    Well I know I don't like it in this case. Plus I am not a Radiohead fan, maybe my name made you assume that I was. However my name is not Radiohead related.

    And you said this in reference to me because? I had said nothing about Radiohead, nor have I said anything that fits into your explanation. You just made clear that you said it because Radiohead fans are snobbish and don't want to try out stuff they think they don't like. I in fact did listen to Oasis so the whole Radiohead thing seems a bit weird to me. They were mentioned but that doesn't seem like a reason to reply with it to me. I mean I am snobbish but I hadn’t been on this thread when you implied that I was.
    Oh well nevermind.

    oh my god you're behaving like a bunch of kinders. listen to radiohead(i do) don't listen to radiohead. like oasis for the music or think they're a bunch of prats(i can do both). who cares what other people think.

    what i want to hear is eddie vedder singing baby one more time. (cheerleader outfit optional) :p

    The Beatles are better than Oasis that is what this thread is about. Oh no wait there was a question about that wasn't there? No there can't have been.

    then to answer the question. no, oasis are not better than the beatles. cause that would make them bigger than jesus wouldn't it? and i do believe there's more jesus fans in the world than oasis fans.

    Sure he was. They were getting so big that it became absured. That was what he wanted to say. He wasn't saying The Beatles were better than Jesus. But everywhere youngsters were losing their religion. Rock was everywhere, it was becoming a new religion, and The Beatles were the biggest thing in rock at the time.

    He wasn't the messiah and he didn't say that he was. He knew it would fuck people up though. But he was right The Beatles were getting more populair than Christianity.

    No, no, no..... MORE POPULAR than Jesus. THAT'S what John said. :p And he certainly didn't mean it the way it was interpreted.

    Truthfully, I just got into Oasis in the last year & a half, two years or so (I have a habit of getting into stuff post-humously), and it (their attitude) was a part of their appeal to me. I dunno. I guess I dig it that they are unapologetic rockstars, just saying "fuck it, gimme a fuckin beer ya wanka" as opposed to trying to be all deep & meaningful all the time.

    exactly. i was so tired of everybody acting like being a great band was something to be ashamed of. all this false humility and whatnot was getting tired and im glad pearl jam grew out of it. everybody posing to be the deepest most sensitive and tortured artist around.

    oasis was a breath of fresh air. no pretension, no we're super deep and meaningful, no "we dont deserve this." they showed up writing great tunes and loving it. they play rock to rock the fuck out. they've got an attitude that was missing from rock. that "this is us and if you dont like it piss off" thing. in that sense they're more punk than 99% of punk bands out there. sure they're not innovators, but innovation is over-rated. ill take a band willing to be the best godamn arena rock band out there writing the catchiest songs out there over some artsy pretentious group that ends up turning out half assed unlistenable pieces of trash in the name of breaking new ground (im lookin at you radiohead) any day of the week.

    not that oasis is better than the beatles. the beatles are a tough act for anyone to follow. but the oasis bashing is stupid, esp when the only reason is "they're wankers." so were most of the original bad boys that made rock so popular. rock isn't SUPPOSED to be wholesome.
