BOTH!
Why pitch them against each-other?
Both deadly bands.

I would probably have listened to more Oasis as a sprog.

Since we're rehashing the nineties:

Oasis, the best Beatles tribute band ever.

Stone Roses.

I was mad fer Oasis back in the day, but I listen to Blur more these days.

WHAA?

Father Damo's actually online here at the minute, so he'll sort out anyone who says Blur.

There was a bit more variety with Blur; Oasis kinda stuck with a media and crowd please formula, plus the Gallaghers were a pair of pricks.

Blur ---- Gorillaz
Oasis ---- Beady Eye

Let's not pretend there's any contest as regards creativity or evolution.

This +1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (ok my finger hurts from pressing '0' now )

I'd prob pick Oasis over Blur but two songs I absolutely hate are Oasis songs, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger.....if I never heard them again I'd be a happy man!

Both have some very good songs but at the end of the day they are both just a poor man's Stone Roses!

Looking back both groups were excellent in their own way

1995,the heat of that summer,great times:)

I like Oasis, but there was always far more talent and originality in Blur

I wouldn't take anyone seriously that would consider Oasis better than Blur.

Oasis haven't released a good album since 1995.

Agreed, though I'd lean more towards Blur.

I think that Oasis just became a bit overwhelmed with the level of fame they attained, and this affected their later music. Still love some of their early stuff. Noel Gallagher is a very talented guy.

Blur didn't have as much focus on them, and so probably felt not so constricted.

Heh, only in the latter years, IMO.

Yeah, Blur had many very talented members, Oasis seemed to only have one.

Yea, I voted for Blur too. Not all Oasis songs are particularly well-written, you can definitely smell the drugs on some of them. And Liam being a bit of a drama queen (I'm inclined to believe Noel) didn't help.
Also, I like the bass player in Blur and his cheese enthusiasm. That's a well-rounded individual!! In general, they were always a lot less arseholey than the Gallaghers.

Oasis IMO
but Blur is cool too

You live for your toys, even though they make noise

Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us



Considering how mind boggingly sh!t the above lyrics are, then I'll be going with Blur by default.

It was not really about the lyrics with Oasis it was the sound and attitude

That frequently produces gold though!

No, he really gets on my tits. There was a time a few years ago were he was very overexposed. He loves lots of attention. And keeps bringing up his cheese-making business. We get it Alex, you live on a farm.

And since we are sort of re hashing nineties comedy, Wings are the band that The Beatles could have been.

Which was grand for the first couple of albums but after that, you're not left with anything of substance.

During the 90s, I never liked Blur because I was a devote Oasis fan. More recently (last 3 years or so) I've been listening to more and more Blur. They wrote some fantastic tunes and had a lot more song writing ability amongst the band than Oasis.

I liked both, bought albums by both bands. But I was a big big Oasis fan. Went to loads of their gigs, missed the park ui chaoimh one though which was apparently the best. Saw Blur at Oxegen a few years back and they were epic.

I'd still say Oasis, they'll always bring back memories of my youth and had so many anthems of my generation, which will be known and listened to for years and years to come.

Madam_X

Oasis at the time of that apparent rivalry. I thought Morning Glory was a far better album than Great Escape.
Blur overall though.

Grew up with Oasis being blasted from my brothers room.

Always loved them!

Except Noel, he's a legend. Always comes across as having a good sense of humour in interviews imho.

Liam Gallagher always reminded me of an Ian Brown wannabe tbh!

However I prefer the big guitar sound of Oasis, songs like Hindu Times were/are class.

It'd be some album to have both bands Greatest songs on it tho....just please, please, please leave Don't Look Back In Anger off it

*toddles off to YouTube to make an Oasis/Blur playlist*
Anyone got any requests???

He absolutely was.

Blur for me. Oasis just kept rehashing the same old material.
Having said that, I like Noels solo stuff. Seems to have evolved a bit without the knacker brother.
