15 years ago, during the summer of 1995, a battle raged on between two bands leading the so-called Britpop genre. One day they decided to each release a single on the same day (August 14th) and ‘battle’ it out. Oasis released “Roll With It” and Blur released “Country House,” which won out, topping the UK charts at #1, while Oasis only made it to #2. Long before Damon Albarn hid behind a cartoon to make Gorillaz’s P-fork approved music, he was busy dressing up in British schoolboy outfits. Call me crazy, but I like it better.
