Damon Albarn vs Noel Gallagher (genre, album, The Smiths, tunes)

~~The Unfan~~ · 01-28-2007, 09:50 PM

As a musician/writer/everything else Damon. As a person, Gallagher is funnier.

It's strange that Damon has totally changed over the years, whereas Gallagher hasn't. Not only musically, but personality-wise aswell. I think if you don't know who Damon is, you SERIOUSLY need to do some homework. Amazing.

i wouldnt call him amazing, i respect him for making gorillaz the success they've become but i always preferred Coxon in blur and its quite telling that when he left, the band went down the sh!itter.

Mmm the gorillaz are hot **** man, but did they make better songs than oasis? I don't think so...nah screw it damon. Oasis gets rammed down my throat.

damon must surely get the vote purely because blur were approximatly 1000 times greater then oasis. He may not have been the driving voice behind them (IMO), but the fact he was the frontman automatically gets him the vote. And i REALLY would like to see Gallagher try a dance/rock/rap fusion project, if his 'collaberation' with the chemical brothers is anything to go by it wouldnt be pretty.

Damon, I disliked the good the bad and the queen, but I liked Gorillaz and Blur. He was more original than Noel, more experimenting, and a hell of a lot modester. Noel is an arrogant fukc, who has been making the same boring sh!t for far too lang. And getting way too much credit along the way...

Vote.

Or you could have Jarvis ****er who is both intelligent AND working class

Agreed , Blur without Coxon are nothing

He`s done some stuff with Death In Vegas too

If we are going by music i`ll say Albarn , personality i`ll say Noel. I don`t think he`s arrogant at all most of the bands he`s slagged off deserve it (Phil Collins , Starsalor , Keane ect ect).

I understand what you said about Jarvis ****er, but he was never really involved in this feud, was he? Pulp were majorly overlooked, which is a bloody shame.

Actually I thought both "Setting sun" and "Let forever be" were some of the best work Gallagher has ever done...

As much as I like Oasis (especially their earlier stuff) Blur have always been the more complex of the two, always reinventing themselves. The latest things Damon Albarn has been involved in - The Good The Bad The Queen, and his upcoming "Monkey" show in Manchester this summer - are quite remarkable. Can you imagine Noel Gallagher composing music for a Chinese acrobats' opera?

Albarn for sure. mainly cause i don't like Oasis.. but also cause i have every Blur album and i love em all
