Oh, and Re the "meaningless lyrics"...
"Back into the hole where I was born / The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me"
"Coming in a mess, going out in style, / I ain't good looking, but I'm someone's child / No one can give me the air that's mine to breath"
"Get up off the floor and believe in life, / No one's ever gonna ever ask you twice"
Suck it, hipster.

What absolute bullshit. So much for journalistic integrity, paying some hipster to write an article claiming that a bunch of ... are better than Oasis.

I like Blur, but I think they got a lot better once they dropped the Britpop thing personally. I never really considered them to sound that similar. Sort of like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, all they really shared was being huge at the same time. Blur and 13 are great albums that are better than anything Oasis did after them.
The 2 areas where I give Blur the clear advantage over Oasis is in guitarist and choosing Country House as the lead single off The Great Escape.
I personally just love that in 2015 Noel and Blur can both release great albums that still get critical acclaim and appear on the biggest US late night TV show within a week of each other. When you think about it, that's pretty big for guys that peaked 15-20 years ago and never 'made it' in America (aside Wonderwall and Song 2). Those aren't things that other big 90s bands can say (look at recent albums by RHCP and Smashing Pumpkins).
Also you're standing on a mighty high horse for criticizing lyrics when D'You What I Mean was released a couple months after Song 2.

That article is really funny.
Culture impact: Oasis Worldwide success: Oasis Biggest band after 20 years: Oasis Albums Sales: Oasis (70M vs. 14M) Best selling album: Oasis Most popular song: Oasis Singles Sales: Oasis (Guinness World Record in UK for the longest Top 20 run) Gigs Worldwide: Oasis Critical acclamation: Blur Awards: Oasis (Brits, Mercury Prize, Grammy, NME, MTV Music + NME).
Those above are facts. Oasis 9-1 Blur. I can give +1 to Blur for the Roll With It vs. Country House battle, but I think that the story was pretty embarassing for them since (What's the story) Morning Glory sold more albums than Blur's discography. After those facts "taste" comes and play. So maybe for you Blur are better than Oasis, for me not. There's no truth, but in the world there are more people liking Oasis, that's it.

As much as I like Blur, the spotty goofballs who love them always put me off.
There's a huge amount of people that think by associating themselves with Oasis you are admitting you have limited taste/knowledge in music. Where as Blur are part of the arty sophisticated batch of bands that Journalists love.
When Liam said Radiohead fans are ugly it was obviously a joke remark. But I think there's an element of truth to it. Journalists hate rock stars like Liam. He is everything they ever wanted to be. With bands with ugly fuckers like Radiohead, they feel more like they can relate to their boz eyes
