Todays POLL!

[Liam]

Simple, Britrock ruled the world (...well, at least the UK ) at one point, and these were the three biggest exponents of it. Blur and Oasis were the obvious choices, but I threw Pulp in as an outside shot, because some of thier stuff was pretty damn good also.

I know a lot of people are a bit "zOMG these bands are rubbish", but I know a lot of people like them also, so works for me.

[stokeriño]

I liked them all back in the day, but Blur are the ones that I'm most likely to actually throw on and listen to again.

[Summers]

Song 2 > Every other song by those bands.

they're all shit, really, too.

[Skummy]

Pulp.

They're a vastly under-rated band, and people don't realise just how long they've been around, as they far outdate any of the other "Britpop" bands of the 90s. If I remember correctly, their first album was released in 1979.

The album version of Common People, Lipgloss, Sorted For Es and Whizz and especially Being Followed Home, which is an excellent almost gothic dark epic, but still intrinsically Pulp, are far superior to anything by either of the other two options.

Blur are a good band, but pale in comparison to Pulp. And I've only ever liked one Oasis song, and that was The Importance Of Being Idle, and even that is decidely average.

[Liam]

Pulp get my vote as well.

I'm a fan of the other two, but Different Class is one of my favourite albums of all time, and Pulp are vastly under-rated.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Blur. It was alright, better than either of the other two, and Damon Albarn swings the vote for me.

[Clawson]

You get one guess at which one I picked and if you guess wrong I hold all rights to smack you a few times.

[Benji]

Closed and moved to Archives.

[DFF]

Pulp. For two reasons.

1. I love "Common People".

2. They are from Sheffield.

Oasis are generally good though, as are Blur.

[GoGo Yubari]

I have to abstain on Pulp because I've only heard Common People from them, but Blur are miles ahead of Oasis so they get my vote.

[YI]

All really good, and I was into all 3 majorly at 1 point. However Oasis really have to win. Due to them being the only band I fairly reguarly listen to. Plus I know a guy who just plays oasis songs on his guitar, so it's good to have a bit sing-a-long. Nothing beats singing along to a one man guitared version of "She is Love" and "Champagne Supernova" to cheer you up after a shit day.

Blur got the nod for me. Couldn't really stand Pulp back in the day although Common People was a good song. Oasis I'm sort of into but suffers from most of their stuff sounding the same to me. Blur though are superb. Country House and Parklife > *
