Blur are far better than Oasis

[JAZZMANB]

Were.
Completely different bands really so never got the comparison bit

 

[Helmerroids]

Megadrive beats the shit out of a SNES too.

Beatles and Stones

 

[Arkle]

Blur for me. Oasis made one great album, another good one and then began the slide toward Gallagher war whereas Blur are/were consistently excellent.

This is the music thread version of Taybarns

There's certainly an element of that. It's like saying tomatoes are better than chicken livers. Both are foods but they're very different foods to each other.

I think it’s down to the market has been flooded.

i liked both bands but preferred oasis. I though oasis dropped off a little with their 4th album standing on the shoulder of giants, and blur went a totally different route. Then oasis clawed it all back again with the likes of stop crying your heart out, lyla, little by little and half the world away, type of song.

Oasis have been done to death, however it’s always the same stuff that gets played. The masterplan is an amazing album but gets little attention these days. SOTSOG has gas panic, which is also brilliant

Damon did a great job with gorillas though. And it’s fair to say he was more progressive.

Logon or register to see this image

but yes blur are much better alround

 

[Lukas73]

horses for courses.....but Blur for me, loved their first album.....didn't seem to take themselves to seriously either....unlike the monobrow twins...

 

[shadowplay]

Both much of a muchness really. Poundshop Beatles vs Poundshop Kinks.

 

[Bob Fleming]

Blur definitely better than Oasis. However, it's Oasis I tend to stick on when I've had a few drinks.

Tallies with your preference for lowest common denominator booze.

Is this a reference to me saying real ale is shite?

Thread title says it all really.

More creative and progressive. Blur’s sound evolved over the years whereas Oasis didn’t.

Oasis' sound didn't evolve?

They always maintained a healthy level of rock and roll but if you compare oasis last single with their first it's not on a similar wavelength at all not to mention some of the big shifts inbetween

Haway man. Neither 90s band sound owt like either 60s band.
Apart from The Importance Of Being Idle which is Oasis sounding like...The Kinks!

 

[Mackem Tommy]

Fuck sake first thing I thought of too.

WHA?!

 

[Born Never Asked]

Gorillaz are better than both Oasis and Blur.

 

[cluffy]

Blur annoyed me at the time but Chemical World, For Tomorrow and Beetlebum are three amazing perfectly beautiful pop rock tunes

Modern Life era Blur is very Kinksy & half of Oasis' songs sound like Revolver with a 90s fuzzbox.

Both got lumped under the Brit-pop banner and obviously were around at the same time.

 

[praha12]

Seen both, but Oasis smashed it live. Blur just seemed to go through the motions.

I agree, Blur were Better than Oasis.

Blur had one good song, "There's No Other Way".

Oasis didn't.
