    Concuerdo con el de más abajo, ya que, si nos vamos a adentrar en esa ridícula rivalidad nacionalistoide pop que se prestó Oasis y Blur entre el 94 y 96, el que llevaría la delantera en popularidad sería Oasis (gracias a sus mejores discos, sin duda). Pero para 1997, artísticamente terminaría superando Blur, con un disco infinitamente mejor que "Be Here Now" de Oasis, en donde empiezan a salirse del molde pop, para ir por otros caminos y hacer una música más áspera, tomando otras vías e influencias. Algo en lo que ahondarían mucho más en "13" (1999), su álbum siguiente, el mejor para mí.
