Always thought Oasis were overrated tbf. Preferred the Stone Roses.

Stone Roses were better.

Oasis were the right band in the right place at the right time. I've said it before but that '96 Maine Road gig was epic. Very, very good times.

You'd think correctly.

Although if I'm honest the Stone Roses are also over rated, much as I love the fifteen or so great tracks they made. That's it though, and it no way enough to get the reputation they have.

Best thing about the Roses is the drummer, Reni, who is brilliant. Mani and Squire following behind.

Ian Brown can't sing to save his life.

But Ian Brown is always a good watch and listen <cool>
 
My favourite band of that time was The Wedding Present. Those David Gedge guitar slashes were a real icon of that Manchester scene

Yeah he is, so is Liam.
Liam is a bellend though, Ian Brown less so, just.

I grew up in Manchester as a Roses fan (although The Smiths piss on anything else that ever came out of town, ever) and am not so into Oasis but there's too much rose tinted bollocks about them.

They released two good albums, one of which was great. Oasis did the same but also released loads more half decent stuff which the Roses never did.

Never really got into Oasis. I loved the Stones Roses, Wedding Present, The Fall, Inspiral Carpets. But I grew up in London, so the scene down here was Carter the unstoppable sex machine. Neds Atomic Dustbin, Sheep on Drugs.

With both Oasis and Stone Roses it was the first albums that smacked you round the head. The first listen of them was a "what the **** is that" moment, in a good way obviously!
