Blur or Oasis

[lwatkins]

For me its Blur EVERY time.

Can't stand Oasis.

[Liebensaft]

Where is the option for neither?

[YourBiggestFan]

kinda feel like this is fifteen years late yall.

[lwatkins]

its not too late. Surely good music is timeless?

[Mikedrummer]

Blur, cos their fanbase don't piss me off half as much.

[Correction]

its not too late. Surely good music is timeless?

but blur and oasis both suck terribly

[Wanker]

It's funny that oasis is winning despite everyone's overwhelming hatred/indifference towards them.

[lwatkins]

but blur and oasis both suck terribly

errr no they dont.

blur are fantastic. coxon is regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of the last 15 years

[McP3000]

but he's not that good, which is the funny part

both bands suck

[Zmev]

Pulp

[lwatkins]

nahh mate, its not that both bands suck. if you listen to blur properly, instead of dismissing them based on hearing parklife and song 2 than youll realise that they have great elements of raw punk and soft whimsicalness to them.

[Liebensaft]

I love soft whimsicalness.

[okay]

Think Tank was dope ****

[DangeloBailey]

nahh mate, its not that both bands suck. if you listen to blur properly, instead of dismissing them based on hearing parklife and song 2 than youll realise that they have great elements of raw punk and soft whimsicalness to them.
No they suck ****ing dick.

[DangeloBailey]

Parklife would be ok if they didn't hire Stephen Street to make it sound like a wet turd.

or you're just a dumbass and don't know how to opinion

[lwatkins]

stephen street doesnt make things sound like a wet turd. its the opposite! he produced the smiths for ****s sake! - the band with the most twinkly bits of silvery percussion and thin and light guitar parts

[Happymeal]

Pulp

this

[christsimpson]

this

yup



also I like both Blur and Oasis. they both have boring stuff as well as good stuff. but "Coxton's album" are good enough for me to vote Blur over Oasis.



but anyway what up with people thinking britpop = indie?

[lukeskywalkertakingadump]

Blur has more good songs than Oasis, but Oasis' good songs are great. Oasis wins for me, both aren't that great though. The Clash > both those bands.

[christsimpson]

any band > The Clash

Pulp > any band


roughly speaking

[Titan50]

Blur wins by a mile. I like Oasis, but the Gallaghers are both cunts, and a lot of their music sounds the same. Blur aren't afraid to experiment, and they're just generally the better band. And I have a thing for Damon Albarn


any band > The Clash


Brace for impact

[christsimpson]

Brace for impact

been through it before. I'll be okay. it's mostly just fun.

[Wanker]

but anyway what up with people thinking britpop = indie?

I don't think anyone actually said this..

Either way, britpop would fall under the alternative genre if we're being picky about it.

[christsimpson]

no it's just pop or rock. Hüsker Dü is alternative.

[Iai]

i was disgusted when i saw this awful thread get to 2 pages

then i noticed you were all just trolling

good work everybody

[Iai]

nahh mate, its not that both bands suck. if you listen to blur properly, instead of dismissing them based on hearing parklife and song 2 than youll realise that they have great elements of raw punk and soft whimsicalness to them.
it's funny because those are two of their best songs, and there's not a single person who posts here that hasn't heard at least one of their albums

[niobium]

me. don't plan to. you probably heard that **** nonstop in your native country

[djtdub105]

It's a close one, but I'm gonna have to go with blur

[Meatplow]

never been fond of britpop

i've heard more from oasis so i'll go with them (logic)

[Iai]

the next thread should be Undertaker vs. Mankind

[lwatkins]

it's funny because those are two of their best songs, and there's not a single person who posts here that hasn't heard at least one of their albums

no way are they their 2 best songs?!?!?

Beetlebum, Coffee and TV, Charmless Man, For Tomorrow, To The End, There's No Other Way, MOR... all much better

[Zmev]

Chokeslam! He chokeslammed him to hell!

[Zmev]

stone cold stone cold stone cold stone cold stone cold stone cold stone cold

[Zmev]

hi im the caps filter and im just terrible

[Titan50]

wut

[Iai]

Beetlebum, Coffee and TV, Charmless Man, For Tomorrow, To The End, There's No Other Way, MOR... all much better
Charmless Man and Beetlebum are the only two tracks there worthy of shining Song 2's boots.

[Matt?]

dinosaur jr. or sebadoh




honestly i'd take the less cheesy of the two

[Jacaranda]

sex change bono or sex change chasity bono

[Liebensaft]

Oh, gross.

[DhA]

Oasis have a handful of good songs, Blur have a handful of good albums, easy call.

[indietrashrock]

don't know why Dinosaur Jr. is mentioned but they are AWESOMMMMMMMMME.

[lwatkins]

Charmless Man and Beetlebum are the only two tracks there worthy of shining Song 2's boots.

song 2 is a pile of wank

[Anti45]

heresy.

I voted for Blur , not because I particularly like them , mostly because I hated those wankers that make up that overhyped pub band that is Oasis

[lwatkins]

those wankers that make up that overhyped pub band that is Oasis

THANK YOU!!!!!:chug:

You're my new favourite user

[Brad Litton]

Oasis definitely wins the battle of the egos :) lol

[indietrashrock]

I bought Modern Life Is Rubbish today.

[DhA]

really good album.

