why does /mu/ hate blur?

>>71901773
Because Oasis is so much better.

Blur's top 5 or so songs are better than Oasis's, but I'd say Oasis were more consistently decent.

Coffee and TV is miles ahead of anything Noel Gallagher has written

>>71901773
Blur<Oasis in Britshite

Blur>Oasis in overrall talent

>>71901773
Because they were mean to Nardwuar

>>71901965
Coffee and TV is a fucking masterpiece

>>71902112
All of Graham's songs were great. You're So Great is another brilliant one.

>>71901773
XTC is better

People always say that Damon is a cunt, but Dave was a fucking bully there.

>>71902160
XTC are better than most bands, not really a fair comparison

>>71902170
meant for >>71902088

Because Gorillaz are better than Blur in every way

>>71902187
Enjoying high school?

>>71902206
Gorillaz aren't metal though

>>71902224
Just banter lad

Does /mu/ ever need a reason to hate anything? I fucking enjoy the hell out of Blur, but I get shit on for it all the time, so be it -- bitches like what we like.

>release Leisure
>it's shit and nobody cares

>Graham Coxon starts listening to Pavement and tells his band that they should make this type of music to try to make it in America again
>try to make an American indie rock record with British wit to appeal to Americans
>Radiohead had already done this 2 years prior with The Bends except Radiohead just legitimately wanted to make this kind of music whereas Blur were just trying to capitalize on the US market since their homeland didn't give a shit anymore
>spend an entire album basically sucking America's dick
>it becomes a modest success for one song
>it dies out really quickly
>become forever known as "the Woo Hoo band" in the US
>meanwhile while Blur is Woo Hooing all over American Alt Rock stations Radiohead releases OK Computer, an album that becomes as iconic as The Dark Side of the Moon or Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band almost instantly upon release
>Blur continue their idea stealing pattern and decide to ripoff Radiohead for their next two albums

Alright dozy bollocks

>>71901965
It's the opposite though?

While Oasis was able to pull off the occasional great song, most Blur albums are very underrated and much more consistent than anything Oasis did after Morning Glory.

Oasis was better in 94-95 but blur was better in the end

>>71901965
All Oasis albums after Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants sound the same.

>>71902665
Pretty satisfying tobehonest. Radiohead and Oasis truly left Blur btfo.
