Blur are one of those bands who are very well known, yet not many people know as much by them as they should.

But I also would like to know... what bandwagon has Blur jumped on?

Shoe gazing music and manc scene was popular in 89-90 as early blur left middle class colleges and friends got them a deal and the record company liked the manc scene so made them record 'no other way' and dress all flowery. They did what they were told.
That is jumping on the bandwagon.
Secondly they put off the release of country house to get Oasis rivalry with roll with it (a waeker song off the album) to grow their own sales and make people aware of them.
Hence the still touted comparison.
That is hopping on two different musical bandwagons and riding them till they split and moving on.

When people knock Oasis remember that a bands explosion will always be biggest but they have some hits like I said with sunday morning call, let there be love, stop crying your heart out, stand by me etc.
Black Sabbath only ever did one song paranoid and made a career from it.
Oasis couldn't be expected to sing about the same things forever could they?
Bowie didn't, the stones make new albums and we never hear a single song from them as they tour with the oldies.

I Guess I must have imagined the 5 songs they played from their last album when I saw them.

Were they as good as satisfaction or gimme shelter?????
honestly........

Bob Dylan still makes the odd good tune but plenty of albums.

That is why I say accept a bands initial impact then accept the odd gem on each new album
The reason people often say about Oasis first two albums is because they had the biggest impact on UK music since the Beatles or Punk.

Who else knows the Stones making great songs still?
Be honest.
They make some odd gems for people who grew with them like Dylan and Clapton do.
But Oasis had such an impact that people expect too much.
Do you agree Urban?
What happened to Croquill?
Was he barred?

I don't expect anything from them , they've shown since about 1997 they're nothing more than a one trick pony.

Blur never considered themselves a shoe gaze band and where dubbed that by the NME because they came out at the right time and place. Also 'they dressed all flowery'? What the hell are you talking about? Also Blur have been around longer than Oasis. And they're was no need to 'get noticed' since their album Parklife was hugley succesful and won many awards such as best album at the Brit awards , so you can throw that entire idea into the trash. The second part of your post is just laughable.
