Time and hindsight decided that Oasis were more quintessentially Brit 90's, while Blur were an actual band with original songs.

Noel Gallagher is currently drafting his response to this, calling me a prick or whatever

Also the answer is, was and always will be Pulp

Blur.

They were like Oasis but without the bullshit.

In fact they're nothing like Oasis. Thankfully.

As someone has said the answer is in fact Pulp.

Oasis were a band of their time, that time being the 60s, dreadful stuff.

She says, "There's ants in the carpet"

The dirty little monsters, eating all the morsels

Just pickin' up the rubbish

Give her effervescence, she needs a little sparkle

Good morning TV, you're looking so healthy.

Oasis won, Blur faded to beige. Even their big hits are forgettable compared to most tracks Oasis put out.

Shouts for M people.

Mate, Nirvana weren’t even the best band in Seattle

The battle between Oasis and Blur was won by Oasis, which was the battle for second place behind Pulp.

Thats like asking which is better a shit sandwich or a glass of piss.

Both are equally bad choices, and I’d rather go without thanks.

Well, quite. While Blur and Oasis were battling it out I wasn’t even vaguely interested because I was busy going to see Carter, PWEI, Ned’s, Senser, Therapy, Levellers, and 101 other great alternative bands.

But with the benefit of hindsight Blur were ace. Oasis weren’t.

Pretty much this

Britpop was the diet, chemically sweetened, over commercialised version of Indie, all wrapped up in shiny packaging for the kids- which is why they needed a hero and villain battle to promote it.

That said, the work of Damon Albarn and Greame Coxon outside of Blur kind of tell you which of the two acts had proper, talented musicians and not just a couple of chancers who pretty much started a Beatles tribute act and didn’t really change much for the following 3 decades
