Wow. That is actually really tough!

I like Live Forever the best.
And then The Universal and then Common People.

But i like all of them so there isn’t much space between my choices!

I’d actually put them in the same order as you!

Live Forever is one of my fave Oasis songs while there are a few Blur songs I like more than The Universal and I’ve never really got into Pulp yet.

“The Universal” by Blur

Maybe its because “Common People” is a little played out for me but I’m going with Blur. I do it reluctantly because the lyrics are some of Jarvis Cocker’s most cutting and clever.

I love the video for “The Universal” but I think that you’re aware of my thing for dystopian fantasy on film.

“Live Forever” is a great song to sing aloud in the shower, the car or with a group of inebriated friends.

Live Oasis
