Blur or Oasis (pop, genre, albums, beatles, Radiohead)

Difficult to chose between the 2.

Oasis used to be a great singles band but I think Blur wrote better albums & were generally more multi-faceted in terms of direction & diversity.
However I think losing Graham Coxon was the worst that could happen to Blur as he pretty much gave them their sound from 1997 onwards, Think Tank was a horrible album & made me wish he was still in the band.
On the other hand , Noel Gallagher seems a really sound guy & Damon Albarn comes across as an arrogant idiot.

I`d say Blur just shades it.

Seriously what is your problem?

I`ve done loads of non negative posts yet nobody seems to focus on those.

lets face it, hes only expressing his opinions when he writes these threads, ans we're all entitled to them. to comment on everything he writes is a bit petty. anyway, its quite fun and refreshing debating with him half the time.

I was brought up around Oasis too, and I'd definatly say Oasis is better band. The only Blur song I like is Parklife, cause it's funny.

song 2? country house? i think graham coxon is more talented then every oasis member put together. without coxon they'd be pretty average, with coxon they edge out oasis in my opinion.

You`re never gonna convince me Blur are better than Oasis by giving examples of songs from The Great Escape.

Luckily i`ve heard Modern Life Is Rubbish.

those two songs are great Britpop tunes which; in essence, is what Blur are/were. Song 2 has to be one of the best songs of the last decade in terms of anthemic value and country house is a great sing-along. i like their older stuff too (not think tank, that album offends me). im not saying i dont like oasis. maybe definatly and whats the the story morning glory are two of the best albums of the 90s..i just prefer blur.

Okay, did you really need to quote by post when saying that? haha. Anyway, Song 2 is a lot of rubbish and is only liked my bands who have nothing to practise with, so they go with the easiest piece of crap they can think of.
