Blur, no contest.

 

Don't listen to them now but absolutely loved them from She's So High to Parklife.

 

Ocean Colour Scene were fucking brutal. That song about the train is up there with my most hated songs.

 

Amen!

I’ve voted Blur but I do think they are very derivative. Albarn very talented at mimicking other bands style almost to the point of parody. Song 2 is a straight Nirvana parody, Beetlebum could have been on the Beatles White Album, Parklife or countryhouse the Kinks. Not sure what an actual Blur song sounds like. 

Yeah Beetlebum is a superb song.

Blur haunt me in work. 

 

My brain has got an annoying habit of making subconscious links to songs and giving me an earworm without telling me why. A fair part of my job involves procurement: inviting tenders and evaluating them when they come in.  Every time I'm working on a tender, I catch myself humming "Come on, Come on, Come on, Get through it..."

 

It's an annoying habit. Fortunately, I quite like the song.

All bands rip off other bands though, I never let that worry me too much. If I like the music then that’s good enough for me. 
 

It’s like the ‘Oasis ripped off the Beatles stuff’ (More like Slade if anyone who are actually another notable omission from this) but loads of bands do it. Karma Police rips off Sexy Sadie by The Beatles. Start by The Jam is obviously taken from Taxman. Badlands by Springsteen rips off Don’t let me be misunderstood by The Animals. 
 

As long as the song is good what’s the issue?

Liam Gallagher just copied John Lennon’s hairstyles.

I don’t think Blur rip off specific songs, they copy musical styles so different songs sound like different bands. It’s very well done though and I think they are a strong contender to lose to Pink Floyd in the final. 

The Stones and Zeppelin will trample everyone in front of them towards the final, rightly or wrongly (mostly rightly).
