Is Blur better than Oasis?

Blur won the battle with some early great songs. Oasis won the war with the wider catalogue and staying power.

I just ask, because whenever I post Blur, some people say Oasis is much better. I like them both, actually.

@houghtonmags Me too, always did 👍

@houghtonmags 👊😉

Are you mad? I know this is cheap click farming but Oasis is so far better in every imaginable way.

Oasis are the most dogshit overrated band in all of history. Music for fucking morons.

Miles better

Both are great bands. The difference is that Blur can be several bands at once—one sounds like "Song 2," another like "The Universal" or "Girls & Boys." Oasis sounds like just one band; they never reinvented themselves.

Best Singles: Oasis Best Albums: Blur

yes, and it's not even close Pulp is better than either of them, though

Think of it this way. Outside the UK, most people only know Song 2 by Blur. Whereas outside the UK, most people know two or three songs by Oasis. Now….with Damon’s other project, Gorillaz a much stronger argument can be made.

Better? That’s debatable. What’s not debatable is that Blur is much cooler.

Absolutely

No

I Blur are more musical. Definitely have more diversity in styles of music. I also think Oasis peaked on their 2nd album and just got worse as they went on with some occasional good songs. I think it will be easier for Blur to do Oasis than it would for Oasis to do Blur.

Oasis play the big anthems, Blur the small everyday observations. Depends what you fancy: the stadium or the streets. Oasis were always closer to the Beatles' harmonies, Blur always closer to the Kinks' snapshots of British life.

Blur sacó muy buen material durante mucho tiempo. En ese sentido si. Peeero Oasis tiene esto, que es una obra maestra:

As musicians yes, as attention seekers no

they are too different. But you know what..? Damon Albarn is a genius !

Oasis have 4 great songs, Blur have only 3, but one of them is Tender. How did I manage to live through the 90s without ever seeing these people's faces? Did the video not get any airplay in the US? I must have heard the song 500 times on the radio.

No

Yes. Their music is multi dimensional. Doesn’t sound the same every time. You can actually sit and listen to a couple albums and enjoy them without being tired of the same sound.

Absolutely not

Yes 😊. And this is the best Blur song.

Easily better. They weren't locked into one particular musical style and did them all well. Oasis where good but never really went out of their comfort zone.

Musicalmente superior a oasis, oasis son dos discos. Blur fue más musicalmente

Blur is only a tiny part of Damon Albarn’s body of work, a real genius who is in a completely different league from Oasis

Yes!!!!!

Yes.

No…

💯

oasis is genuinely rooted in working class madchester shoegaze britpop scene and can only be that. Blur come across as polymath theater kids dabbling in genres

Blur - talent, compositional diversity, originality, sophistication, style, and musicality. Oasis - monotony.
