how did a nation full of critically acclaim artists get raptured by such a mediocre band

Brits had always loved pub rock, it just happened that one finally got really big.

They rode a general wave of 60s nostalgia and mythmaking over boomer pop bands. I was pretty amazed by how bland Oasis was when I finally listened to their music, given their legendary reputation. I think the fact that the band members were such contemptible assholes and constantly in the press for legal issues helped fuel their popularity quite a bit as well. In a way they fused punk sensibilities with the bland 60s pop

>>127086236 (OP)
It was just good timing, they released their two best albums right around the time that "lad" culture exploded in the UK and were a superbly fitting soundtrack to the kind of normies it drew it.

England is a chav shithole where the average IQ is 65.
millions of scum, innit mate.

everyone with any taste was out necking pills and going to raves
wasis was popular with the plebeian underclasses that remained

Most British music in the 80s was middle class southern poofter shit like The Cure, Xtc, New Order, and The Smiths(Even though Mancs will claim they always liked them).
Oasis made it cool for football fans and working class norf fc's in general to like music again, and they saw themselves in Noel & Liam.

Definitely Maybe is one of the greatest albums ever made

>>127086236 (OP)
dont care for their music but they're genuine men of the people
after all these decades fame still hasn't changed them one bit. theyre still just regular blokes from manchester, and that goes a long way in entertainment.. where it's nothing but fags and snakes

>>127090983
They're not regular blokes. Regular blokes are obnoxious arseholes.

OP and many here wouldn't understand soul. Transcends other factors.

>>127086906
>let me tell you about your country
New Order and the Smiths were both from Manchester, Cletus.

>>127089247
sure, if you're retarded

>>127086292
Punk is a pub rock subgenre

Also, British music had been horribly mediocre since the late '80s

>>127086236 (OP)
Big groups converge on the stupidest thing possible.

>the average IQ is 65
Only after 1997.

fucking retard

Oasis is divorced Dad music

>>127095960
Neil Young & Crazy Horse

>>127095960
NTA but songs like Married with Children do resemble a lot of the Beatles acoustic stuff so I don't know what you're trying to prove other than the fact you don't listen to either band

>>127095990
the oasis sound of three guitars simply strumming heavy chords whilst this guy is more shouting than singing in the mic is very unique to oasis and it is not generic.

it's simple and easy yes. but no other band sounds like them. and it's such a jackshit i don't know about music to call them generic. you can recognize from the first 5 seconds every song they ever did that it's an oasis song.

This thread STINKS LG x

>>127095996
You're arguing about how the music is arranged or rendered (ie wall of sound, nasal vocals). Not about the melodies and the style of this music, which owe a lot to glam riffs, jangle pop and 60s melodic progressions

the songs aren't anything special, the singer is. Johnny Rotten's attitude but with an actual good voice.

Liam could sing the phone book and it would sound biblical.

>>127094521

now there's a true legendary working class band

Shaun Ryder had more creativity in his coked up nostril than the Gallaghers put together. Oasis were just a more manageable version of the Monday's vibe with all the weirdness shaved off.

>>127096422
Great British music was mostly made by middle-class art school kids. The Beatles was a big exception.

>>127094973
Funny, since Oasis is completely soulless and bland outside of their hits.

>>127096543
>I got filtered
yes lad you don't have to reply

>>127096422
British music in the 90s was weird because bongs tended to overhype completely mediocre shit like Suede, Blur's first few albums and dozens of other terrible britpop bands all because of Nirvana making headway there, then they ignored the actual good and innovative artists from that era like Slowdive, Portishead, Stereolab, Spiritualized.
It's sad to me that the nation that gave us the later Beatles albums and progressive rock of the 70s devolved into and promoted such mediocrity.

>>127096656
It's true. Oasis filters out all of us patricians.

>>127086236 (OP)
the trashy retard side of English culture is the only likeable thing about it

>>127096739
>shoegaze hipster still seething no one cared about his boring music
Lmao

>>127096739
>Suede
>completely mediocre
They were probably the best songwriters of the 90s, their B-sides mog most other bands proper albums

>>127096422
i love pills n thrills n bellyaches. what other album by them you think is kino?

>>127086236 (OP)
Oasis is a weird one for me because i dont usually like low brow stuff but the thing is those two brothers are so honest on and off stage, they are so free of fakeness that other "stars" often have, they are true to themselves and down to earth. Its incredibly endearing. Also, noel objectively makes catchy songs and is a good songwriter

>>127099216
Squirrel & G Man and live in New York

>>127096739
can't be bothered to reply in depth to someone that thinks these absolute normie tier artists are some sort of cutting edge. lmao. fuck off.

>>127099216

Pills’n’Thrills is great but it’s a little too slick, I prefer Bummed as it’s truer to what they’re about. Their influences are all over the place, just everything the Ryders heard or watched or experienced went right into their music, and Hannett’s raw, sparse production brings out an edge.