[lwatkins]

I bought Modern Life Is Rubbish today.

superb album


and Blur were ****ing amazing at glastonbury

[Stone Birds]

I truly like Oasis its probably because Ally Heman did a cover of one of their songs.

[Panfanelpwno]

Pulp is much better than both, but Blur is the superior of the two.

[Rhinosaur]

I love Blur.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

coxon is regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of the last 15 years


:lol:




.....Oasis > Blur

[TheGreatD17]

Blur by a rather wide margin.

[lwatkins]

:lol:




.....Oasis > Blur

Er well he is. Whats Gallagher ever done??? Written the same chord sequence fifty times with a slightly different pentatonic 4 note melody. What a talent!

Coxon is inventive, ingenoius, he thinks outside of the box, uses effects to good use, writes different styles.

[DhA]

yeah coxon is an awesome guitarist one of the gallaghers even said it

[Interstate]

Oasis.

I've always enjoyed them more for some reason, I have no idea why.

Err and you're comparing two mediocre guitarists.

Coxon is a good guitarist, of course, and more often than not he is better than Noel, but to say 'he is the best guitarist of the past 15 years' is nonsense.

[lwatkins]

At no point did I say that. I said that "he is renowned as one of the best guitarists of the last 15 years.

Plus, just because you can play quickly doesnt mean youre good. Inventiveness is key.

For me, Johnny Greenwood, John Frusciante, Tom Morello, matt bellamy, etc etc etc are in a totally different league - but i still think Coxon is a brilliant inventive guitarist; in a totally different league to Noel.

[plastic]

oasis is eternally terrible, so by default, Blur.

And at no point did I say anything about playing quickly :confused:

And 'renowned' by who exactly? I personally have never seen anything that renowns Coxon as 'one of the greatest', 15 yrs or otherwise....then again I don't read NME (or garbage like Kerrang! before you say anything).

If we were to talk about modern guitarists, well I would agree in Bellamy, Morello, Frusciante to some extent.... Jack White has also written some fantastic riffs (though I'm not a fan of White Stripes) and I could spout on about metal guitarists but lets not get out of context! Oh, and Radiohead, dunno their guitarists names (except Thom Yorke) but they're a very talented band.

There is no doubt Coxon > Noel so lets move on.

yes yes, Johnny Greenwood of radiohead. i too agree with jack white.
Even Gallagher has acknowledged Coxon's skill for being able to write diverse guitar parts etc.

Many "critics" of music (who I hate by the way) regard Coxon as a guitar "hero" (for some reason) of the last 15 years.


Personally, I think that a lot of music these days is chord driven utter passionless drivel. I love the fact that Coxon challenges this by constantly experimenting to look for new ways to play the guitar etc.

[SAMOVAR]

While, I do not make accusations that there are those here who have 'sophisticated' taste in music, or are by all accounts pompous, arrogant and self-involved. Really, the reasoning behind why a band is better than another, is personal preference. Something, that neither person a, nor person b; can ridicule person c over, at least not without appearing to be an arrogant close minded individual.

I personally prefer Oasis, not only on the simple matter that: Whats the story (Morning Glory), being the defining album of the 'Cool Britannia' Era, but on the simple matter that it is the music which I grew up with.

Similarly, as my parents or older people, will undoubtedly have warm feelings about bands such as Duran Duran, something that the generation of today, will seek to reprimand to be of little musical value. Music, is a matter of personal taste. If you value the sound of New Wave over Hip-Hop, it is simply that, a matter of personal taste; and it isn't a matter of a person being better, on the matter that one likes one over another.

You don't really 'get' the internet, do you?

[SAMOVAR]

I do, and sadly; this is the reality of the world outside as well. Everyone is of the opinion, that the particular opinion they hold is the only right one.

[bloc]

they both the same, although song 2 is class.

[Miles102]

Blur has more good songs than Oasis, but Oasis' good songs are great. Oasis wins for me, both aren't that great though. The Clash > both those bands.

Way to go mention a band that has absolutely nothing to do with the thread. At least the mention of Pulp was of the time.

And for the record I think Oasis. Both bands can slip into mediocrity but Oasis have so many great songs to balance it out. Blur can't compete.

[lwatkins]

And Blur don't have many great songs?

[JillyBo]

There really is a lot of Oasis hatred these days isn't there? Everytime they release an album it's always compared to their first two and hailed as **** because it's not as good as them, even though their recent releases, if you look at the albums objectively, are always in the top 10 albums of the year.

Also as a side note, I know the guy's a prat but what do people think of Liam as a vocalist? Live he's not up to much these days but on their most recent album 'Dig out your soul' he completely overshadows everything on the album with his powerful performances.

[lwatkins]

Just cus theyre in the top ten, doesnt mean theyre worth anything. That renders them even more subjective.

Plus, I'll admit Albarn isnt the greatest vocalist. But he's slightly better than Liam, and he's a far better lyricist.

[DogInTheBanned]

Woohoo

[DogInTheBanned]

theyre both definition mediocre you stupid mother****er

[DogInTheBanned]

i mean honestly why would you still care about oasis or blur in the year 2009

[DogInTheBanned]

i don't understand SOMEONE EXPLAIN

[DogInTheBanned]

"no one's going to explain it, dog; it's dead. all dead."


don't ban me this is insightful
