Blur vs Oasis

[MK Shrimper]

Simple...no "Bart" or biscuits options.

Northern monkeys or southern softies?

If you had asked me then, I'd have gone for Oasis, no question. But I've grown up now. Blur. Comfortably.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Definitely Maybe/Morning Glory are stone cold classics - have to agree that the rest of their output was patchy to say the least.

Blur did some great tunes, however I never got into their albums (bar Modern Life...) as much. I just can't vote against Oasis!

 

[Lord Football]

Pulp....................

It was always Blur. Having said that, and I know this is a strange thing for a Southend fan to say but why set the bar so low? It was always more Bucks Fizz vs Black Lace than Beatles v Stones in reality. Oasis weren't even a decent pub band once they started shedding original members and David Cameron would look more convincing than Blur in a Harrington. As for Pulp...one good single. This is all making the 90's look like a horror show.

Ok, it wasn't the original question but **** it. Suede were better than all of them.

Suede were ****ing ****.

I did like Metal Mickey though.

 

[Mad Cyril]

The very best Oasis songs were better than the very best Blur songs.

The thing is there aren't many very good Oasis songs.

 

[Tommy's Mooney]

Oasis had better singles, Blur had better albums

Disagree

I did too, but there are four or five better songs on the debut album alone.

 

[Pubey]

Pulp. .........

[MK Shrimper]

Manic Street Preachers if we're doing that. And possibly The Verve.

 

[Benfleet A1]

James............

 

[MK Shrimper]

Battle of the 1990s "Britpop" (so no Nirvana) bands/albums anyone?

 

[davewebbsbrain]

So many Britpop bands in the 90's to choose from. I do like a bit of Ash or Sleeper as well as The Divine Comedy and a bit of Bis and Mansun

 

[MK Shrimper]

Bis? Really :stunned:

 

[davewebbsbrain]

We need a non britpop thread. So many forgotten bands, like Presidents of America and Smashmouth. Has got me reminiscing now

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Bis? Really :stunned:

Hell yeah and maybe not so britpop but TMBG

 

[Mad Cyril]

Manic Street Preachers if we're doing that. And possibly The Verve.

The Verve were **** apart from about two songs pre Urban Hymns.
