But Liam is a monkey turd

reside inside their own arseholes.

thing is

name one good song written by Liam Gallagher...

Damon writes better songs than Liam though.

I'm sorry but Albarn has more creativity in his index fingers than Liam Gallagher has at all. What's wrong with somebody progressing as an artist and exploring new challenges? Churning out turgid album after turgid album trying to recover the magic of over 10 years ago is very wrong.

Long live Damon Albarn.

is that in his head he's a hugely talented and influential contemporary composer, whereas he's actually just an ex-drama student with an ear for a good tune.

except he keeps ruining it by spouting off with some misguided rubbish (Jay Z off late). In interviews he seems funny, self aware and genuine. He also has a fine line in withering stares, perhaps developed after years off putting up with Liam's shenanigans.

Plus I don't think it's fair to really compare Blur and Oasis as they had separate 'ideologies' so to speak when it came to making music. Oasis have been happy to trot out that retro sound and be crowd pleasers where as Blur were more about adapting and evolving their sound to do different things. This is where your construct falls down a bit - people are allowed to change and grow up. If Albarn was still doing the cockney thing today it would be embarassing - a lot like Noel slagging off new bands when he has an album out in an attempt to drum up (unneeded) publicity.

Basically - Oasis - ripping off 2 bands
Blur - ripping off I'd probably say 6 over the course of their career.

Also why Liam? He's just an Ian Brown impersonator - Noel basically IS Oasis

No brains, wit, imagination or talent beyond that voice.

For 'Little James' alone, Liam loses.

is fantastic. constantly creative, ever-inventive, and isn't afraid to alienate people in order to make the music he wants to make. I saw Monkey at the theatre and it was absolutely breath-taking. The last time he put a foot wrong was during 1996.

And Damon is ana essex boy, not somne northern neanderthal. It's a lesser neanderthal yes, but one which I have a regional tie to.

Or The collaboration with Michael Nyman on the soundtrack to the film "Raveous".

Soz mate, Damon is about 500 trillion times more talented than Liam.

Not that I am not a fan of Liam, I like him a lot!

the most irrelevant discussion i've ever read.

this can all be summed up with a glorious microsoft paint masterpiece that i did as a wee 14-year-old really bored at school:

coxon is cool
noel is cool
albarn is meh

blur are better

Oasis have got flaccid in their rock potency and Noel is like your past it Uncle at your cousin's wedding wearing Ray Bans and a leather jacket I retain a soft spot for Liam, the cheeky scamp.
Damon is beyond smug. He had a wobbly at Lauren Laverne on a telly interview last night cos she referred to his cultural vulture tourism in Afrobeat as "world music".
What a tit.
Oi,oi!
Get some exercise!

just realised i missed Imagine on Damon's opera

Basically Liam Gallagher has been irrelivant since 1998

Damon has since produced some of his best work.

Oasis produced two great records at best.
Blur produced 4 or 5 and then Damon has done a shit load more.

who gives a shit if Damon 'can't make his mind up'. If his ideas are as great as they're turning out one by one, let him be a jack-of-all-trades

plus The Good, The Bad and The Queen looked fucking cool in their top hats

Liam is nothing more than the frontman of a band. Damon, while being a frontman, also did songwriting and production duties with various bands / projects (I'm not saying that that makes him better, I'm just saying). The comparison doesn't make sense.

i must've been 13 when the singles went head-to-head. I was in a car (an old Escort, the square type) with my friend who was older, two girls and a mate who was just always there; a kind of Chunk-type figure. We all loved Oasis and found this really big hilly street. It's actually a proper road, just a really steep drop. We all said that we'd take the handbrake off and if it was Oasis at No1 we'd brake and listen, if not we'd just see what happened. We let the car go, we were beyond half-way, i can't remember who was number three but it finished, Foxy started chatting... "here's number two....it's Bl....Oasis' <cue the start of Roll With It>, we all freaked out, but at the time were still happy because well, we were excited, and at the time that was their best song. We forgot to hit the brakes until we made the flat, then we all panicked and grabbed it, stopping just before the wall. Everyone was buzzing, singing, going mental. It's still probably one of the best moments of my life. If they'd have knocked it on the head after Morning Glory they'd have been legends. They didn't, and they're not, but for three years they were absolutely brilliant, and no matter what bands i like now, or what my friends pretend they like, putting their early work down as generic lad-rock is just ignorant. For at least two years they were the only band of any talent at all in Britain.

and shurely this should be some sort of time warp that we're in?

Buddy Holly vs Eddie Cochrane next please.

is that if he'd actually had something resembling an education, he'd be a lot more articulate and interesting. I always get the impression that he gets stifled or doesn't really know how to word what he wants to say. He's a very intelligent fella, if not somewhat illiterate. Having said that, I can't imagine Noel spent anymore time at school than Liam did so I'm probably talking shite.

Albarn is obviously the more talented musically, but Liam's voice in the mid-90's, specifically between '94 and '97, is probably the greatest thing I've ever heard, so he wins.

Shame these days he's totally lost it.

Arguing about music and musicians that stopped being relevant over a decade ago?

you must see this.
stop trying to justify your irrational gay love of liam gallagher.

I think it'd be Damon in terms of musicianship. Given that at least half of blurs album's are brilliant, both Gorillaz albums are atleast interesting pop ideas and his opera is actually pretty impressive.

Compare this to Liam throwing out AIDS wishes, shaking a tambourine and writing about 10% of Oasis' music it's a no contest.

instead.

dead heat.

Repetitive, boneheaded, predictable, lot of growing up still to do.

there are a few oasis songs i think awesome, but the 'feud' belongs in 1995 and if you're talking about sheer talent than damon clearly wins. i'm guessing liam is a nicer person though.
