SS,

And Your Bird Can Sing into For No One is such a great combo, definitely agree about that song. Top 10-15ish song into top 1 song

When I was a DJ one night I had a gig at a redneck biker bar outside town.

The security guy got into a fight with a patron. Was pretty involved, rolling around, knocking barstools over

I switched from playing rock over to "All You Need Is Love."

Got a few laughs at the end

Revolver and Rubber Soul are their best 2 albums

Extremely overrated

+1

There was a moment in the 90s when I’d say they reached Beatles level mania. Not sure I could say that about anyone else

THIS IS FALSE.

+2

Except in Liam Gallagher's head, apparently. At Oasis' height in the Nineties he told an interviewer, 'I'm [up] there. I'm with the Beatles.' More recently he went one better, asserting, 'What we did in three years took the Beatles eight.'

If he was comparing Oasis with, say, the Dave Clark Five, or, perhaps, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich (who sold more singles in Germany in 1966 than the Beatles, plus Dave Dee has legendary status as the police cadet who attended the scene of Eddie Cochran's fatal road accident on the A4 at Chippenham, in which Gene Vincent was also seriously injured but survived), that might work, but comparing yourself with the Beatles is just going to make you look silly.

best band ever. noel is genius

yep

One good album (the first) does not a great band make.

Also lol Audience sizes

cf Coldplay - one of the worst so-called "good bands" of all time.



In the 60s and 70s disposable income was severely limited, and audience sizes smaller.

who even listens to Oasis any more?

I was in my twenties when they were big. I didn't care for them then, and I can't even remember one of their songs now.

Don't forget The Monkees, they outsold The Beatles in 1967.

Yeah not a fan of Oasis. Music was mediocre and obv both Gallaghers being prize ***** didn't help.

Definitely Maybe and What’s the Story, Morning Glory? are both classics.

i prolly avg ~15 mins/day of oasis stuff/new noel solo stuff

--

liam's voice started to go as early as '97 and went completely up the wall circa '02, but the live stuff prior to '97 is unbeatable

Not in my opinion.

I have followed music since the mid-sixties. Grew from Beatles pop to Black Sabbath/Grand Funk/Led Zep etc rock to grunge to blues. (I passed over disco, hair-band, rap, heavy). I have over 750G of digitized music. Never felt the need to add Oasis....never really heard of them. Are they primarily AM pop?

over here they were known as britpop

rock/pop i guess

Gallagher interviews are hilarious

there's always one

I did like the one quote from one of the brothers (I never know which one is who) on Uptown Funk: "If songs were color, this one would be beige."

Oasis had some good tunes. Their first few albums are good, then after that they got tedious. Ironically, my favorite song my them is this one:

If you weren't around yet when Beatlemania was happening it is very hard to understand. We will never see that again as the musical genres have become too diverse. I grew up on The Beatles and clearly believe they are the best ever. But … but music is probably the most generational art form there is. As I have matured I have acquired tastes for music before my time and there is the occasional newer artist I like but for the most part I am stuck in the 60's and 70's for my musical enjoyment and entertainment.

The Beatles have and will continue to pass the test of time. Most bands won't or haven't. Oasis for example, I couldn't tell you one song they ever did?

You guys went from Beatles/Stones to Oasis/Spice Girls.

you went from fdr to drumpf
