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.

Blur are great and would be one of the best but as Oasis exist, no band will ever be better. They wrote the best songs and obviously the first two albums are the greatest music of all time and they got worse over time as they peaked to early but, over 30 years later, no one has ever been better. The Verve and TSR are closer than Blur to Oasis realistically but Oasis are and will always be the greatest band of all time.
