    I was more Oasis back in the day but they've aged badly imho. Blur have a lot of shíte, (country house is fúcking woeful) but I'd still listen to their gems now.

    TLDR; Blur

    I was a huuuuge Oasis fan back in the day. Be here now was the last of their good stuff (bar a very small handful of songs later on).

    Now, however, I massively appreciate some of the music Blur have made. One of my mates even told me he'd never expect to hear me saying that.

    I was also a massive Catatonia fan (probably biggest in Ireland I'd say!). Listening back now, alot of their stuff wasn't great, but the persuasive nature of being a teenager, obviously tainted my admiration for them back then.

    (The real answer is to the OP is Suede anyway)

    The Oasis list would be far more widely known. Not a fan of either band but know each of Oasis tracks listed but only a few of the Blur ones.

    For me, it was Sleeper all day long.

    I like both but think Suede is better.

    Suede??
    They were mainly a great marketing trick.
    They were hyped up cleverly before they even released any music.

    '1992 cover of Melody Maker proclaimed them the ‘Best New Band in Britain’ before they had officially released any music.'


    It was well done though.

    Looking at their whole careers - Blur, much more consistent and better albums.

    But Oasis had better B-Sides. The 1994-1998 era is full of gems.

    It is kind of like a Mardona v Ronaldo (Portuguese) argument.

    Mardona was the short really bright flash and burnt out fast = Oasis

    Ronaldo long career it is almost assumed the goods will be produced - changed style over time could vary thier play = Blur

    I can remember how Blur used to have this internal struggle amongst the band between guitar based songs, pop type songs, and electronic based songs.
    They could also do Paul Weller-ish type songs.
    So on reflection there was a bit of everything from Blur - depending on your taste.

    Not sure if Oasis have stood the test of time.
    If they made a comeback they would sell out for weeks but I think the crowd would be made up of a lot of Garth Brookes/c/w fans,not exactly rock and roll is it?

    There was a good programme about Oasis on TG4, which implied that they were influenced by Irish style 'sing along' ballad type music.
    So I suppose you could be onto something with the Garth Brookes crowd.

    Suede were, and still are, an excellent band. And they are still coming up with excellent albums. And great band live. Different style music than Blur, Oasis, Pulp etc. Unfair to compare them.

    Radiohead were in their own class. You wouldn't even think to compare.

    I'd say it annoyed Blur to be associated with Oasis and Oasis just played on it more with the media and hype of it. I think they are both good and very different bands.

    True, you wouldn't. Both are exponentially superior to anything that dribbling mess of a Thom Yorke was in. They were just noise.
