Oasis, Radiohead and Blur. The three greatest British bands of the '90s.

[I~LUV~Caddys8792]

Since last summer, I've been huge into British bands from the '90s. My favorites being Oasis and Radiohead. But now I'm JUST starting to listen to Blur also.

Is Blur pretty similar to Oasis? I remember someone telling me that those two were always in a competition to be the greatest band from that era, at least of that genre. I generally tend to like the more poppy, mainstream sound of Oasis more than the more alternative, artsy sound of Radiohead, but OK Computer was a phenomenal album, almost as good as (What's The Story) Morning Glory.

I'm listening to the samples of the "Best of Blur" now on iTunes, and their stuff definitely sounds more poppy and bubbly than Oasis's more harder rockin' stuff.

I guess I like Oasis because they're a modern version of the Stones in their prime, with a touch of the psychedelic flavor of the late Beatles, with a touch of the arrogance and bravado of '70s punk. From what I've heard so far, Blur sounds like early Beatles, mixed with perhaps a bit of early Elton John.

Anyways, '90s rock fans, what do you think? Oasis, Radiohead or Blur?

I've gotten good with Wonderwall on the drums in Rockband for PS3.

Soundgarden would be #1 for me.
Better Than Ezra and Radiohead second.

NSync

I've only heard three Oasis songs; Wonderwall, Lyla, and Don't look back in anger. But I like all three a lot. Really like Radiohead, but I have to be in the right mood. Never really listened to Blur, I'll have to look into them.

Never really heard any of these bands.... I mean I *heard* them maybe here or there on the radio, but don't know any song off hand at all.

I didn't until last July either. Then I was enlightened.

I love Blur!

Next CD I buy is probably gonna be Blur.

Radiohead is awesome. I want to give them another few years before I add them to my 10 greatest bands list.

Wow.... I'm not feeling that at all

Plus I don't like music that either creeps me out or makes me feel depressed/about something depressing.

Blur + BMW M5 = Brilliant

Wow, lol, looks like Radiohead just isn't for Rick. Radiohead is mood music, and it's generally not "good mood" music...most of it sounds a lot like Karma Police.

Rick, here's a "must have" list from Oasis....they're much more upbeat and rockish than Radiohead.

-Champagne Supernova
-Wonderwall
-Morning Glory
-Cigarettes and Alchohol (sp?)
-Digsy's Dinner
-All Around The World
-The Masterplan
-She's Electric
-Supersonic
-Married With Children

If I were you, I'd go out and buy their greatest album: (What's The Story) Morning Glory. It's the quintessential Oasis album, and it's their best selling album, not to mention the album's fantastic cover art.

So thats Blur?

I heard that song a while ago and liked it... never knew who it was. What other songs do they have? What about the other groups, what is popular?
