There's
no denying that they are both giants of Mancunian (and, indeed,
global) music, both have had huge success and critical acclaim,
but are Oasis top dogs or are New Order the bee's knees?
Should
Oasis live forever or are New Order here to stay? Oasis or New Order
- who's the best?
Have
your say here!
From
Vicky in Stockport
NEW ORDER - no contest!
From Simon in Brussels
New Order/Joy Division is the closest thing Manchester has had
to a band the same stature as the Beatles. Oasis just ripped the
Beatles off. It's guitar good rock music but that's all. Besides
the Stone Roses had a role to play in the Oasis story.

slowly walking down the hall,faster than a cannonball....? what's
all that about??? Listening to joy division now,still makes the
hairs on the back of my neck stand up..NO CONTEST!!
From
John Chadwick, Savannah, GA, USA
I dont think its fair to compare the two. One hand gave us New Order
via Joy Division; our first taste of the Manchester scene to come.
The other produced the most influential UK Rock N Roll band since
the Beatles.
From
Joe Rafferty, Stockport
Theyre both great groups in their own right.

That´s not easy !New Order is the Brit Pop in a genius kind, BUT OASIS
is the british Rock´n´Roll and i don´t want to miss them ever . Oasis
is Rok ´n´rol !
From
Jacko, Manchester
Oasis without question. The biggest and most exciting band in decades,
still the best live act in the world. Live Forever, Cigarettes and
Alcohol? Epoch defining anthems of a generation.
From
Paul Madley, Widnes
The quality of pro-New Order vs pro-Oasis comment is quite revealing...
I'd vote for the genius of New Order (& Joy Division) over the low-brow
Oasis any day. But we should thank Oasis at least for helping keep
guitar-based pop alive, in a time when it seemed electronica would
devour all. If it weren't for the likes of Oasis, the likes of the
Manics, Suede, Placebo et al probably wouldn't have established themselves
as they have done...
From
Apri in Hungary
Oasis is Beatles for the car thieves, New Order is a creative band
with original ideas. New Order, no doubt
From
Barry Gibb
Hey, what about us?
From
Andy Black in Manchester
it's gotta be oasis
From
WRONGARTIST, manchester
NEW ORDER,NO CONTEST. JOY DIVISION REMAIN ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
BANDS IN THE WORD EVER AND NEW ORDER ARE STILL AS FRESH AND COOL AS
EVER. PURE CLASS.
From
Anon
NEW ORDER ARE A DAMN SIGHT BETTER THEN THE OASIS WILL EVER BE.
From
Steve Williams in Manchester
New
Order are in a different league they set the trends There is nothing
to compare. The Oasis are just beatles cover band goon show feeding
a market for deprived minds.
From
Billy Bradshaw in Stockport
New
Order- Without a doubt. They've been around for about 25 years and
acheived more than Oasis will ever acheive. I like Oasis but they're
no match for New Order.
From
Jonathan in Manchester
New
Order changed the face of modern music, Oasis simply raided its past.
From
Katie in Manchester
Oasis!
From
Chris Husing in Santa Clara, CA, USA
New
Order, having been Joy Division, nearly single-handedly established
the entire Mancunian music scene. Without New Order, there would not
have been Oasis. New Order have consistently put out great records--and
even the ones that weren't are still better than the "dip" in form
Oasis went through in the latter 90s...and some would say are still
going through.
