I'll go into it with an open mind, thats for sure! I do believe they had something special back in their heyday, and you can't deny the overt catchiness and great writing in songs like Live Forever... so I don't deny them of a chance of greatness!

I really have to say this. DO NOT judge Blur on just Song 2 and Boys and Girls. While those are the two popular songs you hear on the radio, that is by no means even a half decent representation of their music. My personal favorite album by the band is "Leisure" or "Parklife". I could never pick between the two.

So can you guess who I prefer? My vote goes to Blur. That said, I love Oasis as well, but it sounds like their just trying to conform these days to be more popular... yuck.

Even though their biggest pop record and also their most comercially successful record is now 14 years old?

I'd say Oasis are currently making whatever the hell they want to make without too much focus on sales and popularity.

Kill Dogma

I haven't heard enough Blur music to make an honest choice, but for now I'd go for Oasis.

I agree that they are way too ****y. Way to much ego. But at the end of the day, it's the music we must judge and not the artists behaviour.

I recently bought their album 'Stop The Clocks'. Great stuff! All the great hits are there.

Then I looked at the booklet inside... I was shocked! The very first line is this: "They came into our lives in April 94, as the body of Kurt Cobain lay newly dead, like a starshaped tambourine shattering through a window."

Now that is Bull****! No one messes with Kurt! The rest is all about how great they are and it's written by them!

But the music is still good, both Oasis and Nirvana, despite what they might say.

I wasn't judging them on those two songs. i find Song 2 listenable, TBH. I just can't get into the rest of their music.

Oasis hands down, they can write catchy songs that actually have substance. Just listen to (What's The Story) the whole way through and you'll understand

Oasis are miles better, hell there my favorite band of all time. Liam Gallaghers voice is so magic and Noel Gallagher regardless if he steals bits and pieces from past artist is still one of the best songwriters of our time. MG and DM is the best debut and sophomore album combo of all time. I enjoy just about every record they've put out besides the dull Heathen Chemistry (which if you really look into Oasis it's the only album they tried to relive past glories). Be Here Now is bloated but it fits the band perfectly at the time, with their new found success and their Cocaine abuse. Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants is great it has a couple of dull tracks but its production is top notch and its like the hang over record from Be Here Now. Don't Believe The Truth is another great retro 60s album its only got a few real stand outs, The Importance of being Idle being one of them, but as a collection of songs its solid all the way through. DOYS is probably the best record since MG because Noel has refound the magic of writing in the studio and everything sounds like magic. It tails of near the end due to Andy Bell and Liam's "ok" songwriting but Noel's songs on DOYS are creative, fresh, and as strong as they were in the mid 90s.

Blur are a great pop band and Damon and Alex are some of the best musicial minds of their time its just I've always preferred Oasis.

Mojo

You really think so?

8. "To Be Where There's Life" Gem Archer 4:35
9. "Ain't Got Nothin'" L. Gallagher 2:15
10. "The Nature of Reality" Andy Bell 3:48
11. "Soldier On" L. Gallagher

I'd say 3 out of those 4 were good tunes, the odd one out being Liams Aint Got Nothing. However that song aint half as bad as High Horse which is Noels and the worst track on the record.

Noels tunes are decent on this record, im not arguing that but 2 out of 3 of Liams are really good I think, as are Gems and Andy's.

Oasis
****ing love them. Had a ciggarette with Liam once, not that any one will believe me.

Ruth Inking

Love britpop! I'd choose Pulp over both of them!

"Theres No Other Way" & "Coffee and TV" are my favourite Blur songs. Can't say i've heard alot of their stuff though, so I'd have to go with Oasis over them.

Despite the Oasis boys really working their ego's out on 90% of anything i've ever seen of them in the media.

They've done alot of good stuff, some real classics.
