Blur vs Oasis

It's been what nearly 25 years since the Britpop war between Blur and Oasis peaked.  Let's cut to the chase - there was, and is, only one winner.  By a country mile (not a country house - because that was their only serious misstep), Blur won.  Their music is better, more varied and stands the test of time.  I still listen to Blur now - There's No Other Way is great, and Coffee & TV is one of my favorite tunes ever (and the album that is from - 13 - is great as well) - whereas I don't listen to Oasis at all, and am totally indifferent to any of their stuff now.  Oasis may have won karaoke with Wonderwall, but Blur won sports stadiums with Song 2.
