Should I ? Options

I don't know if it's a good idea to bring this up, but here it is. Should I play Morrowind before I play Oblivion ?
I have already started Oblivion but havn't gotten too far yet. I had not played any Elder Scroll game before, so I was wondering if I would be better off playing Morrowind to get a feel of the history or story lines before I got into Oblivion. I have read so many posts by people that have played previous Elder Scroll games and it seems that they have such a good grasp of the game before they start on Oblivion. I know this is all subject to personal opinion but I would like to hear what you experienced Elder Scroll players think. What say ya ?

I agree with HyPNO that Morrowind is the better game. And you don't have to play it to understand Oblivion, as everyone is saying. But Morrowind just seems more imbedded in the Elder Scrolls lore and is so enjoyable to play. There's just something missing about Oblivion for me, so far anyway ... can't put my finger on it exactly. But maybe after more Oblivion time it will grow on me or I'll figure out what is lacking that Morrowind had is such abundance.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?
