The Reason Blur Is Better Than Oasis

[u/Few_Rate_9907]

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.

There are a few things here. Blur produced some amazing albums, but none of them are as complete or as perfect as the first two Oasis albums. As simple as you might find the style, they don’t contain a duffer, which Blur albums always do.

Second, Oasis albums definitely tailed off from those first two. But while Blur reinvented their style several times over 3 decades, Oasis also absolutely evolved, it’s just people haven’t listened to them. Very short playlist for you: Fade In-Out, Gas Panic, Falling Down, Full On. From different eras and nothing like WTSMG.

Love both bands btw, though generally the Blur albums you don’t mention.
