Oasis or Blur?

[Psychobilly freakout]

Oasis back in the day, now I can't stand them as they just sound dull, uninspiring and depressing.

Blur were interesting and still have that imagination that Oasis never did, which I can appreciate more now.

But what do I know, I hate the Beatles (just thought I would mention it in case no one knew)

I was more of a Pulp man myself, but if push came to shove I'd have to side with Blur

This. The nation should just forget Oasis. Blur are very good but are not in the same league as this country's best ever bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and Radiohead.

In your opinion.

In mine Oasis were much better than Led Zep, Pink Floyd, The Stones and Radiohead. The only bands better were The Beatles and The Who.

Coxon is the greatest guitarist of his generation.

I know that being a great guitarist is not all about technical ability (Coxon is average at best) but I don't think he has done anything to warrant that sort of praise. Brilliant yes. The greatest?? Find me a list on the internet, or anywhere, of the greatest guitarists from the 90's 00's or of all time, with him in, and I'll be genuinely shocked.

A quick google and I found this. Introduction seems to agree with me.

I'll find more later.

'Fraid he isn't. Yes, he's a good guitarist but the likes of Johnny Marr, Bernard Butler and John Squire stand head and shoulders above him.

Yawn. It's that time of year again.

Oasis every time. By far the better band live (seen both), better recordings and (prepare for an unchecked fact...) more prolific songwriters.

I still like Blur, but if only one could have existed it would be the Gallaghers.



Damon owns (owned?) a fantastic bar in Reykjavik though and I spent a very enjoyable afternoon there with a very attractive young lady. Cheers Damon.

Both
Vinyl Oasis
Live Blur (5 viewings Oasis 4)

I only like Song2 by Blur which is epic and I probably love about 20 Oasis tracks. Reading through this a poll isn't required, i'd say Oasis would win hands down.

'Fraid he is. This could go on all night.

 

[Wally Goulds right toe]

Dross both. The Beatles and Stones they ain't.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Oasis for me, it may be an age thing as I wasn't old enough in the early/mid-90's to know my own music tastes (or pay attention to it in general) but I struggle now to name more than 2 Blur tracks.

I have no such issue with Oasis, who seem to have been around the top for as long as I can remember.

 

[Braders]

If I can't say both then Oasis (still).

Prefer Damons solo stuff to Liam and Noels mind.

Cool, let's agree to disagree rather than clog the thread up with "yes he is, no he isn't" comments

 

[AmexRuislip]

Oasis, sorted.

Oasis all day long. For me the greatest band of all time
