To think Oasis are; were and always will be, - Shit.

[VioletVaccine]

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?

have to agree- Pulp is far far better than Oasis OR Blur.

Oasis and Blur each have a few really, really good songs. Oasis: Don't look back in Anger is superb, for me, and I never tire it. Blur: to the end. The rest, eh.

Love Oasis

Utterly and appallingly shit.
Talentless dickheads.

I used to like them ten years ago. I listened to morning glory last week and wondered why I ever liked the music - most songs sounds very similar, they repeat a theme of a few seconds in an endless loop at the end of most songs, but what made me cringe most of all were the lyrics. Are they supposed to be deep and meaningful? They're just meaningless strings of words.

Utter shite. At Uni in the mid nineties pretty much everyone liked them. It was lonely having a different opinion.

Oh god they're so awful. I used to work with someone who whispered, reverently, 'Oasis' , every time they came on the radio. It was cringe-making.
Cut-price, z-grade Beatles pastiches, and this description 'Football chants set to discarded Beatles riffs' is perfect.

This, however, 'I like Noel, he's a cat person. That means he's ok.' has raised at least Noel in my estimation.

WRT the Northern thing, I'd think of New Order when it came to music, especially their early stuff. I was listening to 'Everything's gone green' and 'Procession' again last week, and they're amazing.

New order was a different genre of music though- a different generation. The only thing that is similar about them is the fact that they are 'Northern'. Songs like 'Supersonic' were energetic and reacting to what had been before. I think you get gripped by certain genres of music as a young teen and those tastes don't change easily when you're a young adult. I.e at university. My brother was at university from 92 and saw OASIS live at his student union but I would say at 19 he had established his tastes- The Smiths, New Order, The Cure, he was a bit old and didn't get it. I was 4 years younger and did start to hate this dreary moaning music that he played when he was home in the holidays. whereas the stuff I listened to actually made you feel a bit alive and part of something. Even at 19/20 I think he'd missed the boat on that a bit and was not captivated in the same way, I was rebelling still as a child and he was thinking about Law School and what he wanted to be. similarly, my DH is 4 years younger than me and when we first met I didn't get his fondness for Hip Hop. It's all just music now we're in our 30's though

YADNBU

Utter shite. From the derivative tunes, to the inane lyrics, to the bad boy posturing, to the snoozesome 'we're bigger than God' style statements, to their legions of saddo fans who dress like them, to the shite that is Wonderwall being droned out by every other busker, to the rubbish videos, to the cringesome solo careers.

Utter, utter shite.

(I'm not a fan)

And don't even start me on Ocean Colour Scene. The musical equivalent of Nytols.

Mike Flowers Pops! One of the best things to come out of the 90s.

I hated Oasis. I loved Blur, but Suede were always top of my pops.

No, they had talent. Columbia is great. They were annoying though, they rode the whole mid-90s lad thing all the way to the bank.

YANBU they are shite
and always have been

KimmySchmidtsSmile I forgot about Puressence! They deserved to be bigger than they ever got. Sharpen up the Knives was amazing, I bought the album for that song alone. From Andy's Records reminiscing about the 90s now

Another YY to Pulp. They are timeless, uplifting and unapologetically British!

YANBU. Have never enjoyed their music and have always been bemused with their popularity

Loved Pulp - saw their most recent concert in Sheffield a few years back. Was amazing. They played way over the time limit - had to be threatened with pulling the plug to come off stage :D

YANBU and they haven't stood the test of time well- they are an embarrassment
Damon Albarn is fanbloodytastic and this must be glaringly obvious to those dickhead Gallaghers!
and yy to pulp- who doesn't have a geek crush on jarvis?!

YABU to lump their stuff all in together. They've been brilliant and also horrifying. Yes, Noel is obviously the more talented one. Liam's no great singer, but had charisma. Not the first or last popstar to whom that applies.

I saw pulp at T in the park donkeys years ago abd it was utterly joyous. Crowd was word perfect. I still love them.

They did some great songs but their personalities are vile.

Wow, YANBU outnumbers YABU by far. I wouldn't have guessed that.

I was running the bar when they played the Duchess of York in Leeds, back in t'day & roughly the weekend before they went oof, massive.

Promoter used to occasionally cannily allow a gig that should clearly have been moved to a bigger venue go ahead at the officially '250 capacity' Duchess - created a buzz for the pub.

Our notoriously stretchy walls were at full extension that night. Must have been over 400 punters.

I said: 'Well, they were a crap old man's pub band. That's the last we'll hear of THEM.'

Still maintain I was half right!

YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU.

New Order were brilliant too.
So we're The La' s.
