What bandwagon did Blur jump on?

They came at a time and place you say?
so instead of doing what they wanted to do they did what was best for that time and place you say?
Isn't that jumping bandwagon my sweet foe?
What is laughable about the second half?
Explain if you can.
How come people don't say "oh Blur's albums are full of hits throughout?"
Are they?
No bands albums are but Oasis's first two were so people expected it from them unlike Blur.
I have noticed that people call me laughable etc but noone I have shown these threads thinks I am wrong but wants to know what your arguements are rather then taking the piss ad then skirting around the topic.

1.I didn't say any of that, but that doesnt matter because, they did do what they wanted. How is coming out at the right place and right time jumping on the bandwagon?
2.Because Black Sabbath made a career out of creating Heavy Metal, and doing something new and original. As for the Bowie and Stones thing, because people want to hear the classics, and they have a lot being around for that long.
3.Blur's albums are full of hits, just none that made it big in America because they were more of an English taste then Oasis was. Blur is a way better band then Oasis because all their albums are good, and sound different. They evolved out of britpop. Also they don't sound the exact same as they did in the early 90's like Oasis does.

Alex James said they didn't want to do it but the RC wnated it so they did it.
No other way I mean.
Bowie and and the stones classics come from stones sixties early seventies and it is now 2008 same for bowie's old favourites. The odd old gem but then most of it old man rock which is what they are.
Black Sabbath did not create heavy metal at all.
And most people only know paranoid that is why any time they show a clip on tele it is paranoid they show.
Some people dislike Oasis because of their attitude and there is a backlash from those who dislike those types.

I'm done with this dumb argugment. This is all beside the point that Blur are a better band than Oasis.

Default Bandwagon? really?
I really, truly, completely love Blur.

As for jumping on the bandwagon... well, even if they did, it seems like they hopped on, rode it to the top, and jumped off saying, "We'll go our own way from here." To be honest, though, I always thought Parklife was way too diverse to be considered any single genre, especially Shoegaze. That's what I've always loved about them.

On the sacking of Tony McCarroll...

The Gallaghers, on the other hand, doubted McCarroll’s musical ability, with Noel saying: “I like Tony as a geezer but he wouldn't have been able to drum the new songs”.

...what new songs?

The more i listen to blur, the more I'm liking them
Oasis, well, they were the first 'Britpop' band i listened to. Not goona support or go against them. Kinda annoying to listen to them now though.

Blur it is!
