Taking Sides: Blur or Oasis?

My question of the day. Let the fur fly...

― Nicole, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As I said previously: Oasis. They smash things and don't have Damon Albarn in the band.

― Ally, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I started the Oasis list and still run it, though I doubt they're going to hit their stride again, more's the pity. Blur died somewhere in 1996 but Damon hasn't stopped talking.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is such a hard question to answer! Don't like Oasis, therefore Blur because I think they are slightly better, and it was quite funny when they beat them to number one!

― james e l, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur, Blur, Blur, so easily Blur. I could fill half a tape with Blur stuff I like, for goodness sake!

― Tom, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur, on merits of eclecticism and musical ambition alone.
They don't always succeed, but hey, at least they try.
I can't think of the last time I made it through a whole Oasis song.

― Melissa W, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom> is that a 90 or 60 minute tape?

― james edmund L, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Though Blur overwhelm Oasis in terms of the number of songs I like (and even love), I have to go with Oasis.

I just cannot countenance Damon, damn it. He makes me physically ill.

And Oasis (at least in the early days) were just a lot of fun. I have to admit I still like Definitely Maybe an awful lot. They are kind of gross now....BUT STILL NOT AS BAD AS DAMON! Even if they knocked up all of All Saints and married Chris Evans and endorsed William Hague.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur can be good in a bubblegummy, dancy sorta way (woo hoo!). Oasis is just pointless and lugubrious and decadent in ways that don't translate at all to their music. Though I like "Supersonic", it hardly forgives pop "craft" as execrable as "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova". They should cut an oi! tune is what they should do.

― Kris, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i prefer more of blur's songs but DM is a better album than any of blurs - if liam had shacked up with tracey emin in '95 the world would've been a better place.

am i the only person on ILM who hates COXON ?

- dave rowntree iz a fuckin GOD though !

― geordie racer, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur. But I wouldn't start a war over it or anything. I have no major problem with Oasis' music, but I might if they were as big over here as they are/were in the UK.

― Patrick, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oasis. I used to own What's The Story... then I sold it. But I liked it while I owned it just fine.

― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur, without a doubt, although I recently listened to DM for the first time in years and was surprised how much of it I enjoyed -- esp. Slide Away, Bring it on Down, Columbia. Still, for me, it's handful of Oasis songs against five rewarding Blur albums.

― scott plagenhoef, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

For the hits: Oasis For the albums: Blur For being stars: Oasis For trying, at least, to make "art": Blur

― Keiko, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It pains me to say this, as they contain two of biggest cockfarmers in pop, but Blur, by a mile. I still think they're shite (and I'm wearing the T-shirt now) but my loathing for Oasis overwhelms virtually everything else.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Racer - you are not the only person on this board who hates Coxon.

To whoever said - at a stretch (putting on stuff like "Stereotypes" which I only enjoy half the time I hear it) I could fill half a C120!

― Tom, Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This should be in "it's not the band I hate, it's their fans" for most of you UK posters, I imagine.
I dig Blur a shade more than Oasis, only because Oasis suck worse now than Blur do. 13 wasn't as much of a waste of time as billed, but SOTSOG certainly was (for the most part). And a song that makes me go blubby pretty routinely is "No Distance Left To Run". Also, Noel once said he wished Damon would die of AIDS, which is never, ever cool. So Blur, on points. Hell, they got me through high school.

― Dave M., Wednesday, 9 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur got interesting around the time of 'Blur' and certainly '13', although I like bits of 'Parklife' and 'The Great Escape' Oasis's high point is 'Definitely Maybe' which still sounds as great in 2001, and their nadir is the wretched 'Morning Glory'. Somehow the cult of the Gallaghers (and the presence of 'Wonderwall') overshadowed the fact that this album is pitiful. Virtually everything which was good about DM (arrogance, power) has been brutally cut away to leave flabby 'anthems' of the worst kind. I have more time for 'Be Here Now' than just about anyone I know - most of the flak reserved for it should have been brought to bear on WTSMG a year or so before. By this time Blur were a far more interesting proposition anyway.

To answer the question - early Oasis, later Blur. Overall - Blur, as Oasis have done nothing as great as 'Yuko and Hiro', ' This is a Low', or the second half of '13'.

― Dr. C, Thursday, 10 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Very difficult, let's see:

Blur + 'Girls&Boys', 'Beetlebum' and that one with Laetitia Sadier, getting fantasisied about in Dennis Cooper's semi-crap 'Guide'. Blur - Damien & Alex, Song 2, Crap Little Englander Cult, post- Justine Shite album, pretending to be Pavement thinking it somehow adventurous, Chelsea fans. Score: -2

Oasis + 'Shakermaker', 'Supersonic', 'Ciggies & alcohol', 'Some Might Say' and 'D'You Know What I Mean' [all singles I love in spite of myself], Liam's swagger, support of crap Man City.

