Oasis are ****e, one decent album, then ****e. They are the Mike Tyson of music, over rated and rapey.
Don't Look Back in Anger = Imagine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgwGhPIYyZo Or the intro anyway. I don't care enough about Oasis to remember much more of it.
I think this pretty much sums it up: There were elements of Led Zeppelin (the bone-crushing hard rock rhythm section), the Stone Roses (the clubby swagger) and the Sex Pistols (the sneering, power chord attack) in the Oasis formula, but most of all there was the Beatles, the group both the Gallagher brothers revere. It was in the mop-top look of the band, the classic structure of the songs, the flowing melodies and elegant chord sequences. And it was a constant reference in their banter. “If you don’t want to be as big as the Beatles, then its just a hobby,” said Noel. Liam once claimed to be the reincarnation of John Lennon (“I think I was him. He’s me now”, despite being born eight years before Lennon’s death (logic has never been Liam’s strong suit). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/...-the-Beatles-we-wont-look-back-in-wonder.html
Bonio! Without a doubt THE most pompous, self absorbed, self important, **** in music - or just about anywhere, really
that's one man's opinion that their songs have similar structure. still no example of a song that has been ripped off. They have ripped off other bands but I cant think of 1 song that sounds anything like the beatles
I knew you would come back with that. But it isn't just one man's opinion is it? Others on this thread have said it. Search online and you'll find articles by credible music critics saying it. You don't have to copy another band's songs note for note to sound like them.
