Which British music rivalry actually pushed both sides to make better music?
Britain loves a good musical feud, from tabloid war to genuine artistic one-upmanship. But which rivalry actually raised the bar rather than just filling column inches?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Blur vs Oasis
Country House versus Roll With It, middle-class art students against working-class swagger. It defined a decade and sold a lot of newspapers.
B
The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones
The original manufactured rivalry that actually pushed both bands to unprecedented creative heights throughout the 60s.
C
Damon Albarn vs Noel Gallagher
Decades of sniping, occasional handshakes and endless interview bait. Somehow still relevant every time either releases something.
D
Stone Roses vs Happy Mondays
Two bands, one scene, endless arguments about who truly captured the baggy spirit of late-80s Manchester.
E
Stormzy vs Wiley
The godfather versus the new king, played out in diss tracks and Twitter meltdowns. Messy, but undeniably kept grime in the headlines.
