  1. I've gone for England, even though I've got a bad feeling about this one.

    This made me laugh on the bbc site:

    HOW TO WIND UP AN AUSSIE

    Ask them which part of New Zealand they're from

    Sing God Save Your Gracious Queen

    Ask them what their grandfather did for a living

    Show them the real Ashes trophy at Lord's

    Get them to list their contribution to world culture

    Ask them which pub they work in

    Tell them Rolf Harris is moving back to Oz

  2. It's God and Southgate by a mile.

    I've got a soft spot for Teale though, and always remember George Gavin's comment on Radio WM after the Villa - Man U final - "He kicked everything that moved, and if it didn't move he kicked it till it did." :) :) :)

  3. Oasis ripped off a song called "How Sweet is it to be an idiot" for Whatever too. I think that's why it wasn't on any album.

    Also, the chorus for Blur's MOR was stolen wholesale from Bowie's Boys Keep Swinging.

  4. No-one's given a decent answer as to why they think Oasis are better. If you ever wanted an example of why Blur are better, it would appear that the Kinks have been a big influence on Noel's writing for Oasis' latest. Erm, didn't he realise Blur were doing that 11 years ago!

    Although I much prefer Blur, I don't see how Noel admitting that he's influenced by the Kinks shows that they're crap. Surely every band goes through stages of being influenced by different bands. For example, Blur were influenced by the Kinks during Parklife/The Great Escape, by Pavement during the Blur album and by African music on Thinktank. If you listen to the last three Blur albums there's barely any Kink-esque stuff on there.

    Anyway, none of this excuses Oasis from being unable to write a decent tune since Morning Glory (and come on, admit it, that includes the new album!)

  5. Today Blur are more intresting to listen too, but 10 years ago Oasis were the Daddy. Oasis win for me because of Definitly Maybe. The second best album of the 90s.

    That's a post just gagging to be asked what the best album of the 90s is! :D What is it then?

  6. It's like 1995 all over again. If I close my eyes I can visualise (extra points for using Pulp lyrics) the cover of NME featuring Liam and Damon in a boxing ring - it's enough to bring a tear to my eye.

    Anyway, Blur by a country mile.
