Just watched the video for "In Bloom" for the first time. Amusing.
Like Nirvana. Don't care for the little Oasis I've heard.

I've never liked Oasis, but there are a few Nirvana songs that I really like. Especially 'Heart-Shaped Box', love that one.

I guess that Nirvana and the reason is simple and common for many people I think. I have listened to Nirvana a lot when I was a kid, so I have the sentiment...

I feel I should vote Oasis as they dragged British pop/rock music out of the gutter of plastic overproduced nonsense that was littering the charts. They weren't the only ones though but they did seem to lead the movement. Noel Gallacher also admitted a fondness for Pink Floyd and The Wall that helps me warm to him a little. However I also remember Paul McCartney when presented with an Oasis song saying 'this sounds familiar' much to Noel's annoyance

Oasis made two good albums then regurgitated the same formula for the rest of their turgid, predicatble career. I also think Liam Gallagher is a talentless c**k.
Nirvana made two ok albums and one good one, before Cobain tragically died. I guess the boys from Seattle get my vote.
I was never a huge fan of either.

Not really a fan of either! Oasis were the best out of the Brit-pop bands and enlivened and rocked up the mainstream 90s pop scene and their Beatles influence was refreshing to start with - but after a couple of albums they got in a rut they never got out of. The Gallaghers are a bit of a pain in the media over here, though.
Nirvana and the grunge movement refreshed the hair rock era and their better songs have lasted well - but again, not a long legacy due to Kurt's passing, sadly. They obviously have by far the greater legacy worldwide so that has to swing it.
Has anyone ever done a Slade v Sweet v T Rex post/poll? The battle of the Brit glam rockers! Now that's worthy of a punt on progarchives! 😉

I don't know why but a lot of Prog Rock guys don't generally like Oasis. Contrary to the popular opinion, I do. Yes, the band did use lots of moon in june rhymes and they did have simple songs. But I think most of the Liam sung anthems (the Noel ones I can't stand) are quite nice. Songs like: Champagne Supernova and I'm Outta Time. Great chords and clever arrangements. Also, I'm a huge fan of Liam Gallagher's voice. The out-of-tune-ness and the "lazy accent" are charming in a way IMO. Liam's solo - As You Were is good too. Chinatown and For What It's Worth to me are the standout tracks.

Considering I've not listened to either for decades, and am unconcerned if I never hear them again, I suppose Nirvana.
