In 1995 two of the biggest bands in Britain went head to head in one of the biggest chart showdowns of all time. Those bands were Blur and Oasis. The songs were "Country House" and "Roll With It", both vying for the top spot. The UK public and press were captivated. It marked the end of Britpop as a fringe movement, transforming it into the most important idea in British music since punk. But it also signalled the beginning of the end, the inevitable over-saturation of the moment. But before that, who won the Britpop War?

Blur won the battle, Oasis won the war but then, Damon Albarn won the much larger war by being and continuing to be relevant across decades of music and influential in every genre from Shoegaze to hip-hop, basically changing what it means to make music and breaking down genre barriers while Oasis's biggest legacy is writing the most overplayed acoustic guitar song of all time.

a reader i agree BUT their self titled album is actually one of my least favorites by the band. I understand it's importance in developing their discography and helping them discover their sound but I feel like it is a bit too experimental for a band such as Blur. I think 13 was the fine balance between experimental and melodic that they were looking for and Blur (the album) was an important stepping stone in getting there :)

As you said at the end: Both bands more or less happily played along in this rivalry to sell more records. Without doing that, musicians can't really survive. I'm from Germany. I know some songs of both bands, but was never much interested in them. Same goes for most of the other bands mentioned for the britpop area, like The Verve or Pulp. I grew up on Coldplay around like 2002, Travis and Keane (not sure if they're all britpop) and bit later I discovered Radiohead. It simply wasn't the music that got (much) airplay or went to the charts. From what I gather from this video, it helps a lot to know the British culture, the themes, the band backgrounds, the different classes. I find these aspects very interesting. I would simply listen to these songs from today's standpoint and feel mostly indifferent.

I don’t think Blur (other than Damon) wanted the rivalry or war. They just wanted to make music. There’s a lot of creativity in Blur’s music. And in their careers they actually did that, even if they aren’t worldwide and known like Oasis are. I think just looking at the Graham stuff you mentioned, it’s clear they were kind of dragged into Damon’s playful competitive idea to beat Oasis to number one while Oasis seemed a lot more antagonistic. Just look at their Brit award speeches. After britpop, Blur evolved, but Oasis faded out after two albums.

The thing is, Oasis was great during the britpop days, after-which they would never make very good music. Blur was pretty damn solid during the britpop days, but they only got better and more interesting afterwards. I find that Blur were/are more interesting musicians because of how they are always ready to experiment in a different direction and never stayed in the same spot for too long. While Oasis kept doing Oasis things, Blur were out here making experimental rock on self-titled and 13, and taking north African influences on Think Tank. This is perhaps why I personally think Blur are more genuine artists seeing as they weren't afraid to jump off the trends they themselves created if it meant delving into a more interesting direction, they are undeniable ARTISTS. Oasis felt more like they were in it for the fame and the rock star life. Of course this is all my personal opinion. If I get found dead in a ditch, blame Oasis fans. I'm just here for an interesting discussion under an interesting video!

Liam Gallagher thinks he's morally a better person than Albarn, because he never got an education. No one makes a worthwhile career out of that sort of arrogant ignorance. Where Albarn insists on doing new things, showing a constant drive for innovation, the Gallaghers just want to rewrite the same great song over and over again, so they can get more adoring fans to yell with them in stadiums. It boils down to entertainment vs. art, and I think Liam would agree with pride. All that said, I've never cared for feuds like this, and I haven't even delved into britpop as such. I've followed a lot of what Albarn does closely, and kept up with Oasis, but that's about it. I only write this because the Oasis boys seem like they'd kick my teeth in if they ever heard me in concert, and I simply can't respect that sort of aggressive, misplaced arrogance.

I think Noel's latest album is exploring something new, but Liam seems to still be doing very Oasis style stuff. The thing is, the Gallaghers were always openely trying to be rockstars, or more specifically, rock and roll. They wanted to be the best. They wanted the fame. They wanted the fans. They wanted that wild lifestlye. They wanted to create anthems that would stand the test of time. It wasn't just about creating artistic music for them. They needed a lot of arrogance and ignorance to achieve this. It is part and parcel of rock and roll, and I think they were the last band yet to achieve it. I enjoy both Oasis and Blur, but I think Oasis very much achieved what they set out to do. Love them or hate them, the reason they got so big and the reason they continue to be adored and praised is because they had the balls to take on the world. And they won.

@@jayheaton648 I get that! I'm not trying to downplay Oasis's achievements, they were quite the phenomenon and to ignore the impact they had would be disrespectful. I suppose I judge the two bands from a different point of view. Rather than focus on the band as an entity, I'm judging solely on their music itself, if that makes sense. Oasis and Blur were very different in terms of their goals and the reason they wanted to make reason and honestly I think comparing them is pretty futile seeing as they were almost opposites in many ways.

During that time and throughout the 2000s I feel like Oasis' music stagnated and didn't release another good record like their first two records. I don't deny their legacy but Blur was more interesting.

So what? It doesn't change a thing. Experimental doesn't mean class. They had 1 good album, and an interesting song here and there. Kula Shaker for instance did much greater music that the overrated Radiohead. So did Queen, Oasis, Bee Gees, Kinks, Blur, Rolling Stones, ABBA (yes, ABBA!), Creedence, Pulp, Doors, Pink Floyd, and so on..Experimental means nothing if it's not mixed with greatness. I mean if Artie Kaplan wasn't trying so hard to be so "experimental" he had a chance to be great actually. So is Radiohead.

Think Tank was for all intents and purposes a Gorillaz record, in my opinion. I also played the hell out of that The Good, The Bad, and The Queen record.

wich ones ,oasis did had a limitation due to their choice in sound but blur did change from lp to lp and those two, parklife and great escape ,when played live were very interesting ,nothing to do with the sound of the lp´s more distortion on guitar ,a lot more and a guitar,drums , bass guitar and vocals nothing else and well played ,the years of career help

They were 2 very different bands with their own strengths- there was never a meaningful rivalry. Blur were more innovative, Oasis were more melodious.

I read a good quote on this. Oasis were the John Lennon of Britpop. Blur were the Lennon/McCartney.

What it boils down to is who evolved more. I couldn't imagine Oasis in a million years making an album like 13.

Oasis certainly evolved massively with their 4th and last album.

no x42 I don't really think they were to great lengths though. You couldn't believe the same band that wrote "Parklife" wrote "Song 2", "No distance Left to Run", "Caramel" or "Ambulance". With Oasis' evolution I still can picture Oasis making that music, which symbolizes how safe their music was sometimes.

Back then I liked two songs by Oasis - Live Forever and Supersonic. I never listen to them now. I still listen to Blur all of the time, and love many of their songs.

Just thought you should know: that quote from Noel doesn't come from the _Live Forever_ film, but from the BBC's _Seven Ages of Rock_ chapter on the Indie scene, "What the World is Waiting For".
