DH has just decided to 'wind down' listening to them tonight. I forgot he liked them, but have just been subjected to their 'greatest' hits. I genuinely forgot blocked out the trauma of just how crap they really are.
Wailing music, gobby frontmen, repetitive lyrics, and bigger egos than Donald Trump.

Maybe I'm 20 years too late for this AIBU, but had to ask. They are shit, aren't they?

Completely agree I went as a favour to see them with a friend just hideous. Especially the bottles full of piss being thrown around

I loved their first album. In my defence I was young Grin

Other than that... bollocks. Hated Blur, too

I never liked them. Overrated. But they had a huge fan base so they must have been doing something right.

YANNU. The only debate is who the biggest egotistical twat is - Liam or Noel. I think Liam just about wins it.

Agreed. Hate their egos and horrid whining voices. They make my blood boil.

I loved them at the time but looking back I think they were a bit crap. Derivative tunes and meaningless lyrics. And Liam is a nobber.

They are shit, and always were. And derivative. Nicked tunes left, right and centre.
And, according to my mum, they give a "terrible impression of the north"

I love some of their stuff. They definitely had their moments.

Liam is by far the biggest twat, this I know! Wink

I never really got it either. I liked a couple of their songs like Live Forever and Morning Glory but on the whole their music was very samey. They sounded like pub a band. I think US grunge was better.

I had friends who went to one of their gigs and said it was full of louts chucking piss around.

The way the brothers bang on about newer acts now you'd think they were amazing but they really weren't.

Also hated the celeb culture of the time, Britpop, gobby laddettes falling out of 'it' bars etc. It was so tacky.

They were Northern gobshites but they didn't "represent" It's a big place anyway!! I'm northern but Manchester and my area are worlds apart.

Whiny voice too. I always wanted to smack him, even when I didn't have PMT but especially when I did Grin

I don't mind Oasis but I'd rather literally watch paint dry than listen to Coldplay, Radiohead or any of those other pseudo-intellectual beige emanating lentil eating knobbers.

I thought this was about clothes.

I like Noel, he's a cat person. That means he's ok.

RJnomore1 · 28/02/2016 19:37

The first album was decent, they were hungry and it showed. Then they got money coke and fame and it all went to shit.

Though imo Noel is talented while Liam's not. At all.

Thank you all Grin I knew I wasn't BU!

Still listening now under protest
They are truly terrible! Big gorilla men who think we should give thanks, that they've given us the privilege of hearing them play Confused

I hated them at the time but some of their songs have grown on me, all of them early stuff like Wonderwall.

I saw them at Glastonbury in 2004 and they were shit live.

Nonsense. They have some fantastic music. Not all of it. But some of it is utter classic.

Name me a rock star who isn't a bit of an egotistical twat?
