Hate to break it to you, but yes, you are this old 😬
It’s hard to believe that it’s been exactly 25 years since Britpop bands Oasis and Blur competed in one of the most iconic music chart battles.
Both bands were two of the most successful to emerge from the rock music scene in the 90s, and although both had been respectful towards one another earlier in their careers, things quickly turned sour once Oasis scored their first number one single with Some Might Say in April.It was a competition like no other, that focused on social class just as much as music – a group of working class Northerners, up against a selection of middle class men from Southern England, who had attended university.
One could argue that part of the reason for Blur’s success was attributed to the fact they had released two CD singles for the song, one which included live tracks from their Mile End gig from June, 1995. The Battle Of Britpop arguably became the most important British music rivalry since The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in the 1960s, but even that was met with a more civil approach.Earlier this year, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher angrily responded to his brother Noel’s claim that the feud between the bandsDamon had reportedly slept with a mystery woman Liam had been dating, leading to the fallout.
