And finally, they earned millions of quid, The Beatles/Radiohead/Blur only earned 6 shillings and thruppence.

Fact: Oasis is better than Radiohead

Mostly agree. I find Radiohead's music very derivative and at times completely pretentious in an offputting way. I think The Bends and In Rainbows and Hail to the Thief stack up as decent albums, but the rest of their material is ho hum. Of course, Oasis's shtick is also derivative, but they don't deny it.

Well… you can stack a pile of shit in front of me, no matter how big the pile is, it will always smell like shit to me.

I could come up with Blur songs that I find great but I really don’t see the point. You’re allowed not to like them one bit.

Back during the 90’s, I thought the Blur Vs Oasis feud was just a marketing tool to make them appear bigger than they were.

A rock critic that I like pinpoints the end of guitar oriented music as a driving force with the commercial rise of Oasis.
He basically says that, at that point in history, people got to choose between past and nostalgia (Oasis) or embrace the future (Blur) and they chose the past.

I’m just glad Damon Albarn was able to free himself from that, quite frankly, ridiculous and artificial feud and give us the gems he’s been producing since them (Gorillaz, Mali music, solo albums, etc…). Blur was his first incarnation and way to small a suit for his talent.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Blur for me.....EVERY TIME. The first 2 oasis albums were real good.....after that....BORE FEST. Blur are far more gifted musicians. Damon is a far more intsersting song creator that Noel G. And Liam doesnt even figure in things. Here he is 13 years after Oasis split, still doing the Oasis tribute act.

Ps, how i loved it when Blur beat Oasis to number one, way back in the day.
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

Ha ha !  Well said, Liam and Noel have always been legacy acts. Not their legacy, mind you.
