Yes...it need not be paradoxical that if one likes one band they should
hate the other...I like both. Just my thought...
-Vivek
i like 'em both. *krys*
I love them both too, for different reasons.
Blur sounds good and has good lyrics. most of the time.
Oasis just plain ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

And I disagree, OASIS are NOT as good as the Beatles (but maybe they will

Who is blur? Again, I live in America and I've never heard
of Blur until I got the Internet. If they aren't on the radio or MTV,
then I don't know who they are, so if someone could tell me a few things
about them I'd appriciate it.

Over here in Canada, I don't think there is quite the same adulation for
Oasis as in the UK. From what I've been hearing of late, Oasis is
absolutely huge overseas. Now my question is... Is Blur just as huge? Or
has Oasis passed them by in popularity long ago? Maybe Blur is bigger?
Somebody tell me who's winning the popularity race!!!!

>I'm inclined to disagree. Oasis ARE better than the Beatles.
ok eveybody has the freedom to speak up.But I think most will disagree
(including OASIS !)
No, actually, Noel said that the Beatles are the "ultimate pop
band". Which they are. But, it's all a matter of musical preference. I
do, however, feel pity for the minority who think not, but it's their
loss.

Well, I know in Canada nobody'd ever heard of them until they did a cover
(I think it's a cover, at least) of a song called Boys and Girls that
basically goes, "Girls who like boys who do girls like they're boys who do
boys like they're girls.. balahblahalha Always should be someone you
really love" and it's got a dance tune to it, sort of. Crap all song, but
I borrowed another of their albums from a friend and the rest of their
tunes aren't so bad. You probably haven't seen them much on MTV.. not at
all popular anywhere but England. :)

Blur is Oasis's "rival" band. I live in the States too, and you
haven't heard any Blur stuff?!? Doesn't your local modern rock station
play them? Surely you have heard Boys & Girls...it starts out with that
Nintendo game sound and goes on and on about "girls who like boys who
like boys like they're girls who do boys like they're girls like they're
boys..". Sound familiar? Personally I quite enjoy Blur. But Oasis are
the ultimate rock band!
>So there you go.
>CC.
In the UK that stupid bull popularity war between them which was
invented by the press was long won by Oasis (when (WTS)MG & Great
Escape came out). There is no competeion now as Oasis have won by
complete miles. Blur are hiding in the shadows right now.

You uneducated Twat - Only the most influential band ever producing no
less than thirteen long playing recordings which are remastered on to CD
and sold in there millions. You're a Tosser! :-<<<

In New Jersey, more people have HEARD of Oasis than have heard of Blur,
but most people who know about Oasis say that they can't stand them,
they're a bunch of morons, etc..
Those of us who do like Oasis couldn't help but hear about Blur, and we
were interested to see just what all the fuss over there was all about.
It seems that most of us (the Oasis fans) like Blur too (my sister and I
have all the albums by both bands, and our friends who also like Oasis
KEEP borrowing them...I haven't seen "Parklife" in weeks!) -- so it looks
like the "big feud" did just what it was designed to do and got people to
buy records from both groups...

Man I'm sick to death of people like you that think that Blur
needs to beat Oasis to be better and vice versa. Both bands
have totally different styles of music and so don't even
compare. As far as I'm concerned they are both winners for the
fact that they both make really good music which is reflective
of thier own personal style. The only competition is the one
that the media has managed to convince you of.
Aimee
Who cares? What do you mean who's winning, does it matter. If i said
blur would you suddenly like blur alot. It's up to you who you prefer
or like the same as. So nobodys winning. Stop writing threads like
that, cause we get them every week.

For God sake you fool. I wonder why you didn't quote my whole article
considering I clearly say "that stupid bull popularity war". That
quote above was the verdict most press came to. The press have
stopped. So shut up or learn to bloody read it all instead of just
what you want to read.
P.S. Man I'm sick to death of people like you.
like liam says blur is chimney sweep music, which sings all about
english things americans cant relate too, im not denying that that are
good...just making a point

Blur are great and so are Oasis.
Still Dodgy are better than both of them! (That's why the whole
war is meaningless...)

>Well I happen to think otherwise:

>Of course, if You like Blur, tell me why.
Incomparable. Two different kinds of music. Blur writes brilliant pop songs
and when I saw them live they were great. I think 'The Great Escape' is one
of the best pop albums of the 90's. I don't consider Oasis pop, but more of a
straight ahead rock and roll band. I personally love both bands. Oasis has
released two fine albums. Blur, on the other hand, has alot more material (4
albums worth and alot of b-sides) and all of it is great as well. I've been
listening to Blur since 'Leisure' in 1991 and can't really say they've been
riding Oasis's coattails, since they have 1) been releasing albums longer
than Oasis and 2) have been quite successful on their own merits.
The Stone Roses were/are a fine band, but as far as 80's leftover's are
concerned, I'll take My Bloody Valentine over them anyday.
Of course, if You like Blur, tell me why.
"I may not agree with what you say, but I would defend to the death your
right to say it." -Voltaire
Both are typical songwriters bands, like Dodgy, like Lightning
Seeds, like XTC, like Crowded House and like some others.
When it comes to the way of arranging the songs there are big
differences, and I think the kind of Oasis fan who hates Blur is
the one who doesn't care for the songs, but just look for
fuzz-guitars.
That is a very ignorant way of listening to music. The SONGS are
the most important thing, and the way it is played is just
something they put on top. Personally I prefer Blur's more
sophisticated arrangements to Oasis' plain rock'n'roll, but both
groups have GREAT songs.
