Oasis

nuffingman

I know a lot of people who thought Oasis were great for the first 2 albums (myself included). Now I don't know anyone who would bother to see them in there own back garden.... but hey they still sell the tickets.

I'm just bored with them. Liams antics, Noels mumbling, boring songs.

yeah they definitely did play it on snl. i always get pissed that noel and the band snub those songs, they are for the most part great songs (especially "don't go away"). maybe the studio versions are a little pretentious and lengthy, but they could fix 'em up for a live show. or re-record them and release it again. yeah. i'd like that.

I am not saying this to start an argument or anything, but i am being 100% honest. I really really really really really really really really really hate Oasis. I hate their music. I hate their crappy "Yellow Submarine"-ripoff videos, I hate those idiot brothers and the ridiculous way they behave, I hate everything about them.

Hating rock and roll is a serious intolarable crime

Rearviewmirror is possibly the best greatest hits ever

yeah, i liked that they didnt try to rewrite history and just picked their biggest songs and singles. sure, a lot of my personal favs werent on there, but definitely had all the big pearl jam songs and it plays great. to compare, here are all of oasis' singles over the years... many of which were huge songs but left off the compilation for no apparent reason.

Besides all the antics, Oasis is a great rock n roll band. Bottom line.

Personally I like Oasis. I can live without Liam, I'd rather listen to Noel. The MTV unplugged where Liam bailed and then talked trash to Noel, when he in my opinion dominated was enough for me to disregard Liam.

He used to have a great voice back in the day, nowadays he is sounding like Kermit.

I like Oasis. I've never been a fan of their lyrics but as long as the melodies are good (and they always are) I'll keep listening. And you've got to love "Fuckin' in the Bushes", best cruising song ever and there are no words! (for those of you who hate their lyrics).

The spirit of what they achieved in the 90's still lives on with many uk bands citing them as the reason they formed a Band and thats good but musically they have never evolved.

Oasis fans try to convince themselves that they have but they stick to what they Know. Which is fine if you want the same thing over and over again.

It's like when Death in Vegas were touted to produce Don't Believe the Truth then they decided it wasn't a good idea.

No risk is taken and they continue in the same vein it's like they are afraid of experimenting, yes Fuckin in the Bushes is a start but they never truly have the balls to to take it to the next level. Noel is basically limited in what he can do, he bad mouths Albarn & Yorke but if he had half their creativity he might have something new to say.

As I said if your happy with that then that's fine but I think some people expect a little more from music but each to his or hers own.

They are still extremely arse kissed in the UK and held in high esteem but they aren't really worthy of the praise anymore.

i still get excited when i hear the opening of morning glory and wonderwall is one of my favourite songs ever and will remain so. i don't like everything oasis do. but what i don't like i don't listen to.

If you hate them, please explain yourself. I listened to them in the beginning and then just kinda stopped for awhile during what seems to be a backlash against them but after hearing Stop Crying Your Heart Out at the end of Butterfly Effect I went back and listened to the stuff I missed out on and realized that they are actually an amazing band that have constantly produced great music. Do you guys hate them only because of things they said to the media or do you hate their music? If you hate the music, why?

I did dig the first album and a few tracks off the next... but the albums after that I just found very boring and bland... no feeling too much pretension... etc

Why do bands have to evolve to be good? Alot of bands evolve into total shit. Oasis consistantly make good music. I also disagree that they havent evolved at all, SOTSOG doesnt sound like anything else they have made, HC has some different sounding songs, and DBTT has a very vintage sound to it.

As I said if your happy with the same thing then fine but I need more progression from what I listen to.

Their change is only slight and usually means they are ripping off some other part of their record collection, Importance of being Idle is a fine tune but the Kinks said it much better years ago.

I actually think Oasis have a lot to answer for as British music is very safe and sounds like it's ripping other better band s off for instance, Razorlight, me thinks they maybe heard Television's Marquee Moon a few times.

Nearly every band since Oasis with exceptions has proceeded to just copy others, I don't mind influence but moments of Razorlight 1st album are just Television rip offs.

They contributed to the stagnation and all the fawning over bands like the Libertines.

It's like they started a whole whats the point of coming up with something new because we can just copy other bands and people will still buy it.

Well not this person.

Very true. For example, those artists, Albarn and Yorke, who "developed" have also put out some albums that are blatantly not as good as their earlier material. Don't get me wrong, I love Albarn and Yorke and their respective bands. But take Radiohead-Sure Hail to the Thief is awesome but Amnesiac and I may be alone in this but Kid A have nothing on Ok Computer or the Bends. Likewise, Blur may have made some amazing stuff once they "developed" but they also put out the stinker Think Tank and the uneven though occasionally genius self titled album.

The difference with Oasis is that while they may not have drastically changed, none of their albums are exactly a retread and they always have great songs. True, there are uneven ones but the songs are always there. I have no idea how someone can hear "Gas Panic" or "Go Let It Out" from SOTSOG, "The Hindu Times" off of Heathen Chemistry or "Turn Up the Sun" from Don't Believe the Truth and say the Gallaghers haven't had it since back in the 90s. Personally, I love Oasis and think they deserve the praise and are underserving of a lot of the shit they get thrown at them.

Oasis Kicks ass. Noel is an amazing talent. Yes there first two albums are there best. But Heathen Chemistry and Dont Believe the truth have some amaizng songs on them also.
