Neither were anywhere close to the best of their output, think ‘The Charlatans song which was out same week was way better than either of them.

Radiohead - "Just" was out around that time.
Alanis Morissette "You Oughta Know" entered the top 40 a couple of weeks earlier and was better than both of them. That song was one that climbed slowly, rare at the time. The album climbed even slower, taking several months to get into the top 10 and spending a load of weeks at #1 in the summer of 1996.
Both, however, are far better than "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson.

I'd agree "Roll With It" isn't up there as a classic among Oasis songs but it's still a pretty good song.
I do like Country House among my favourite Blur songs though, I prefer this kind of laddish-pop, which I reckon was mostly Alex James' influence, to the more dreary or rockish stuff which was probably Damon Albarn or Graham Coxon. Not sure about Dave Rowntree, and the songs all credit all of them as co-writers but usually one member is more behind a song than others, and I can only judge by what they did outside the band as to that member's sound.

Didn't like them at the time, don't particularly like them now.

Purely going by the two underwhelming songs I preferred Blur's Chas & Dave cockney knees up effort with its Carry On themed video; over Oasis' then worst single to date which sounded like they were covering a 1970s Status Quo B-side. However, going by the CD singles; then Oasis wins because this should have been the A-side:
In retrospect neither were the best new entry that week. That honour belonged to The Charlatans "Just When You're Thinkin' Things Over" at #12.

Looking back at that chart, and my favourite new entry that week was Alison Moyet 'Solid Wood' at #44.
