One of the big rock rivalries was the one between Blur and Oasis at the height of Britpop in the mid-90s. What started it? No one involved ever said, although there are theories that it had to do with a woman. Regardless, the legend of the feud lives on even though Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn have long since made up. I love this story, though.
Years ago, Oasis bought a vintage mixing desk from a studio in Australia and had it sent back to England. A producer who was working at the studio at the time of the sale thought it would be funny if he carved the word “Blur” on the inside. The console was then boxed up and sent to England, where it was then used by Oasis to make music.
I wonder if they ever found out about this?
