I actually prefer Blur myself. I like them both and Oasis definitely has some iconic classics. I’d really like Oasis at first listen but then get bored of them quickly. Also, I prefer Noel’s voice to Liam.
With Blur, I feel they had more going on musically. Graham is an amazing guitar player. I initially played bass and really liked Alex’s bass lines. I like listening to the interplay between instruments. Ironically, their most popular song was them goofing off imitating grunge.
Now Noel and Damon are friends and worked on stuff together.
