Why do people like Oasis so much?

>>127167554 (OP)
It's a good band. Something oddly hypnotic about their music. The lyrics are a little goofy but it's so comfy to just put on and vibe to

>>127167554 (OP)
because they speak directly to my fucking soul

>>127167579
you have no soul if you're able to listen to this gay pop anglo shit that sounds exactly like a trillion other gay pop anglo bands

>>127167625
fuck off back to the king crimson thread you fackin sperg, get filtered

>>127167554 (OP)
because they have style

they rehashed (or ripped off) proven successful sounds like The Beatles, T Rex, Gary Glitter, mixed with trite rhyming dictionary lyrics and fashionable swagger that was not genuinely edgy, weird or threatening for mass appeal.

>>127167649
>king crimson
same shit as oasis gay ass anglo rotten tooth whiny music

If Noel was the lead singer their public image would be 100x better

>>127167768
They need each other, they believe in one another. It's as simple as that really

You wouldn't get it incel

this is one of those bands that "works" for people and doesn't "work" for others because then it wouldn't have any function in the first place

>>127167554 (OP)
Blimey mate! That is a rough an' tumble blight if ever I did see one, jolly oh good chap! People like these Gallagher bastards 'coz they is more swanky than Nic Sequeira, who is actually a right bloody good musician but is not British an' so does not have the cultural prominence of these British edgelords, eh wot? Blimey good an'; all. I think Oasis sound like a mess of rat droppin' meself.

saaar

>>127167554 (OP)
Because they ripped off the most accessible aspects of the Roses, the Mondays, the Las, JaMC, Pixies and Blur and made it MoR and palpable to lager lads

>>127174532
Get a load of this fucking student

>>127167554 (OP)
I still don't like their music but they hate Phil Collins which means they're alright in my book.

>>127174949
yes the truth hurts, you decided to become a fan of the derivative watered down version

As a recent Oasis convert I was shocked to find out how psychedelic some of their stuff is, had no idea

>>127175020
lmao @ thinking blur or pixies are better or that NG in any way was influenced by them. I'll give you the roses, even though they have one album, there's a lot guys getting defensive and nostalgic about them for the movement they kick-started. lee mavers is a fucking genius and I'd put him on equal terms with Noel, but incomparable. the jamc sound nothing like Oasis except for the fact they went mor themselves.

have you even heard of the kitchen tape you pseud

>>127175352
>lmao @ thinking blur or pixies are better or that NG in any way was influenced by them.
Yeah that's fucking crazy it's not like Blur invented the "Oasis" sound four years before Definitely Maybe...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxFOaoJuP5E
But hey, it wouldnt be the same without unique deep Noels lyrics like "You need to be yourself" and "We're gonna make a better day"

music for brits on a night on the piss init

>>127175436
...now, Liam wishes he was a genuine Madchester mad lad like Shaun, Bez or Lee, but he isnt, so he has to fake it, for the publicity. He's a media whore.

>>127175436
Just sounds like watered down Chapterhouse, so bad. God damn I fucking hate Blur, bunch of disingenuous CUNTS.

I like Oasis because they're as profoundly tedious and whiny as I am.

>>127167554 (OP)
Old man here. Was asking myself the same fucking question in the late 90's. These guys were always absolute fucking trash, and I never had any clue wtf was carrying them to stardom. They should've been one hit wonders. Instead, we were subjected to their dogshit for like 15 years. One fucking song made them stick around for over a decade. Unreal.

P.S.; I hate British people so much it is unreal.

>>127175352

But he is not dangerous and unpredictable which is required to make excellent rock

>>127175987
Andrew Sherriff plays a Jaguar. Epiphones and ES-330s were more common in baggy/madchester. That's why Coxon is playing one in She's So High.

Now, in 1990 Noel was a good little roadie to the Carpets, and a madchester wannabee. That's from whence he got the idea to play shoegaze guitar walls of sound on an Epiphone.

But to avoid being recognized as the derivative little 2nd wave madchester lad he was, he of course had to go mouth off about Slade, T-Rex and what have you, paying no dues to his true inspirations

CHAMPOIGNE SUPERNOOOVERR

>>127176197
And here he is... So take one guess why he was so anxious to distance himself and Oasis from Blur and the baggy scene

>>127176197
wrong, he played epiphones because they were cheap and because the Beatles used them. oasis sounded baggy in the early days, yes, and then, like an actual artist, NG's songwriting evolved and their sound broadened. the rest of your post is complete conjecture, but that's to be expected from someone who thinks the Mondays were musical geniuses while in reality they were just a bunch of chancers on crack

>>127176315
why is amoongus on his lanyard

>>127176315
and Damon. More alike than you'd think...

>>127176376
>oi we're inpired by DA BOITLES
lmfao, he's inspired by carrying around fucking Graham Lamberts epiphones

Noel is such a fake

>>127176424
yes, he roadied for the inspirals, what's your point

>>127176527
that after a long day carrying around the Carpets stuff, Noel, in his shoegaze moptop, pulled out his beloved 12" She's So High, and tried to replicate the sound on Graham Lamberts Epiphone

I don't understand what this band has in common with the sound of the Beatles outside of the singer having a nasally voice and the genre being pop

>>127167554 (OP)
Pub Rock

>>127176597
yes, and exactly which part of live forever, supersonic or slide away sounds like that?

imagine no wankers

The song Whatever is one of the few songs that makes me smile

>>127177068
i thought it was just an ongoing joke. oasis have a "big" heavy sound, made to be played live at festivals

The dullest band of the 90s

>>127177384
Columbia,Slide Away.. There are many Oasis songs that are derivative of a combination of shoegaze and baggy

>>127178417
..Up In The Sky, Digsys, Shakermaker...

