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?

Don't look back in anger has to be up there in one of the best British songs. What's not to like about that song?

VioletVaccine · 28/02/2016 19:44

pseudo-intellectual beige emanating lentil eating knobbers.

Hahaha Thenlater I've just dribbled my Organic, hand picked vegan grape juice tesco wine

Thank you all we didn't all agree with you though. Just saying! Grin

DonaldsDuck · 28/02/2016 19:49

I like their music, but I do agree with you in that they're egocentric and whiny Grin

TheWeeBabySeamus1 · 28/02/2016 19:51

Don't look back in anger is one of those songs that gets me all emotional after a few shandies! Same with Sunday morning call and talk tonight.

trashcansinatra · 28/02/2016 19:52

I saw them in oxford just before they were famous and they were shit. Twats and shit band. But there are a few great songs, mostly from the second album, and Noel's flying birds have their moments too.

VioletVaccine · 28/02/2016 19:53

I know Thornrose... Can I ask, how you know Liam is the bigger knobber of the two? Grin

I'm conflicted. One the one hand they have some churned out some cracking ditties. On the other hand, they're a bunch of twats.

Carlywurly · 28/02/2016 19:54

I'm with you. I get stabby with the car radio buttons if oasis ever come on.

And wonder wall is the monotone drunken anthem of groups of blokes outside dps on a Saturday night. I will be happy if I never hear it again.

Cooroo · 28/02/2016 19:56

They are a band. They play music. Some people like it, some don't. That is how it should be. Why the passion? It's entertainment. Mind you I feel the same about sport...

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 28/02/2016 20:04

Quite right Cooroo. How dare people discuss things on an online forum? How very dare they? Grin

Missdread · 28/02/2016 20:07

Hahaha I used to love them but recently heard Champagne Supernova on the radio and the immortal lines, "Slowly running down the hall/Faster than a cannonball" and it just hit me what a load of GUFF! LOLOL!

NewLife4Me · 28/02/2016 20:09

No worse than any of the usual pap, but YANBU they were shit.

Sparklingbrook · 28/02/2016 20:10

Wonderwall was crapola.

VioletVaccine · 28/02/2016 20:10

Agree with PPs who say Noel is the one with talent!

HeffalumpHistory · 28/02/2016 20:10

Yes, yabu
Favourite ever Grin

WeSailTonightForSingapore · 28/02/2016 20:12

YANBU.

I think Oasis and a whole bunch of other bands from that era or slightly later - Blur, Pulp, Coldplay - are all rubbish. I always found them all to be a bit whiny, samey and just a bit insipid.

Saw many of them live too, and they were all jus, meh.

Though, I listened to Nirvana and Guns n Roses in the 1990s, so when Oasis and co came along, they were just flat and unexciting in comparison.

runs away

HarmonicaJones · 28/02/2016 20:13

At the time, I was a hip hop / house music girl, and couldn't have given a flying fuck about the whole Oasis v Blur, Britpop bollocks.

In retrospect, I like a few of Oasis' songs...but only a few. Champagne Supernova is my fave.

VioletVaccine · 28/02/2016 20:14

Yep I agree, Wonderwall was a giant, pus filled boil on the arse of the 90s Smile

Missdread · 28/02/2016 20:15

Does anyone remember Little James, the song written by Liam about Patsy Kensit's son? It's hilario!

"Live for your toys/
Even though they make noise
Have you ever played with plastacine?
Even tried a trampoline?"

Hmm
VioletVaccine · 28/02/2016 20:17

WeSail I totally agree. Oasis were just wailing drones when compared to the likes of Nirvana and GnR Smile

Noel always sings like he has a permanently stuffed up nose. Mind you, there probably isn't much live tissue left up his nose anymore to be fair.

Like others have said, they had a handful of good songs, and they coasted on them. Both brothers are better known as mediocre Rent-A-Gob's than musicians these days.

"Noel/Liam! What do you think of this new singer?"
"They're shite. My dog/cat/dead Granddad could sing better."
"OMG, I can hardy breathe for laughing!! The legendary dry wit of Noel or Liam everyone!!!"

StillYummy · 28/02/2016 20:18

I saw a sign in a church in the 90's
"If your life is a blur, let God be your oasis"

I was always a blur girl.

VertigoNun · 28/02/2016 20:18

Yes to Liam being a Knobber.

I liked their music back in the day.
