both artists are great (blur and oasis) both create a different feeling, blurs music is undeniably deeper and probably more intelligent, but oasis is simple genius and genuine rock n'roll. it just depends what feeling you like more
Look how beautiful of a man Damon Albarn is. He looks so innocent yet his voice is so deep and uncharacteristic to what you'd think he would sound like. I am going to meet that man one day. Oasis and Blur are no comparison. They're in the word of Herman Cain "apples and oranges". You can't compare Beethoven to The Beatles can you?
best band, best song, best music video, revolutionary. Although i have a love and hate relationship for coxon for leaving, still guy's a great guitar player
i used to be a massive oasis fan but then i grew up. there is only so much 'lad rock' you can take before you get bored out of your head !. ....now im more into Blur and Radiohead :)
@woohoopopsucks who mentioned complexity? i like radiohead because they try to move foward. Oasis made 2 undeniably good albums but even Noel admits hes made some bad songs. maybe you should open your mind.
Move forward??out of ur fucking mind??Its boring shit.I like radiohead and I have all their albums but seriously stop saying that Radiohead and BLur are better than Oasis.Have u heard noels solo album??Oasis's Dig out ur soul??Dude moving forward has nothing to do with music being better.Oasis not changing their style doesnt mean that Radiohead is better.
im surprised how many comments about oasis there are on blur videos. shows how much influence the media has on music and music fans. cumonnn cant we all just get along. oasis make great music, blur make great music and they both make good use of violins.
@MikaShelley99 well theres hundreds of millions of people in the world who completely disagree with you but i guess your oppinion is more important than theirs. makes sence
@shitstainedb4lls I have no fkn clue what you are talking about but I rarely rate the opinion of people who can't spell 'sense' properly so we'll just ignore you and move on
@shitstainedb4lls There are many more people in the world who know of them and choose to listen to them. There are many hundreds of millions who like Cliff Richard, Take that, The Spice Girls, Aqua. I guess, by your reasoning, I must be wrong about these bands being talentless tripe too then. Oasis are just sh!t. Sorry. Just a tired boring wailing dirge, meaningless boring songs one after the other. Sorry to burst your bubble
@shitstainedb4lls i totally agree with,i love oasis and i love blur,doesn't seem to be many people who think the same as me,i personally think oasis have better songs ,i do really like some of blur's songs though and like some people i think liam is a total tool
Fucking amazing...I'm an American but I have to say I'm really a Brit at Heart! I drive a Land rover, play bass on ashdown amps and Brit Rock is my favorite! Thanks UK! :)
Except this was 1995. And Damon was still going through a 'football casual' phase. It was fashionable to wear Fila and the like at that time, and he did it more stylishly than most.
i think if that blur is better than oasis because oasis is just wonderwall, wonderwall is a sht song tbh people just like it because its was friggen uk mainstream
All Oasis got is Wonderwall, typical first album hit and thats it. You CAN say their other singles are good too, but don't they all sound the same to you? It's boring...
Oasis were great throughout their careers, exploring new types of music and always doing something new. Blur > Oasis.
@HLGGanoth i prefer blue to oasis but its the second album hit xD and btw i hate wonderwall-.- most americans only know oasis for wonderwall, Oasis in england is the real sht in america is wonderwallsht
I'm American and have listened to MANY of their songs. They just seem kinda "Typical" to me is all. Liam sings a verse and the last note he sings drags on for like 5 seconds, leading into the chorus which mostly involves very little guitar changes from the verse, (This is repeated twice) then it's followed by a 30-60 second solo, then repeats the verse 4 times (Which seems like FOREVER! Take "Stand By Me" as a reference) and the song ends.
I like Oasis and Blur, but Blur was much more versatile. They tried so many different styles and sounded always authentic and competent. Oasis had great songs too, but they attached too much importance to guitars, in my opinion. Many songs sounded alike. Blurs arrangements were more polished and varied.
Damon esta más viejito u.u pero deberia afeitarse y dejarse su pelo asi de ochentero y se veria genial jaja xD pero igual sigue siendo el mismo de siempre ;D
You could really tell damon wanted more then just a 4 piece rock band with this song, its almost the sign of things to come - theres no way blur could have continued with damon ambitions violins, trumpets, choirs are damons comfort field and we all love him for being so experimental
@SweetMatheson Noel is great ... I don't like all Oasis stuff, I like mainly the early stuff ... I saw him doing an accoustic set and it was amazing ... it doesn't stop me from loving Blur ... nor think that Liam Gallagher is a complete tool
