why do we have to choose? i mean, of course, nobody makes us do it...still, i like both Blur and Oasis :D

They both kinda suck me balls<-that's what i think but if i had to choose it would be Blur.

i think theyre both really good but oasis are just that much better and are still writing great albums (just ignore the fact that they're all idiots to each other)

Blur is infamous in my mind.
And so I'm gonn ahve to go with him. Although I hardly associate Blur with Oasis.
I can't think of Blur without thinking of Beck though for some reason. I don't know why. Maybe it's the similarity in the names. Who knows.

But think it's pretty hard for me to say because i like a lot of Oasis songs but i've been listening to Blur longer than I've bene listening to Oasis. It's kinda baised for me to go with either or.
I honestly don't konw.
Now if you said do i like Oasis more than OurLady peace I'd go with Oasis in a heartbeat.

Peace out.

I would say Blur, and while i do like Oasis, i would just say that Blur are just a far more sophisticated band.

Blur - mockney art-school half-wits made for Mondeo man. Dull c*nts.
Oasis - 5 monkeys, 5 brain-cells, 1 Beatles chordbook. Thick c*nts.

Britpop was a still-born genre IMO.

Radiohead , Auteurs , PJ Harvey ?

Love Radiohead and Peej's a godess... I wouldn't call them Britpop tho'... they always seemed apart from that flag-waving culture.

Oasis.

I'm too young to remember the big "battle" between Blur and Oasis, I've only really started to listen to Oasis in the last few years and I think they have stood the test of time a lot better than Blur have done.

Noel is a champ and Liam is err....different but I like them. Brits take everything too seriously.

Live forever is a good documentary to watch if you are into the whole brit pop thing.

i agree (whoop, we agree on two things), you have the quintessential brit pop of blur, suede, oasis, pulp, dodgy, the bluetones etc but then we have the likes of radiohead and PJ who are on a slightly more levitated playing field due to their obvious superiority in terms of musical talent. yet i still love the brit-pop genre. the stone roses started it all off for me.

Depends how you define Britpop.

At the start around 1992 or so the term was coined do describe people like PJ Harvey , The Auteurs & Suede as a new British movement of bands.

It didn`t actually become a 'sound' until a couple of years later when you had the likes of Elastica , Sleeper , Menswear , Shed 7 ect ect ect all trying to rip off Wire albums

my vote's on blur....n er...hi.

blur or oasis?
 

dude come on.. that was SO 90's man!

They're both great , but Blur were better IMO. Most of Oasis' music get boring really fast, as their songs pretty much all sound alike.

Blur's band members weren't *******s in the tabloids either, and that help a lot if you're gonna like them.

I have to go with Blur. Damon wrote better lyrics and theyre music was much more diverse where as Oasis's music all starts to blend after the first 2 albums.

blur

I grew up with both and they were both fantastic 60's throwbacks; however Oasis appeared in an exciting time for music, ignored that totally and appealed to the British public as the reactionary, comfort-loving, settle-for-average drunks that they predominantly are.

oh and in case there's any doubt as to who comes out on top:

for once I agree with a lot of people on here. Blur was amazing. I could never get really into Oasis as they sounded like the wannabe Beatles, whereas Blur was something unique and amazing the whole time.

Oh god I love Oasis to death so this is pretty biased.

blur.
damon is a ****ing genius.
gorillaz, good bad queen, blur.
its all amazing.

I think they're both pretty goddamn awful. Blur is marginally less annoying but they're far from decent.

Blur all the way,

I love Song 2 so much...

take it back.
now.
well, go ahead and hate oasis.

Damon Albarn was in The Good, The Bad, And The Queen? Whoa, looks like I enjoy him a lot more than I thought. I knew Paul Simonon was in it (formerly of The Clash) and Simon Tong (of The Verve). Sick.

Eh, I was never a huge Britpop fan, but there was a time when I was infatuated with Oasis. I suppose they win by default...

erm, damon was lead vocals and organized the whole thing.

Oasis ftw
 

Oasis's first 3 albums were amazing rock albums imo, but after that a lot of people lost interest. I still think a good deal of their later stuff is pretty sound its just a lot different then what they first put out. The MTV unplugged set they did (minus liam) was pretty killer

Blur are more talented but Oasis know how to connect with the people. However, Oasis have no idea how to do progress musically at all. From their first album all they have done is fall further down the musical genius ladder.

Blur had the balls to realise they were out of touch with what they were doing and needed to improve, plus, yknow, Damon Albarn went on to form Gorillaz and The Good The Bad and The Queen and is creating an opera. Noel Gallagher went on to bumming Paul Weller and Liam Gallagher went on to becoming an impersonation of Liam Gallagher

Funniest thing I have heard on here in a while! About time too!

I just got 13, and I'm really enjoying it, also the music video for Coffee & TV is probably one of the best ever. Who doesnt like a carton of milk that goes on an adventure? Graham really shines on this one showing that he too can write great lyrics.Most Oasis vid's just show off Noel and Liam's unibrow. If they made a vid about Liam's unibrow going on a adventure to find Noel then maybe it could compete with this one, but sadly i don't think that will happen.

I personally didn't enjoy 13 all that much, I felt it was a bit too self indulgent and messy. They were sort of over shooting the mark with the whole new 'experimental' approach. However, the album they made before that, the self titled one, was brilliant. And even though many people hate it and just call it a Damon Albarn solo project, which it mostly was, 'Think Tank' is my favourite Blur album out of the lot.

And then you've got Oasis, who made Definitely, Maybe... and then released a bunch of albums that each had a few good songs that were all made with the primary intention of being able to sing the songs in a dingey pub.

Blur, Damon Albarn is a bloody genious

Blur are only compared to Oasis due to small marketing ploy in 95.
That is all.
Oasis are a far better band I reckon.

Oasis have a few classic songs, but Blur have a few classic albums. By far the better band.

Because I'm a loser and haven't heard of Blur, Oasis wins by default.

Quick Question, what the hell is wrong with you? You've never heard of Blur? Get the album Parklife it's a good place to start. In the meantime enjoy these

Song 2 (im sure youve heard this before)


Girls and Boys


For Tomorrow

Now your change your anwser :thumb:

Ugh! I don't know! I'm working on it, alright?!

Edit: Oh, ****! I totally spaced who they were. I've heard all of the above. But, I'm still going to stick with Oasis. :)

I'm going to agree with wolverine on this one :thumb: I am pretty sure I have heard blur's music but... meh oasis I can listen to for hours on end...

And I used to think you were cool. :(

Anyway can someone make a poll for this?

I can't stand either one.
They both pierce the armor of my indie rock façade.

So you like them both then?
