Blur were good, but they very never as big, never as interesting and never as good as Oasis. They may have won the first battle when Country House beat Roll With It to number 1 but Oasis would end the Britpop years victorious.
Defiantly Maybe was the best album of the decade and Whats the Story... was the biggest selling. Add that to the massive "gigs of the decade" at Knebworth they were the biggest band in the world.
Yes they had problems, the drugs got the best of them on the third album and band disputes made headlines, but thats what makes Oasis brilliant. They are interesting. They are proper rock n roll stars.
They are real people and like the Arctic Monkeys who followed they wrote songs people can relate to. Being on the doll, one night stands, a lot of alcohol and dreams they had as children. Ok not exactly the most groundbreaking topics ever, but people can relate and that's what made them a band of the people.
They were the last Rock and Rollers
