.

Sarky

I can't choose. There should be a Blurasis option.

cournioni

Stone Roses.

I hated Oasis when they first came along, so had to like Blur. But how I'd much rather hear an Oasis song than a Blur one. Song 2 just reminds me of drunk boggers singing "wooOooHoooooOo" and jumping around the place. Or jumping on me! ..Guys you ain't impressing anyone!!

Some might say is one of my favorite songs, Dunno why! :cool:

all 3 are crap. How come there is no option to pick that?

That's the exact same image I have of that song. Used to drive me mental back in the day. That and Rock DJ have to be the two songs I hate the most.

blur......i mean oasis oasis oasis!!

Both Blur and Oasis only made one decent album each

Blur's Modern Life Is Rubbish beats Oasis' Definitely Maybe so....

JC 2K3

I kinda like Blur, but Oasis are just annoying.

OY

Wow... I am a little suprised that Blur are winning here. They are my choice but i just thought that there was more Oasis heads out there...!

Interesting.

Scarinae

Maybe Blur heads are just more likely statistically to use boards?
Also, who voted for the Spice Girls? Are they the Atari Jaguar of this poll?

Atlas_IRL

comeon Oasis are much better/have had much better songs..

Whats the story morning glory was one of the best albums ever made imo and regualry scores top 10 in all time album reviews ive read..

I thought that as i posted. Statistically are there more Blur heads online than Oasis heads?
And yes, the Spice girls are the Atari Jaguar of this poll...

Tiffany

I voted Spice Girls, and I'm being serious. *zig-a-zig-ah*

arbeitsscheuer

I love em both, but it's gotta be Oasis.

Come on, anyone whose B-sides album (The Masterplan) is actually as good if not better than their proper albums deserves serious respect.
Plus they are much better live than Blur, and I saw both at the peak of their success, in The Point in 94 and 95.

It's unfortunate that neither band aged well, although Oasis' fall from grace has been particularly depressing. Ah well. They gave us truly great music for a while there...

The Spice Girls were a disaster, ugh, I don't know what came over everyone that year!

Oasis and Blur are both 2 of my favourite bands but Oasis win all the way. Anyone who has listened to Oasis and Blur albums will tell you that Oasis have made the better albums and have so many anthems from 1994-1997. Blur are great (Parklife is the album to have) but apart from Parklife they have not made what I would call any other remotely classic albums. Oasis came out with Definitely Maybe which is the bible of 90's music and What's The Story Moring Glory is another classic. I will admit Blur are more inventive when it comes to their music (see Think Tank) but Oasis were the band of the 90's full stop. The only reason I think Blur are winning this poll is because there is an Oasis bashing scene that is going on at the moment. If its about the music Oasis win hands down. Lyla is fooking great and I hear their Don't Believe the Truth is their best album since Moring Glory.

Mad fer it 4ever!

Blur tbh. Liam Gallaghers voice irritates me.

Well, I would say that the self-titled album by Blur (In 1997 was it?) which contained the singles Beetlebum and Song2, along wit some other great songs, was as good quality as Parklife, if less cheery and a little bit of a departure from their chirpy-chappy Colchester-boys early stuff.

I also think that Blur have a better chance of recpaturing their early form than Oasis do - Look at the lineups:
Oasis have lost the original drummer Tony Carroll, Bassist Guigsy (can't remember his proper name sorry) and Rhythm Guitarist Bonehead (can't remember his proper name either). Might've even lost their subsequent drummer Alan White altho I'm not sure about that someone correct me. Replaced them with substandard former Verve boys I think, just not upt to Oasis quality. Compare that story of woe to Blur, who aside from Graham Coxon (who has enjoyed considerable solo success it must be sai), hav remained completely intact. Also, Albarn's form with the Gorillaz shows he can still do the business. Think Tank was a hodge-podge of "out-there" cr*p, but they won't make that mistake again.

