In the 90's, I would have said Oasis because it's closer to what I was into back then, but today, I vote for Blur because they sound like a more fun band.

Both are alright bands. I grew up in Britain in the 90s so I heard them more than I would have liked to. I always liked Oasis more between the two of them. Reminded me of The Beatles a bit.

I fell in love with Blur's "Girls & Boys" the first time I heard it on the radio. At the risk of basing my entire vote on just one song, it shall be Blur I vote for!

Both bands are nice, but never stood out for me... if I were to base my vote on something it would be the fact that Oasis had two whopping hits with Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger, which clearly win from Blur's Song 2!

So my vote goes to Oasis!! =)

Never was a fan of any of these bands but I will choose Blur because when I first listened to song 2 I fell in love with it instantly. Also I love to play girls and boys on lego rock band. I always liked oasis and never turn back in anger but my vote has to go to Blur this time

Oasis 2-5 Blur

This poll has run for several weeks, and it's time to freshen up with something rather different.

2 Tone was the style of music produced during the British Ska revival of the 1970s, which went onto influence Ska Punk of the 80s and 90s. Two of the foremost 2 Tone acts were:

The Specials

A message to you, Rudy
Nelson Mandela
Ghost Town
Too Much Too Young
Gangsters

VS

Madness

It must be Love
One Step Beyond
Baggy Trousers
House of Fun
Our House

I'd say Aerosmith beause i like them more

@Nikstex The current poll is on this page, and is between Madness and The Specials

Oh, well then. my vote goes to Madness

don't know these bands but to twist things a little I am just going to vote for both bands!

*Sigh* I leave it for a whole month and only accrue a score of 1-1. I will post a new poll soon, but I'm too tired to think of a good one just now. Suggestions would be appreciated.

@09philj

Avenged sevenfold vs slipknot could be a good one

Call me commercial on this one, but I prefer Madness for this round. They have catchy songs that make you bump your head the second you hear them! Can't argue with that! =)

As a suggestion... how about... Kaiser Chiefs -vs- Editors?!

Madness 2 Specials 1

Sorry, sorry, a lot of things have got in the way of me creating a new poll. As an apology, there will now be two, yes two whole polls! One main one with bands you might have heard of, and another one with more obscure bands bands you may not of heard of or listened to. (Unless you are very dedicated to listening to everything I post on "Right now I'm listening to...&quot

Main Poll

Kaiser Chiefs

I Predict a Riot
Ruby
The Angry Mob
Na Na Na Na Naa
Modern Way

~vs~

Editors

Munich
Blood
Camera
Bullets
An End Has A Start

Obscure bands Poll

Protomartyr

Maidenhead
Come & See
What the Wall said
Pagans
Scum, Rise!

-={VS}=-

Future of the Left

Arming Eritrea
Sheena is a t-shirt salesman
Johnny Borrell Afterlife
Manchasm
The Hope that House built

My votes:

Kaiser Chiefs. Their music is less depressed, and I don't like the voice of the Editors vocalist.

Future of the Left. Protomartyrs music is nice, but their vocalist sounds... uninspired. The other band is much more energetic and their singer is... definitely inspired :P
