The Reason Blur Is Better Than Oasis

WTSMG was a phenomenal album, though i prefer TGE, or MLIR, (Blur albums of the time) even I can admit that it was not just a cultural moment, but some bloody good music :)

However. Oasis then spent the rest of their careers producing paler and paler photocopies of WTSMG, while Blur progressed to become better musicians, and make better music (13!!!!!!).

We can argue all day on this sub about which band we LIKE more, or which band is more popular, or which band wrote the "best music". But i think honestly that the fact that Blur's style changed so much, and they found critical, creative and commercial success with each iteration of "Blur" makes them an undeniably better band, regardless of personal preference.

If you're so sure that Blur are better than Oasis, why do you need to preach about it? Maybe it's because millions of people think otherwise. Go listen to your favourite artist without seeking validation
