Blur tonight. From the Popscene ep from 1992 - Mace. I always loved this band. I could never quite figure out the whole Blur vs. Oasis thing - I suspect it was more a publicity device than anything else. It was a bit like the Beatles vs. Rolling Stones supposed rivalry in the 60s. It was and is still possible to like both bands and their music and not play favorites. Especially on a Friday night.
Life is too short anyway.

Blur were very clever, often drifting into clever-clever which somehow meant the lacked the common touch. Oasis had the common touch in spades, which resonated with people but it ended up feeling a bit meaningless.
The ones who had the best blend of smarts and common touch were Pulp.