Oasis - 'Wonderwall'[utter shite], shite albums, cult of Lad, Tour of Indochina means automatic Cover of MM and NME. Noel's obsession with Guitar solo's.

Oasis total: +2

Oasis in surprise win over Blur :)

― Omar, Thursday, 10 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oasis bore for England. Blur win.

(And what's the epistomology of this word "cockfarmer" please? Meaning he who farms cocks? He of multiple cocks? He of cocks on sale at the supermarket next to the eggs?)

― AP, Thursday, 10 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur by a country mile. Have to agree with much of what Dr C said. Oasis were vital on that first lp for the attitude and for the way they shook things up as much as anything else and yes it still sounds really good.

Glad to hear someone speak up against the almost unquestionable praise that WTS(MG)gets these days when most of it is piss poor. Didn't like BHN at first but then started to quite like it just around the time that everyone else seemed to be slagging it off.

Now they're pretty irrelevant. Who cares anymore.

As for Blur, I've always really liked them. Sure they have their share of poor songs but in the most part they've been really interesting and at least they have turned their hand to different things rather than plough the same furrow as per Oasis.

I may not be mad keen on some of the members of the band but for me that doesn't lessen my enjoyment of the music.

― Mark Smith, Thursday, 10 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have to say at this point that I find the praise of 'trying something different even when it doesn't work' a bit suspect. I'd rather hear somebody with a slightly more contracted scope do something very very well rather than people with wider visions do piss-poor pastiches of eight million different things in order to seem somehow edgy, and failing.

Keep in mind I like the magpie nature of Blur up through 1995 quite fine. After that, though, ambition outstripped ability, and I find songs like "Tender" (HAHAHAHAHA! Couldn't stop playing _Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space_ after Justine left you, couldn't you? No wonder Mogwai made those shirts.) and "No Distance Left to Run" about as accomplished as a damp fart.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think if I got dumped I'd probably put on Ladies & Gentlemen quite a lot, too. The open borrowings actually make the song more touching for me, though I too laughed like a beast the first time I heard it.

― Tom, Thursday, 10 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, there's nothing with his choice of album. There's everything wrong with the ham-handed results. Now imagine if he had listened to Nazareth's "Love Hurts" instead.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I might surprise myself and say Oasis. They just have better tunes, innit?

― Ally C, Friday, 11 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't think oasis ever did, or ever could write a tune as good as "this is a low". So Blur for me, despite likinv very little they've done since "The Great Escape".

x0x0

― norman fay, Saturday, 12 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur. Of course in the US we are relieved from most of press y'all across the Atlantic are inundated with between these two bands. So on the music alone, Blur wins by a landslide.

― bnw, Saturday, 12 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

four months pass...

OASIS no question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think when ppl compare them to the almighty beatles, they r being slightly over-rated, but, they are still one of the best english rock bands of the 20th century!!! REMEMBER - oasis will "live forever" (well on my CD player any way!! www.benchampniss.8m.com (My Band ALterrain's Website)

― Ben Champniss, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur, obviously. They managed to put out several albums chock full of good songs, while Oasis, fun as they are, barely scraped through with one. I still like Oasis, mind you, but they're definitely limited, not even in the same class as Blur.

― Jack Redelfs, Sunday, 7 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur - thoroughly detestable but (like the chimp with the typewriter) managed to produce one 'not terrible' track- Girls & Boys. Oasis just look like chimps.

― stevo, Sunday, 7 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Some arguments never die, do they? This has proven to be almost as virulent as the whole Janet/Madonna schism.

― Nicole, Sunday, 7 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My favorite part of Oasis is how much people hate them. I had to sit through them myself waiting for Neil Young once and the barrage of water bottles was great, after awhile the drunker of the two brothers stop avoiding them realizing they didnt hurt and a couple hit him on the top of the noodle.

That was also the first night I had seen Spiritualized so the rest of the concert till Neil's 2nd encore was kinda of a) blur or b) saved for remebering Spiritualized.

― Mr Noodles, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur don't deserve to be mentioned on the same line as Oasis. Oasis are the cream. Blur are the bottom of the bear glass.

― Lee Phillips, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur vs Oasis? The La's! (Face it, Britpeople...you had your chance at a second Beatles, and it didn't pan out. Next stop: Bowie copyists!)

― Lord Custos, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blur. Far more songs that i enjoy, with far less tepid melodrama that awkwardly gets misconstrued for mythology with those other folks.

― badger, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like the bottom of the bear glass. But things can occasionally get hairy down there.

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I Forget. Who was that old frontiersman folk hero who killed a Grizzly Beer when he was only three?