the best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best BAND OF THE HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!
How fucking great would it have been if the 'Battle of Britpop' had been The Universal VS Whatever or Wonderwall instead of the 2 shit songs both bands picked.
LOVE this version of arguably the best song Blur ever did.
Ignitionnet,your right it is just your opinion but I don't agree.I am not a huge fan of Blur,only because I don't listen to them much,however,this is a brilliant version of a fantastic song.
what he's playing on the album 'modern life is rubbish' is really hard to do. i thought he was just another bass player, until i bought that album a few weeks ago.
The best Blur song together with Country House... Amazing... Oasis are a fantastic band, but this song is incomparable... Not even Live Forever is a great as this one... Blur FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm also a declared Oasis fan, but I think is childish to dismiss Blur's great musical catalog. i find pathetic that people still argue about which of the two was the most emblematic of that period. Both are fantastic bands, both are legendary, both made a huge impact in British music.
Well let's put it this way. Blur played pop music, granted that beetlebum and song 2 and this one were good songs. Songs like parktown and girls like boys just turned me off from them in the beginning. Never really got into them, so my view of the band is that they are a pop band, that had obvious talent as seen in this song, but never carried through with their talent how I would have wished them to. Oasis did.
I was just saying this was one the few songs of their I enjoy.
Parktown? Girls like boys? It's Parklife and Girls & Boys for starters, two huge singles from their Parklife album which defined the same era Oasis made their name. Also, if you knew anything about the band and how they progressed from their debut 'Leisure' album to their latter two "13" and "Think Tank" you'd know they were not a pop band as you like to put it. Their sound evolved album by album as they started to experiment.. they showed their talent by continually making excellent (cont.)
albums despite changing their sound. The same can't be said about Oasis who have barely changed a thing and have made samey samey records throughout their career.
Gorgeous song, captures decline. The wee confused kid, how did he learn guitar that good, must've been practising from he was 6 months. Damon is like a boy Edie Sedgewick, can't keep your eyes off him.
Rewatched it, and yeah, he probably isn't. It just looked like his mic stand was higher than usual, so he was leaning up toward it. When I watched this before, it was right after watching the video for "On Your Own," which had the whole "D'You Know What I Mean" parody at the beginning, so I probably had Oasis mocking on the brain. Brilliant performance, regardless.
On Your Own does not have an Oasis parody anywhere. Damon and Blur could have cared less about Oasis. Specially in 2003. It's been 14 years since that whole bullshit media fueled feud. Give it a rest.
If he is 'taking the piss at Liam Gallagher's mic stance', which i really doubt he is - then start referring to it as Damon Albarn's mic stance.. and deservedly so, as Oasis would never be able to write anything near as musically brilliant as 'The Universal.'
It's a trip. i like to listen to the music I did when i was a small child. Blur's good. Remember Gorillaz-Not a coincidense. don't inform me anyone. i've been a long time fan of both blur and gorillaz. : )
como me gusta este tema!! :D

Gorgeous song, captures decline. The wee confused kid, how did he learn guitar that good, must've been practising from he was 6 months. Damon is like a boy Edie Sedgewick, can't keep your eyes off him.

Love this performance! Damon's voice is so rich. Funny how he's taking the piss at Liam Gallagher's mic stance here...

Rewatched it, and yeah, he probably isn't. It just looked like his mic stand was higher than usual, so he was leaning up toward it. When I watched this before, it was right after watching the video for "On Your Own," which had the whole "D'You Know What I Mean" parody at the beginning, so I probably had Oasis mocking on the brain. Brilliant performance, regardless.

On Your Own does not have an Oasis parody anywhere. Damon and Blur could have cared less about Oasis. Specially in 2003. It's been 14 years since that whole bullshit media fueled feud. Give it a rest.

If he is 'taking the piss at Liam Gallagher's mic stance', which i really doubt he is - then start referring to it as Damon Albarn's mic stance.. and deservedly so, as Oasis would never be able to write anything near as musically brilliant as 'The Universal.'

It's a trip. i like to listen to the music I did when i was a small child. Blur's good. Remember Gorillaz-Not a coincidense. don't inform me anyone. i've been a long time fan of both blur and gorillaz. : )
