During the stupidity of '95 when 'Blur or Oasis?' was being asked, the correct answer was actually 'Pulp'.

I'd have to disagree w/you here. I'm aware that the song "Common People" was treated w/reverence in 95. I've heard it, and I think it's o.k., but not super. Personally (personally :) ) I wouldn't put it above "Country House" or "Roll With It", which I believe were the two songs going at it around this time, two decades ago.

For what it's worth, Blur & Oasis are apples and oranges. One's a little more pop, the other a bit more rock. Both are good, depending upon what mood you're in.

When it comes to Pulp, I also think about the following:

Elastica - "Stutter"
Supergrass - "Alright"
Suede - "Metal Mickey"
Sleeper - "Inbetweener"
Menswear - "Daydreamer"

and a boatload of others...

Then I ask, where do they fit in on this scale?

Pulp, Suede, Manic Street Preachers, Elastica, then I start noticing that Blur and Oasis are there.

Of course, those are just my personal preferences, but it was no mistake that we inducted both Blur and Oasis first ballot in Revisited/Projected. I know that the RRHoF won't follow suit, but both bands were so culturally, commercially and musically iconic to the 90s that they both deserve it.

Old age is doing a number on me... first I forgot Weird Al, a few days ago, & now the Manic Street Preachers...

Of course, if they knew it, they'd have the inspiration to sing a certain song, perhaps...

"Nobody Loves You"

btw, I forgot about the Stone Roses here as well.

Aahhh, senility... let it wash over me!
