Oasis

[roverthtaeh]

Oasis? You jest. They have not penned a song worth of inclusion in the top million, not cut an album good enough to be used as a coaster, and not impressed any grown-ups with their infantile behaviour.

Tikay? You jest. Sales speak for themselves. Artists don't 'cut' albums anymore. By 'grown-ups', do you mean the over 60's?

Hehehe... it's a good thing when old people don't like a band!

Tikay is still upset since the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, that was the last artist he saw Live

Cue Mozart album poll thread......

Have to say i like many have tired of oasis as i have got older, but the first 2 albums and the b-sides to the singles (alot ended up on the masterplan) were top notch.

I voted for definatley maybe, that raw sound of growing in a working class area of Manchester and just wanting to get out and be something was never able to be replicated due to the success it brought them. As a 14 year old lad when it came out tho it was the kind of music i was looking for and is certainly partly responsible for my taste in music even today. Hey i may never have discovered The Smiths, The Stone Roses etc if it wasn't for this album.

The sales mean nothing - except to indicate that the buyers were starved of decent quality music, so they had to buy junk, such as Oasis, or The Smiths.

In the 60's & 70's we were treated to real quality music. Beatles, Eagles, The Hollies, Floyd, Yardbirds, ELP, ELO, Yes, Eric Clapton in his various guises, Genesis, Dire Straits, Rod Stewart, Deep Purple, all of these & hundreds more had more talent in their fingernails than Oasis & The Smiths had in total. Some of them could actually sing, or play their own instruments. Some of them even turned up to play their gigs..........

And who do you think were the greatest inspiration to Oasis? Which famous group can you hear in a lot of their songs?
"The sales mean nothing"..... that must make the Beatles shite then.

The Beatles were not an inspiration to Oasis, Oasis simply copied & lived off Beatles material.

Can you seriously suggest that any living songwriter or lyricist can surpass Imagine, SPLHCB, A Day in the Life, When I'm 64, She's Leaving Home, Norweigan Wood, and a hunderd other masterpieces?

Purlease!

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64......

No living songwriter could surpass that, you're quite right.

[Royal Flush]

Oasis were/are the best band of 'my' generation. They are the nuts.

Tikay you are too old for music anyway

[Colchester Kev]

The Beach Boys. I win.

When I mentioned Revolver, I was trying to make the same point as you funnily enough. It's similar with the Strokes, they're a copy of Velvet Underground/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
