    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,007 ✭✭✭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. :p

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

    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

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭joejoem


    blur are more credible.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


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


  • Moderators, Regional North East Moderators Posts: 12,744 Mod ✭✭✭✭cournioni


    Stone Roses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    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:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,520 ✭✭✭axer


    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.

    Both Blur and Oasis only made one decent album each

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,794 ✭✭✭JC 2K3


    I kinda like Blur, but Oasis are just annoying.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 545 ✭✭✭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. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,362 ✭✭✭✭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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭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... :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭Tiffany


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭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...