― Lord Custos, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sorry, but to put oasis in the same league of a band, who's frontman descides to join a cartoon band that call themselves gorillorz, is madness. I also think, while on the subject of apes, that even me and my monkey have sumthin to hide..!!!!

The Masterplan is the most underated song of all time...!!!!!

― Ben Champniss, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what could be cooler than joining a cartoon band of monkeys? I guess if you were a member of Lancelot Link and the Evolution Recolution, but that's it...

― g, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i choose the really stinky dogfart that stings your eyes that is blur over the dogshite that gets on yr trews when yr muckin around in the playground that is oasis. do we all know quite how INTENSELY both of these bands suck?

Oasis Kick arse! Blur Suck!

well it's hard to say blur or oasis. I would take oasis because they have great songs such as "sunday morning call" and "the masterplan". Musically they are better than blur in my opinion, but in the terms of lyrics blur are great. songs like "coffee and tv", "look inside america", and "stereotypes" are great and criticize heavy consuing, capitalism, modern alienation, and well mcdonalds and friends. also, Damon is a great lad compared with liam who's a bit arrogant but funny. Noel and Graham are both axe gods but I dislike Noel's comments about damon getting aids. What a shite! Well I hate that gorillaz project and the supposed colaboration with feminem and d-12. Well what could Isay? both are great and have good musicians. Well definetely I'll pick oasis because they're b-sides and better and because some of blur's songs are not of my straight rock style. BOTH ARE THE BEST.

― daniel alvarado, Thursday, 27 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I used to think Oasis were the best, but now that I have heard all the Blur b-sides thanx to audiogalaxy, they are very close. Oasis *are* more like the Beatles, and Blur are more like Herman's Hermits, but each band does its own thing pretty well, although both have kind of sucked of late. I think What's the Story is a bit better than Modern Life is Rubbish, but at least they're not boybands! Thank goodness we had Oasis and Blur to listen to--what else was there? They saved us from the Britbeat, disco, and grunge. Now this Gorillaz thing, isn't that a bit of a step backwards, monkeying around a bit? What was Damon thinking?

― Mr. Briggs, Saturday, 29 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one month passes...

clearly oasis, there are far more successful than that small group called "blur". they produce classic songs and lyrics. A classic song " this ones for blur cos' they wont and we will LIVE FOREVER" fookin mad ferrit!

― gareth mitchell, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No you mean to mock blur about graham coxon being a 30something man who wears 14 year olds clothes and has a skateboard. and you need to mock oasis for being fucking shit.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Ronan take Orange County" would probably be more entertaining than that film with the Hanks-spawn.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Quite so. Especially considering Ronan sounds like he wants to become a combination of Judge Dredd, the Punisher and Freddy Kreuger.

My heads still hurting from the Blur/Bowie comparison!

Why? They certainly share lotsa traits: Albarn and Bowie both clearly in love with themselves; both epitomised very "British" music in their time, or what others perceived to be British music; infatuation with reinvention; both have fanbases who can't really decide whether they're singles artists or albums artists or both.

David Bowie was in Zoolander

That was actually Gary Glitter incognito.

If Oasis = Slade, Blur = Bowie and Pulp = Roxy Music, does this mean that Suede = Sweet, Elastica = Suzi Quatro, Supergrass = T-Rex, Placebo = Wizard, Boo Radleys = Cockney Rebel, Verve = Mud, Travis = Showaddywaddy, and Ian Brown = Gary Glitter?

I think you need to switch Suede and Supergrass around.

Oasis:Nirvana::Blur:[fill in the blank]?

Oasis, for making catchy songs with really, really easy chord progressions, remedial-level guitar solos and expressive singing. I love Oasis, pretty much for the reasons Ally articulated. When they get noodly, it's bad.

Still, I love Oasis' Spinal Tap excesses. Last time I saw them, Liam had five--count em'--five vocal monitors arranged around the mike stand in a pentagon shape and he still couldn't carry the tune. It was almost as good as the Black Sabbath reunion concert last summer where Bill Ward had a guy off to the side of the stage whose job it was to count out on his fingers the time for Bill Ward to drum to (and a-one! two, three, four, and a one! two . . .)

My two cents: They both jumped the shark fairly quickly quicky (Be Here Now, The Great Escape). At their best Oasis had better melodies but Blur had better production. It's kind of a tie for me. In any case:

Pulp >>> Suede > Blur ~ Oasis

So I guess it's a tie.

Can't believe it's that close. And what constitutes a listener? Bc the only Blur song that was popular here was Song #2, but it was pretty big

― Thicc Nhat Wanh (rip van wanko), Monday, 24 August 2020 11:08 (five years ago)

Also, various Oasis albums (including best ofs) are floating forever in the lower reaches of the album charts.

Which may be the same thing as being listened to on Spotify, I don't know
