I'm glad you finally realize lowfrequency
oasis and blur were like totally different style wise. don't know why people still argue about it these days.
Stll not the best
Pulp weren't part of the contest
Blur have always been better, Oasis had one average number 1 in Wonderwall and spent the 90s chasing that fame and they failed
they never really disliked each other either. even collaborated with coxon a few times.
Blur has 13, so it's the winner
>chasing that fame
Oasis sold 3 times as many records as Blur..
they're a one hit wonder in america
They outsold them by far in the states too.
I like both bands but honestly, Oasis were much bigger and more iconic. They pumped out anthems like nobody's business.
>Oasis had one average number 1 in Wonderwall and spent the 90s chasing that fame and they failed
Wonderwall wasn't even a number 1 hit. And they had eight number 1 hits mate.
Nah. Wonderwall was their biggest but Champagne Supernova, Live Forever, and Don't Look Back In Anger were all really big too.
their songs were still generic shit though, Blur skullfucked them in terms of good songs
We are talking about Britpop m8, don't bring USA into this.
Also, ranking britpop big four:
Pulp > Blur > Oasis > Suede
All decent bands by the way
>Oasis had one average number 1 in Wonderwall and spent the 90s chasing that fame and they failed
Oasis were way bigger than Blur in their heyday. No contest.
When did Blur ever play to 250,000 people?
When did Oasis did an album good as 13?
>Britpop
>Oasis
triggers me every time. there was nothing pop about their music, classic rock through and through.
this.
blur was a fucking manufactured pop boyband. oasis wasn't.
No they weren't. The only people who say this were born in the 90s and weren't actually around when they were happening.
Champagne Supernova was played on the radio just as much as Wonderwall.
Live Forever and Don't Look Back in Anger were always being played as well.
Also, Blur literally WAS a one hit wonder in America.
technically "Girls and Boys" was their highest charting hit in america
nah, Oasis were manufactured if anything, that's like saying the sex pistols formed out of interest in playing punk rock and had no influence from someone wanting to make a quick buck
It's the scene that they were in you moron, it's called Britpop because its relation with the 60's pop bands. By the way rock is pop music (at least during this period in England).
Masterplan is my favourite but if you're talking strictly sales, Morning Glory sold 20 million copies, roughly the same Albarn has sold in his entire career.
how was oasis manufactured exactly?
Oasis was on fucking Creation.
How were they "manufactured"?
they were a pop boy band manufactured by a major label to be the next beatles boyband
listen to wonderwall. they aren't rock at all.
they were on sony, but LICENSED to creation.
Britpop had more in debt to New Wave more than anything else
>Oasis were manufactured if anything
no chance
two constantly arguing drug binging brothers, and 3 ugly blokes who could barely play their instruments. they made it purely on noel's melodic songwriting which he undeniably has a talent for.
Don't get me wrong I dig some stuff from Oasis (first 2 albuns, the masterplan compilation and their last album), but come on Blur practically reinvented themselves on which album providing a streak of great albums. Oasis were good, but Blur represents the amalgamation of four decades of british music and I wasn't afraid of moving away from rock music from time to time.
The Kinks were the great fathers of Britpop user.

This was not pop music. Take That's cover of Relight My Fire released the same year was pop music.
If you are not baiting, you are delusional. Oasis and Blur were a part of an underground movement during the early 90's, only in 94 that the Britpop thing came out
Man they call themselves that, the movement was Britpop. I'm not saying that they were pop music in the same way that Michael Jackson or The Spices Girls were, I'm telling that it's just what they called themselves, and that the "pop" came from their 60's influences.
By the way Bring It Down is amazing
>what they called themselves
It's what the media called them.
Liam and Noel have claimed to be rockstars from day 1, the opening track on DM is even titled that.
Ultimately it's trivial, just a tad annoying they were associated with that scene despite sounding nothing at all like other bands around.
>not sounding like other bands around
yeah they just ripped off the beatles, the stone roses and the smiths and mixed it all together
You just a rockist that think is sacrilegious thing to call rock music pop, but the truth is that rock music is pop
SOMEDAY YOU WILL FIND ME FAFBHAF BENEATH THE ASFNGAAA
IN A CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA IN THE SKY
Beatles maybe
Stone Roses had one of the best British rhythm duos ever and both had incredible solo guitarists/composers. At the time Oasis had nowhere near the ability to rip them off.
Very early oasis was hugely indebted to the roses and manchester post-punk bands.
DM and WTS and BHN era oasis are just Beatles meets T Rex meets Slade meets Status Quo meets Sex Pistols meets The Jam meets The Small Faces
As a Montie fan I have to disagree. Montie is right about Oasis and I love him. Blur are shit and Oasis are amazing
No I'm calling it what it is. The Smiths, Small Faces, R.E.M., The Police, RHCP etc. etc. all bands that I'd happily call pop rock.
Not fucking Oasis though. Their whole image and ethos was to be loud and chaotic just like the Who. A proper pure rock band.

Listen to that groove and guitar. Oasis for all their hits never came close to making music as tight and refined as the Roses.

squire shits all over even gem
>a proper pure rock band
lolno
Pulp is the best and Different Class was the best britpop album
Fine, can't argue with mongoloids. Have some nice pop music to kick back with
The Verve > Pulp > Suede > >>> Blur > Oasis
