Here you will find a terrible attempt to analogize the New Labour experiment to Oasis: "Visit Oasis's Wikipedia page and the narrative eerily traces the birth, life and death of New Labour. The early Nineties are called 'Formation and first years'; 1995-98 are called 'The Battle of Britpop', which could be a chapter from Blair's biography; 1999-2000 are recorded as 'Line-up changes'; 2001-04 are 'Transitional years' (drummer Alastair Campbell, I mean Alan White, quit the band then); there was a "Resurgence in popularity" in 2005-2007. And now it's all over." You'd better believe there's a mention of Blur in there.
