Congratulations to the Red Shiite on their Holy Grail search

a B sides album sold more than most bands could dream of.

 

There's a sort of basic, gut rawness about the first two Oasis albums that makes them effective on only a surface level in that they allow for a stupid, joyless, knee-jerk kind of response in the listener to songs written by witless and thoroughly unmusical people, a kind of musical thuggery if you will ... the main threat being listen to our music and enjoy it or we'll ******* smash your face in, but your ears and mind will get ruined anyway, although you probably don't care about that because you're too thick or wasted. Beyond that both albums are still trash. And certainly anything they put on record after that, albums as a full group and all the abject solo projects, have been similarly trash

 

Mock Beatles.

 

I like Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. But I personally have always found Oasis to be one of the most overrated bands ever.

Wonderwall and Champagne supernova are painful.

 

They kicked arse for a few years. Who gives a **** if they weren't The Beatles or Mantovani ffs?

 

You can't even mention them in the same sentence, I just don't see any musical comparison between The Beatles and Oasis, other than the fact that the latter openly admit to stealing ideas from them. And I'm not even much of a Beatles fan, I think they're hugely overrated

 

Thought Oasis were hugely overrated ... wasn't a fan of Blur either ...

 

See, I like Blur. They have a sense of humour about them and some of their tracks are kickass.

Oasis took themselves far too serious.

 

Agree and disagree to some what but it's purely subjective, I quite like the Beatles but preferred the Stones more out of that UK crop.

 

musical taste is just that. You either love or hate.

one thing for sure, they are better than Coldplay or U2.

Definitely Maybe came out amid a flouncy British music scene and grunge from the US. They were what The Who were to Bowie in the U.K.

 

what sets the stones apart is that it’s blues. Great drumming for both them and Beatles no need for a massive kit, just great rhythm.

 

Yep but Ringo was a far better drummer than Charlie Watts.

 

I always chuckle when I hear him sing live.

He acts like a mental case who had heroin directly injected into his brain stem in interveiws. But on stage he purposely makes his voice nasally and sounds completely different.

Also looks ****ing cold there, see his breath?

 

And yet everyday people say Ringo was a ****e drummer.

Speaking of common people, that a tune from Pulp.

 

They do say that but if you google drummers Ringo scored very, very highly.

 

My Grandad always said he was good, people just don't know what they're talking about

 

I couldn’t separate them. Ringo and Watts are both class.

 

Clearly Lars Ulrich is the best drummer ever ...

 

Possibly the best heavy metal drummer but he wouldn't live with Gene Crouper if it was a Jazz genre.