>>127174532
Adrian!

>>127177147
They sound nothing like Dr. Feelgood.

>>127178417
>There are many Oasis songs that are derivative of a combination of shoegaze and baggy
maybe columbia and some unrleased early stuff, other than that none

>>127167554 (OP)
Simple but heartful toonz that speak to simple people too
And they don't look like phony showbizz hipsters who sniff their own farts much with their 'artistry'

>>127167565
>a little
>A LITTLE

>>127177068
They use those circus-style rollercoster melodic progressions that the Beatles used.
Plus the trumpets, the piano accents on the rhythm side (like in Penny Lane).
But the Beatles had 20 different kinds of sounds and more, they don't have one single typical sound, they were all over the place. So Oasis sounds like just 1 or 2.

>>127178784

Because they make good music and it connects to something in people. Simple as.

>no grammies

into the trash they go

Can an Oasis lore expert tell me about the brothers' relationship? Weren't they fighting years ago? What was that about? Now they are best friends again? Give me a QRD of it all plz.

>>127179024
Hi I haven't paid attention to Oasis but I like the songs So Sally Can Wait, and Champagne Supernova

>>127179024
Noel said he would never reunite then he got blindsided by his wife, divorce raped, and now they’re both making £100m+ for 40 shows.

>>127174532

they hate him because he spoke the truth

>>127167554 (OP)
Working class lads who wrote perfect pop-rock songs. Zero industry or nepo influence. They feel like the last remnants of an era long since passed.

>>127175020

The Irish are way more likeable than Anglo Saxons

>>127179426

>>127179512

>>127176103
Noel learned from t rex, the Jam, sex pistols and the stones. Write some catchy riffs, pentatonic solos, big sound, and throw in a bit of classic Irish working man's pub balladeering underpinning the psychedelica. Then add some uplifting Beatles-esque nonsense lyrics, plus some banter and a pretty bad boy up front.

Until 1994/5 oasis were a girl band, their following was majority women (Noel talks about this in a documentary with his best friend and Oasis' photographer Jill Furmanovsky). Women supported them until after Def Maybe dropped and slowly, men started crowding in at gigs and women felt too intimidated to go.

So, between Def Maybe and Morning Glory, they upgraded their image to cash in on the rise of working class/rule britannia/lad rhetoric.

Liam started the whole manc man act and Noel and the music media started manipulating the wider press with over exaggerated stories of sibling rivalry, wild excess and rock n roll revelry. (Did they have fun? Yeah. Were they mad for it 24/7? Nah. Noel spent most of his time sunbathing on the beach)

To be successful in the UK you've got to have an image and Oasis' genius was in having an 'anti image' that wasn't as pretentious as Nirvana's. They were 5 lads in baggy addias sweats (A la Stone Roses). A rock band for the Northern English.

Without that media machine they would've probably sold 10-20 million albums and be at the same level of global popularity as their other contemporaries like Pulp, Blur etc.

Nobody was expecting them to become as big as they did, but they basically were a classic case of right place right time. Right at the end of grunge and house music and a huge financial recession, people were looking for escapism. Noel gave them that.

>>127176315
He said somewhere he was trying to dress like Johnny Marr with the brian Jones bowlcut and the polo necks

>>127174532
Hearing both The La's only album and Definitely Maybe I can say I enjoyed both

>>127180011
That's the thing, La's is the influence they dared admit to stealing from, since it was kind of a cult Mancunian band that sank fell off the radar because Lee was a junkie. But Noel was a little hangaround in the baggy / shoegaze scenes and he didnt want to admit to that. But anyone who listens to Oasis guitar sound will hear iteration #57 of JaMC guitar distortion wall of sound through jangly madchester epiphones / es-330s, something that was new and fresh in 1985 but tired and derivative by 1994.

>>127180235
Did Noel at least say something "hey check this band we love them" in an interview? it would be better than nothing. I can understand why people don't like derivative music. I just can't help but like both even if Oasis is derivative personally

>>127180302
Yeah he probably did, in fact I think whenever he's asked about the Mondays, Roses, MBV, JaMC, etc that he says he loves, so I guess I'm a bit hard on him. I guess my issue with Oasis is that to me those bands were better and had more character, while Oasis represents taking those influences, watering them down and making them more radio-friendly. A slightly less bad Goo Goo Dolls or Nickelback

>>127180352
Fair

>>127180352
I should say I Can't Sleep is the best La's song imo
That chorus is such an earworm

>>127179956
>Women supported them until after Def Maybe dropped and slowly, men started crowding in at gigs and women felt too intimidated to go.
management targeted football mags and marketed them heavily in that demographic

>Without that media machine they would've probably sold 10-20 million albums and be at the same level of global popularity as their other contemporaries like Pulp, Blur etc.
absolute bullshit, there was no way of stopping them after they exploded, and had they sucked corporate dick in the US they would have been 3 times bigger over there too

>>127180425
Nobody cared about american success in the britpop era, it was the UK's decade.

>>127180302
>>127180352
>"What song do I wish I wrote?" Mate, have you ever heard my music? If I like a tune, I'll nick it. That's how it's always been

imagine saying this about the roses, mondays, la's

you want to hear a band they were directly influenced by, check out The Real People’s first album. The first Oasis demo was recorded at their house.

They struck the perfect in-between of being cool to northern men while not being edgy as to upset women. Their songs are fun and the words are easy enough to be remembered by ESLs. They'll be forgotten about in 20 years' time but that's alright with me, not everything has to be art.
