They were e anyway

Well done Noel

I wouldn't work with Liam for £20m either

They will, when one of them has a messy divorce and needs a boatload of cash.

Creatively, I thought they made one good album - then they disappeared up their own ar5es; most overhyped band in recent memory.

Lets hope not, one formulaic but decent album and that's it. I especially dislike Liam who is the worst front man in history, lacking the energy of Jagger, the genuine toughness of Daltry, the menace of Lydon, the flamboyance of just about anyone but I'll go for Bolan or even the gentle self mockery of Holder. Just a monumental waste of space who couldn't even sing.

Noel looked like he had a bit of talent but was dragged down by his own personal Kriptonite (Liam) - very sad.

Agreed.

As suggested by Vastman, Liam was Noel's Kryptonite. Noel was not only the better singer but also had more creativity. His collaboration with Goldie and The Chemical Brothers suggested Noel wanted to be more creative and try new things but unfortunately Liam was having none of it and they just plugged on with the then tired Oasis.

When the split was announced I expected Liam to do exactly what he did, form an Oasis tribute band and Beady Eye was just that.

Noel on the other hand looked to have finally broken free when he formed High Flying Birds and attempted to change his musical direction. There was also talk of a collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous which would have seen Noel become a lot more risk taking, a bit like his once creative nemesis Damon Albarn. Unfortunately the plans for the AA collaboration seemed to have been scrapped and now an Oasis reform is being talked about. It seems it's too late for Noel to take the risks he once looked like taking. Sad really.

A couple of great albums but not a patch on the roses

Yeah cos they had loads of good albums didn't they!!

Just everyone they made mate . Obviously not as good as standing on the shoulders of giants tho


A quote from Liam .... Stones roses are the best band to come out of Manchester .

Tbh pal the first 2 oasis albums were brilliant and will always remind me of good times growing up

Yeah, all 1 of them - and a mediocre 2nd album that just lived off the hype of the 1st.

Not much poimt arguing about oasis with someone who's avatar is a picture of Noel and Liam is there haha it's like me arguing who's better out of fc and kr
Fwiw I don't dislike oasis ,my favourite is shampaign super nova with john squire on guitar

Don't worry, I didn't even realise that was still my avatar - been like that for years, and as I use the mobile version of the site I never see it!



Oasis aren't my fave band, far from it, I just find it weird how people compare a band like the Roses who are still living off 1 album that wasn't really that successful at the time (only got to #19 on the album chart), to a band that ( despite some of the poorer latter efforts ) sold massive quantities of 7 albums!

This one time, I was in Milan, I went to a trattoria. Inside there were about 5 tables. I asked what the waitress recommended, she said the lasagne. It was the single best lasagne I have ever eaten in my life. Nothing has ever come close. I asked how many they sold a day. They baked one large dish a day.

Tesco sell 10,000 microwave lasagnes every day.

Which is better?

Not really the same though is it. And if you like microwave lasagne then thats what you are gonna pick if you have never been to the restaurant in Milan. Just cos you say its the best lasagne you've ever, doesn't make it so for everyone else does it! That is what opinion is all about.

The Roses had 1 album that only came to the mainstream after bands like Oasis came to the forefront of music and said the Roses were the best Manchester band ever - and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

Oasis had 3 great albums (and 4 dross ones) compared to 1 from the Roses.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bagging the Roses in anyway as that album is superb and I still have my original copy from when it came out - but if you are comparing success no matter your opinion of the bands, then there is no comparison!

Well, yes, it is entirely the same. By your reckoning One Direction will go on to be than Oasis.

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

What does that mean tho ???

Burst into heaven
Kissing the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone

What does it mean though???

And they are and they will be. One Direction cracked America - Oasis never did. Plenty of other UK pop/boybands have tried but never done what One Direction have done since The Beatles.

She's got a sister
And God only knows how I've missed her
And on the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time

I rest my case haha

Touché - no argument there! Was waiting for that

Tbf you could probably rip a lot of song lyrics to bits non more so than the Beatles (most overrated band in the history of music) in my opinion of course

That must be only in there to make it rhyme

So that makes them better? Just to clarify, your definition of better is populairty/quantity sold?

What would the super league table have looked liked if it was on average attendances ?