I loved Definitely Maybe, What;s the Story(Morning Glory), Be Here Now, The Masterplan and the Unplugged Live Album. But since then Oasis have been tear-jerkingly abysmal. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants is one of the worst albums I ever heard, Heathen Chemistry was better but not worth buying, and, most recently, Lyla is a song that doesn't go anywhere, has no memorable hook, riff or chorus, and is also a rip-off of countless songs I've heard before.

Agreed, Noel Gallagher is a much better singer and far superior in all departments really - Singing, Songwriting, Guitar... Also, let's face it, Liam is a twat. Some songs could only have been sung by Liam's whiny voice tho - Cigarettes and Alcohol for example. But 90% of the songs are better with Noel doin the lead vocals.

But overall, purely for the sheer weight of music they produced (well, let's be honest here, the poll should b "who do you prefer, Noel Gallagher or Blur?" :rolleyes: He's the one who wrote practically everything Oasis did well), Oasis will be remembered as being far superior to Blur. But things can change...

Bungalow Bill

Lol, it was Blur that replaces Coxon with a substandard verve boy. Zane, i love your attitude

LadyJ

Can't we let Boyzone in on this?..............................

No?........................Ok,Oasis

super_furry

Blur by a mile. Oasis had one great album and one decent one. Aside from Leisure, everything Blur have released has been quality.

Right, so "What's the Story..." was a pile of ****e was it? Come on man, Oasis have produced more decent songs than Blur, and I really think that the people voting for Blur are kiddies.

Tobias Greeshman

Its Blur definately, Oasis are ok, but I dont think their sound has matured and changed as much as Blurs sound has. Plus trying to copy the beatles style is just not cool.

But Blur just wrote annoying English theme songsw (you know, Vindaloo style stag party fodder). Oasis had some genuine great songs. Don't look back in anger? Even Wonderwall?

Girls who like boys blah blah blah, blah blah blah... hardly ground breaking stuff. Their later stuff was better though (still not on a par with Oasis though).

BolBill

I like both Blur and Oasis but when it comes to quality and quantity, Blur win hands down. The problem with Oasis is that they rely totally on Noel, Liams song are shiiiiite. At least Blur had Coxon and Albern to write the tunes.
Dont mention the Spice girls. What are the bets they reform soon? Look at their solo careers, all but over.

irlirishkev

I voted Blur. Back in the day of the original Blur V Oasis in the charts, I would have said Oasis, but I got bored with them after Morning Glory. Same old kak these days with different members. And I'm sorry, but Andy Bell is wasted playing Bass for Oasis.

Blur on the other hand, have progressed niceley. They've made 2 of the best concept albums of the past decade (Modern Life, and Parklife), and their music varies and grows with each album. Unlike Oasis, who constantly blatantly rip off music from better times, Blur tipped their hat briefly to bands like The Kinks, The Small Faces, and swiftly moved on..

Blur win it hands down for me, but I still like Oasis' music occasionally.
There should have been an option to choose The Charlatans IMO.. far superior to both..

Kevin.

Board@Work

I voted Oasis..

Granted their recent stuff really isn't up to scratch but blur for all their good songs have never released an album which is a patch of definately maybe. IMO the best album of the last 20 years..

Oasis easily. Blur write songs but Oasis write anthems. Liam can be a gobsh1te but you have to judge them by their songs. Noel Gallagher is a funking genius!

blondie83

I like Blur, but Oasis have to win hands down, if only for "Don't look back in anger" - amazing song :cool:

Concur. F**king legend. "Talk Tonight", "Masterplan", "Half A World Away", "Stay Young". All B-Sides. All absolutely, positively, incontrovertibly F**king BRILLIANT.

I'm tired of this now. Why do ppl have such terrible taste?

Oh, and to an earlier poster; Mel C's solo album "Northern Star" was alrite. I liked it. She has potential to be better anyway, the rest of them were just tw@ts.

Fair enough - but in my defence I was going out with a girl who bought it, so I listened to it, and to my surprise was quite impressed.

I can't stand people who judge an artist without even bothering to listen to any of their stuff. Avoid it, fine - But don't moan about people like me when you haven't heard the stuff in the first place!
