You hear people say ‘I hate Oasis’, then ‘insert 6-7 tracks’ is a canny tune though.
Then 3 or 4 they didn’t know were Oasis cos they were b-sides. The b-sides album sold more copies than some major bands biggest albums.
‘it all sounded the same’ - it ****ing didn’t.
‘they are ****ers’ - probably, but **** me do they own it and back it up.
Every stag. Wedding, lads night, sports event whatever you wanna name has had an Oasis yeah tagged to it when everyone sand along and bonded.
So many links to so many people, so many lost memories that come back.
On a really personal note stuff I had in common with my Dad and Sister who I had a spiky relationship with for years. We are now as close as anyone I know.
No issue at all with folk who ain’t fans, don’t rate them as a bad etc, but people should never underestimate the absolute and mountainous cultural significance of them.
Rarely has a band united people like Oasis.
