Love blurs weirder side... they were well ahead of their time... puts a mockery to the whole blur/oasis britpop rivalry

[@jasonlashman3507]

Blur. Probably one of the most Exceptionally Overlooked , Greatly Creative writing and music collectives besides maybe The Beatles.,The Stones, or U2 to name a few obvious children. Blur reconfigured the trends of their time, using the constant bombardment of advertising and ridiculous excess that 90s was known for in an exaggerated ,sarcastic tongue in cheek manner .That with some of the best harmony and melodies ive given in to singing along with , in my book make them one of my top ten favorite music collectives. Period.

[@zeandiaz1791]

How in the fuck are Oasis considered "more rock" when Blur have made far more heavier riffs. It is something that still really bothers me. Blur are way more of a rock band than Oasis ever were. Even Oasis fans were stunned when I played this song to them, they couldn't believe this was Blur.

[@ianrobby237]

Agreed, Coxon is better guitarist than noel ever will be Oasis being "more rock" than blur is a myth

[@KloppMichaelBarnes]

You are correct! I was a serious blur fan but lost them after the Great Escape debacle. Didn't even purchase blur or 13 despite the obvious hits... They were incredibly eclectic and flexible as a band with clever arrangements. Have finally re-discovered my love for them. Of course, the narrow definition of "rock" is not appropriate for such a wide-ranging group such as blur. They are still underrated.

[@jtaylor9562]

To be honest, as much as I like Noel and his instinct for a good tune, comparing Oasis to Blur is downright insulting. Yes, Oasis won the commercial War, but Blur had 6 consecutive UK No1 Albums and sold millions themselves. But, musically..no comparison. Blur constantly updated and progressed their sound, and made Kid A before Radiohead did. Oasis were done musically by 96. Everything after was just bloated pub rock and sub par versions of earlier work. The only real underwhelming album in Blurs catalogue is Leisure. But even that has 3 great songs on it.

[@Fordnan]

Because 'rock' tends to mean hitting your instruments until they make an acceptable noise. Oasis produced rock, Blur produced proper music. Of course, I understand the origins of the term 'rock' in music, but it means something completely different nowadays, as does 'rhythm & blues'. Who will be remembered and rediscovered in decades to come? It's not going to be Oasis.

[@piperthegates1744]

@@jtaylor9562 Blur are artists in a class of their own. And yes, class matters. Oasis overdid the whole Northern cool thing, and were so limited, creatively speaking. Terrace culture can only give you so much, you know. Adidas and lager. The irony is that Liam somehow managed to write a song like 'Born on a different cloud'. 'Pub rock' is an excellent way to put it. The whole 'new Beatles' thing is hilarious. Oasis' whole output would be the equivalent of the Beatles never getting past the 'Love me do' stage :)
