    I thought the Spice Girls were the height of musical sophistication at the time, and thought Oasis and Blur were for old people...now, I see that they all suck.

    you should have made it a multiple choice poll, as i listened to both blur and supergrass, and still do :)

    In front of my mates i was Oasis all the way but at home late at night when no one was around i cracked open my boyzone and spice girl cd collection.

    Oh yes thats right "my name is sillyputty and i listened to the spice girls" wow it feels so much better to say it out loud.

    Great post. Liam Gallagher was a hero to our generation.
    Never Noel Gallagher was the hero. Liam was just a tosser that sang a few songs and shagged Patsy Kensit

    Blur and Supergrass were/are fantastic.

    Oasis are a remarkably overrated band. There is simply no logic as to why they became so popular.

    Looking back on blurs career, the album (13) - (released in 1999, the 1 with coffee & tv on it) was an absolute masterpiece album which I thought was crap at the time because of them changing their sound so much.

    But that's what they did differently to oasis, which makes them better musicians in my opinion. They experimented, and changed, successfully. Even the recent oasis stuff (dig out your soul) still sounds like the definitely maybe or what's the story morning glory albums.

    i didnt listen to any of them - i thought it was very silly the way people did.

    Oasis all the way. Super cool tunes and they're City fans. Magic.

    I do love Supergrass and Blur as well though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Blur by far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,816 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I am too old for the poll, -:o I always thought all those bands were crap.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭mardybumbum


    Stone Roses>Oasis>Blur


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 Anton Chigurh


    Listened to all three and still do, all very good bands and still are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer


    Oasis.

    I did listen to them all tbh, but oasis were the ones that stood out for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭tech77


    Suede.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Was never really my sort of music.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,816 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    When these bands were out, the best band to emerge from that era and still making excellent music , Porcupine Tree.:cool:
    They even wrote a song about Oasis, Three Chords That Made A Million.:D

    Blur as I found the lyrics to be intelligent, plus they still put out good records...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    The Smiths.

    Oasis, I guess, but it all seems so long ago.

    What the fuck were we thinking of?

    The Beatles.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Supertramp had some pretty good songs too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,144 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    Listened to all of them... but if I had to sit and listen to either Oasis or Blur for the next 2 hours, I'd probably pick blur... since oasis made some really terrible songs in their later years... around the time Liam decided he didn't need to sing properly anymore and could get by vomiting half-pronounced waffle into the mic, just as long as he looked the part.
    Or as mentioned, Pulp... so underrated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭pirelli


    Supergrass, I still intend to buy a cd sometime real soon.

    It was Blur for me at the time.



    I did quite like Oasis and Pulp too though.
    +1

    Listened to Supergrass too, though that Alright song is very very irritating! - Richard III and Moving ftw! I was listening to Pulp's Common People there only last week - it's still class!

    It was Blur at the time but looking back, Supergrass were better.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 698 ✭✭✭nitrogen


    Oasis' early material is far superior to Blur's debut work, and is still great to listen to. However Oasis' post-2000 work isn't even in the same league as Think Tank.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭truecrippler


    Super Tramp better than them all tbh.




    AC/DC TONIGHT!!!!!! YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    *may be drunk already*.
