They're loud and controversial. Pretty attention seeking.

Some of their songs are good though. I might get their new album.

(BTW wrong subforum!)

That's your opinion. Why didn't you play better stuff a decade ago?

I think they try so hard to shock that they have no shock value. Good band, no.....even great band.......but very very boring people.

they aren't exactly controversial either. They steal other bands hooks and riffs and pretend they are their own. Thats musical plagarism. Ive heard new album, nothing special.

My loathing for Oasis started pretty much as soon as I saw them. Dressed like a Beatles coverband, truly terrible singing (When Liam sings the word `shine`, I just want to kill him - "shhhhyyyyyyiiiiiiiiine"), and complete rip-off of songs. "I'd Like to Teach The World to Sing", anyone. Hmmm. Lets all rip off songs you used to sing as a kid at school. No one will notice.

I then saw Oasis play at (the first?) T In The Park before Definitely Maybe was released and I felt distinctly underwhelmed by it all. When the album did come out I figured it was the biggest pile of overhyped, bland and whimsical cock 'n' roll gash I'd ever had the misfortune to hear.

I listened to it again about 18 months ago when the NME (RIP) declared it to be amongst the top 10 albums of all time. And **** my tin hat if it doesn't sound even worse with age. It's an absolute piece of hackneyed derivative puerile trash - music for cretins and/or those without any inkling of rock 'n' roll heritage. I'm hardly a huge Beatles fan, but for that halfwit Noel to think he's part of the lineage is quite laughable.

I absolutely fail to understand the appeal; perhaps the slavish devotees above could explain why they like it so much? Why is it a masterpiece? The only thing the record achieved was managing to derail British guitar music for two or three years - the (re-)emergence of Ocean Colour Scene as Weller-wannabees and the demise of the formerly superlative Verve are cases in point. Not to mention the horrors of lad (and ladette) culture - I'm not sure whether Oasis and their pea-brained nonsense fuelled such an 'attitude' or fed from it, but the link is inextricable. Collectively abhorrent either way.

I'm glad that the rest of their output failed to fool anyone for long.

Oh, and speaking of puerile as I was, I may've taken great pleasure in gobbing on the lens of Liam's video entryphone outside his house in Primrose Hill once. That fairly taught the ******. Or something.

Blur were quite happy to let their music do the talking, whilst Oasis (mainly Liam, I should add) kept appearing in the press with all sorts of ***** comments. Hoping people catch AIDS and die?! ******s.

I think the most amusement Oasis gave me was after their years of blatant Beatles worship, the Beatles (or what members remained at the time) started slagging Oasis off. I really don't think Oasis knew quite what to do, so concentrated their abuse at the Beatles.

Anyway....

I cant believe OASIS are being slayed. Yes so they may have stolen riffs, many bands have. Theyve listened to other bands and been inspired by eg stone roses and the beatles. I think Liam is a good singer and Noel is very talented and has been my main inspiration in playing the guitar. I mean the new albums have been dissapointing but BE HERE NOW is the best album not defo maybe . So i dont think Oasis should call it day, keep rockin guys! :congrats:
