When im in school/sixthform, whatever, we have music on in the common room and there is always arguments over the sorta music played, and so they always put oasis on because "everybody likes oasis".
So i was just wondering, does everyone like oasis? I do :yes:

Edit: I prefer Blur though
Tis annoying :yes:
To me, it's just some scouse guy making nasal noises ("Shyyy-eeee-yyyyyy-eeeene
That makes no difference. Not to me anyway.
ETA: I know the difference between the accents, it' just I think nothing more or less of them knowing they are from Manchester.
so you've never heard live forever then, one of the best lyrical and musical songs ever, oasis are an institution, and are a dying breed, proper music, they definately are your band next door if there is such a thing and maybe they're overplayed but definately one of the greatest bands ever.
and what does that tell you? british people like shit music.
my dog sings better than robbie williams. and she's more attractive too.
In my opinion if you never had oasis you would not of had many of the bands that are popular nowadays. They paved the way for many bands after them.
They came along at a time when the idea of a decent British rock n roll band was a long and distant memory.
ETA deffinatly maybe probably the best debut album by any band.
Just look at the songs that never got released as singles.
Slide away the most obvious example.
you might not like the music but you must admit they've done a huge favour to british music and at least respect them for it. regardless of taste.
What have they done exactly? Solds lots of albums and singles?
Well what are they meant to do? sell 250,000 tickets over 2 nights at Knebworth park? Oops sorry they did that.
Seriously though what more can they do?
encouraged lower class people that they can make music and make a difference, they were a peoples' band, inspired a generation, what British band in the past 10 years has made as big an impact as Oasis
*can you hear a pin drop?*
Who the fudge is that stupid? I don't know anything about Liam Gallagher, except that he's apparently quite rude to the media and is married to one of the Appleton sisters, which would be a reason to like Oasis, in my opinion.
And to me, they are just another band.
The question was....OK I think the question was "Everyone likes Oasis, don't they?" and I said no. Simple as.
They were just one of the many early nineties british bands, the collective shite known as britpop. for some reason, while others faded into the background, oasis stuck around. lord only knows why.
if you can get your hands on any of the 'shine' CDs from around that time, you'll find 40-odd almost identical sounding bands. the stone roses/cast/shed seven/the charlatans/gene/suede/paul weller, anyone?
Yeah, I have. The same goes Metallica, Nirvana, Greenday etc. - all good bands, but so overrated.
Um... They're not rock 'n' roll. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis etc. - that's rock 'n' roll.
Look at the state of the British charts. McFly, Busted, Special D, Eric Prydz, Cheeky Girls, O-Zone etc., then re-evaluate what weight the musical tastes of the nation holds.
That doesn't mean anything. The Stone Roses were 10 times the band Oasis are, but they're nowhere near as recognised.
I liked all of those bands. Alot of them were even better than Oasis, though Oasis was deemed as the "cool" band to say you listened to outta all of them. Like you said, Lord only knows why :razz:
*agrees*
I used to see Noel walk by a few times when I worked in London at Marylebone Train Station - we used to buy our lunch from the same Place!!
Maybe Brits have a good taste in music and it's you, the odd few that have the shit taste in music?
Why did they all sound more or less the same? Because their Manc bands inspired by legends. The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, etc.
fact.
simply not true, check out the charts for a sharp wake up into the world of bad music.
nobody with taste buys anything in the top 40... it's kids with pocket money. perfect example? look at busted, not an ounce of musical talent between them yet they top the charts everytime they vomit up a song.
if that's not proof music is currently shite then i don't know what is.
do you dig my ditch?

Robson and Jerome, Ken Dodd, Will Young, Bryan Adams, AQUA, ffs.
I don't think so.
