I think blur are more creative . never really got into the verve . By blur being more creative I mean they can explore different genre ' s and styles with newer ideas . Oasis weren ' t about creativity though obvs they had it to a degree oasis were about big memorable life affirming generation defining songs . Noisy ferraris , bold and brash but very well made under the hood . Also creativity might not equal great songs . For my personal taste I loved blurs creativity but might not be to everyone ' s taste . Oasis do what they do probably better than any band I ' ve heard , melodic soaring anthems with some cool smaller tracks peppered around them . Think about other big acts . Michael Jackson not really oasis style , Queen ? More cheesy theatrical . Beatles ? I never saw the direct resemblance . nirvana ? Way more filthy and self loathing . rolling Stones ? Closer to oasis in attitude but more bluesy . Arctic monkeys ? More cerebral but similar northern vibe I suppose .
