Jeez Fear. at least have the good grace to comprehend what I wrote before becoming highly indignant. :2: :2:
Blur are not for pretentious student twats, Blur ARE pretentious student twats. And Blur never made it near the premiership cos they were too busy playing softball with the girls.
Oh, and Noel is still very much in the Premiership.
Twas Liam who got relegated. :14:

No, I was responding like for like Tellamuir dude. You were dismissing the one, hence one I like, as for girls and pretentious students.
Why is my response in kind any worse!?
Or are you a big girls blouse! :17: :17:
Just for me, although I'm a fan of both, got more of Oasis actually as I have a few limited doo dahs and singles etc, but I just think Blur progressed and at least tried some different things, as does Alburn (albeit, I don't like a lot of the new stuff, not my style but it still impresses me he does all different things) whereas Noel had done an 'out there' cd which I was really looking forward to and apparently it has been shelved.
His high flying birds thing is ok but it is a bit dad rock really, no real risks or anything different. The one track deano found that Noel left off the cd is a total belter though and he has still got some good tracks on there.
So ner ner ner... :89:

One half decent album. OCS aren't fit to lace the boots of Blur, Oasis, Pulp... or Blue for that matter. lol
I did love Mosely Shoals though, and did enjoy seeing them live at the O2 Academy, so I'm not just hating for the sake of it, but they just aren't even in the same ball park.

I don't care, never really impressed by either of them. I will happily tap my foot and sing along to either band's music but my personal tastes lie elsewhere.

Blurs output is FAR superior and more consistent than that of Oasis. To hear some people here describe it as 'pop' in a derogatory way just highlights a lack of knowledge - Listen to 'Blur' or '13'. Also, since when is a band being 'arty' a bad thing? Pink Flloyd, Wire, Talking Heads anybody?
Oasis, Pulp, Suede were all class bands at their best. Blur maintained an almost faultless standard, whilst evolving their sound, from their second album onwards. To be fair, even the 'average' bands back then like Ocean Colour Scene, Cast or the Bluetones still produced some pretty damn good stuff whilst you also had the more experimental and brilliant Primal Scream, Radiohead, Spiritualized, Super Furry Animals etc... Shows how shocking the music scene is today - with the exception of Noel's solo stuff and Albarn's collaborations!
Anyway, here's a link of Noel Joining Albarn and Coxon on stage to play the wonderful 'Tender' (girly pop song?) the other night: http://gawker.com/5992228/legendary-britpop-beef-squashed-as-blur-and-oasis-members-share-the-stage

Big girls blouse? Do I sound like a Blurette? If thats what yis are called? Just my opinion but I doubt Blur ever changed a single life so I dont think they can be compared. Maybe Luton was a bit unkind, so will amend to Brentford!!!!
As mush as it pains me, have to agree re Dad rock. Am a Dad and I rock.
McGrath4Pope, never said 'arty' being a bad thing, just imho does little for me or to move me but thats probably just my lack of knowledge of lame pop art bands fatally tainted by pretentious students. Its a crazy situation but all I need is cigarettes and alcohol. :5:

Erm...I'm not a pretentious student? As an Oasis fan you may have heard of the Sex Pistols? pure art college stuff. I Just have a broader spectrum of taste I suppose. I love both Blur and Oasis - have seen both live on several occasions (and Gorillaz and High Glying Birds). Just as many pretentious Oasis fans in my experience - cheap Parker jacket, 'Reni' hat (but think it's a 'Liam' hat), 'sorted', bowling around pissed trying to look 'well ard' coz that's what us working class heroes do...

Tough one
I have got to say, when Blur got popular (about 3 yrs after There's no other way) I absolutely detested them with a pasion - all the mock cockney when you know I am verging on upper class stuff - hated them.
However, I then went to work for EMI, and promoted the Blur and 13 album, I was forced into going to see them against my will, and , I have to admit, they were absolutely superb. So I started to revisit the old stuff and found tracks like "To the end" which is just utter class.
Then we have Oasis - and , although I only own Morning Glory, I have liked every single they have ever released, and Don't look back in Anger is in my top 5, and I feel is THE best No.1 of all time (and voted for it on that ITV show the other year).
What I will say is this.
Oasis are best at what they do, but what they do , they did for ni-on 15 yrs.
Blur , track by track, don't match Oasis, but their range is far superior - I mean , "To the end" "Parklife" "Song 2" and "Tender" - they sound like four different bands - you have to give them credit for that.
I would never have said it 15 yrs ago - but yes - you CAN like them both !!

Oasis all the way for me. Acquiesce and Live Forever are two of my all time favourite tracks. Like most people I liked Song 2 by Blur but found most of their other stuff a bit bland, however I'll always remember seeing Tender on Later with Jools, when they performed with a full gospel choir and I fell in love with that song and still play it now.
