Blur or Oasis (lyrics, sing the song, music video, rock, albums)

Depends how you define Britpop.

At the start around 1992 or so the term was coined do describe people like PJ Harvey , The Auteurs & Suede as a new British movement of bands.

It didn`t actually become a 'sound' until a couple of years later when you had the likes of Elastica , Sleeper , Menswear , Shed 7 ect ect ect all trying to rip off Wire albums

They're both great , but Blur were better IMO. Most of Oasis' music get boring really fast, as their songs pretty much all sound alike.

Blur's band members weren't *******s in the tabloids either, and that help a lot if you're gonna like them.

I have to go with Blur. Damon wrote better lyrics and theyre music was much more diverse where as Oasis's music all starts to blend after the first 2 albums.

I grew up with both and they were both fantastic 60's throwbacks; however Oasis appeared in an exciting time for music, ignored that totally and appealed to the British public as the reactionary, comfort-loving, settle-for-average drunks that they predominantly are.

oh and in case there's any doubt as to who comes out on top:

for once I agree with a lot of people on here. Blur was amazing. I could never get really into Oasis as they sounded like the wannabe Beatles, whereas Blur was something unique and amazing the whole time.

Oh god I love Oasis to death so this is pretty biased.
