Blur
Do you prefer Oasis or Blur?
If you’re reading this wearin reebok classics, a parker and a version of a paul weller haircut smokin camel fags and occasionaly dabbling in a bowt of domestic violence, you’ll probably answer Oasis. Followed by drunkily shoutin “Play some fukin kasabian or stone roses”
Well done to you for knowing three bands
Hopefully though, as many Oasis fans have yet to grasp the concept of reading and writing, they’re probably just stabbing wildly at buttons on their laptop until it starts playing Slide Away so they can collapse into a ketamin enduced coma
The more educated and fashionable of you will agree that Blur were clear winners in the battle of britpop. Just look at the line up. Alex James, Graham Coxon, Dave Rowntree and of course Damon Albarn. Every member an individual artist in their own right. Ok, maybe Alex James has gone a bit mad of recent years and started fermenting cheese on a farm and writing for The Guardian and Damon Albarn wrote and produced a Monkey Opera in the westend, but there is a thin line separating genius and insanity
Ranging from clattering rock in the form of Song 2, to mellow ballads like The Universal and classic anthms like Country House and Boys & Girls appearing of their 6 albums (compared to Oasis’s 4756 albums), Blur prove how it’s about quality not quantity
