BOT 90 albums: Modern Life is Rubbish - Blur v What's the Story Morning Glory - Oasis

Last tie of R1

Fatshrimp v Kingshrimper

As much as I dislike the Gallagher brothers as individuals, you can't argue too much against their music and this album was the soundtrack to that particular period of my life. So many belting songs on here that were massive, massive anthems.

I loved Oasis at that time and this album was them at their peak. I saw them several times: Cliffs, Wembley twice, Maine Road, Earls Court & Knebworth. Great days out all of them.

Vote WtSMG!

Modern Life is Rubbish for me - a superb album which displays the kind of songwriting and musicianship that the Gallaghers could only dream of. Blur's finest hour.

Oasis for me as Damon Albarn is a knob, and so is Alex James, but only more so.

Damon Albarn's always been irritating but that doesn't take away from the fact that Blur could be really good. Oasis were certainly an enigma, the deeply conservative spokesmonkies for a strangely regressive musical movement. Manchester, so much to answer for.

 

[Ricky Otto]

I know this is my nomination but i'm struggling to pick between these two, tough draw

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Blur, MLIR is their best album imho. And Coxon is arguably the best guitarist of his generation and influenced so many - even Slipknot.

 

[Ricky Otto]

I voted in favour of Blur, tough one though and whoever goes through stands a good chance in the next round

 

[Greebosan]

Have reason to dislike both these - Blur was blasted out literally non-stop by my neighbour for hours at a time, and Oasis was the fodder of choice for some utterly infuriating university peeps. Still, I did like Oasis, despite it all, and never really took to Blur, so Oasis it is.

They both lose lots of points for being involved in that absurd Blur -v- Oasis 'battle'. Embarrassing creation of the music press.

Oasis through.
