The same could be said about AC/DC... except with the word "decades" (plural) instead. But all hell would break loose if someone were to say "who?".

 

[Eos]

meh

Their best days were between 1994 and 2001, but if do they stay broken up this sucks as a big fan.

 

[Snapster]

Cannot stand those asshats.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I grew up listening to them, I still like them, onstage/offstage antics notwithstanding. /shrug

that's because AC/DC is a real band and Oasis is just a Beatles rip-off.

LOL....it finally happened...I always wondered when those two brothers would kill themselves...guess Noel had to break up the "band" so he would not kill his little brother. For all practical purposes, the band has been broken up for years. There are only two original members and they have this revolving door of drummers and of the two original members, only 1 had talent.

That said...this is not the first time Noel has left the band...but the last time he did it, Oasis was relevant in the music world. And like it or not, at one point, Oasis was the biggest band in the world.

Oasis may have been an Beatle rip offs, but their first albums were classics in my book.

The fvck, how old are these people? Obviously very young or old or not from the West, undoubtedly. They were undoubtedly one of the substantially famous bands in the mid 90's.

a few in their mid 50s, a few in their mid 30s, a few in their 20s. most from ohio.

those people in their 30's and 20's need to get out more.....

Everyone knows the song "Wonderwall" by Oasis.

I think I like Champagne Supernova better. Good thing both songs are on the (What's the Story) Morning Glory? album.

even as a kid i had them marked as horrible writers, vocalists, and showmen who opportunistically slid into the 1990's bohemian cliche placeholder occupied by so many others who, unlike them, have gracefully remained content with their memorable and charming place in history and stayed there. the gallaghers have been doing shows long after the band's popularity had come and gone. i remember one day liam absolutely humiliating himself on TRL (wasn't a regular MTV viewer but i did catch this gem) by publicly claiming to be a god or something to that effect. his reptation had no chance. it's funny how such a clumsy narcissist had the influence he had for such a time. how bizarre, how bizarre.

 

[nutxo]

LOL. I had to look it up to see who they are.

So what. They're like some big pop group these days?

that cockiness is what made them famous. Even the guys from Metallica said that that cockiness is what propelled that band to the top and made them "rock n roll". It's true that they have not made anything relevent in the past decade (everything after their 2nd album was pretty much mediocre at best), but their legions of zealots gave the gallaghers the impression that they still had their A game, so they just kept on going (what's worse, an oasis fan or a radiohead fan?)...They are, without a doubt, one of the more over hyped bands of this decade.

You're either 11 or lying. Just like all of GeekDrew's friends.

Anyone alive in the 90's has heard of them, or would at least recognize some of their songs.

Every time I hear about Oasis, I can't help but think of the SNL British Parliament sketch. Can't find it on Hulu or anywhere else online though. 🙁

One of the few funny Ferrell skits:

Betty Boothroyd: Order!! Order!! Question to the Prime Minister, Mr. Clive Budgen.

Clive Budgen: Does the Prime Minister agree with me.. that the parking situation in Benchley has become intolerable.. and that if the residents of Weymouth refuse to transport their carriages elsewhere.. then they shall only be allowed to park 9 to 5 fortnight!

[ the crowd cheers their approval ]

John Major: Uh.. yes, yes.. yes, yes.. If the right honorable gentleman from the Labor Party were to spend less time concerning himself with the parking situation, and more time preventing the closure of canals, then perhaps he could take the ferry into work, thereby ridding the streets of one.. less.. drunk driver!

[ the crowd gets rowdy ]

Betty Boothroyd: Order, please!! Please! Question to the Prime Minister, Mr. Paddy Donahoe!

Paddy Donahoe: What does the Prime Minister plan to do about the removal of British troops from Northern Ireland?

[ the crowd gets rowdy ]

John Major: Uh, yes.. yes.. Let me ask the right honorable gentleman from Belfast something. What does he plan to do about the removal of Guinness from his liver?

Paddy Donahoe: Okay, follow-up question: Will the Prime Minister be driving his usual car home tonight?

[ John Major expresses a worried look on his face ]

Betty Boothroyd: Question to the Prime Minister, Mr. Michael Shersby.

Michael Shersby: [ seemingly distracted ] How can.. the Prime minister.. support a law.. that makes it illegal for people.. who.. [ gets to the real point he's been fidgeting with ] ..What I'm trying to say is.. Oasis rules!

Betty Boothroyd: [ sternly ] Mr. Shersby!! You've been warned seven times this month to stop bringing up Oasis!

Michael Shersby: But is not Oasis the greatest British band since the Beatles? Can we not vote on this?!

Betty Boothroyd: Enough! Enough!! No votes will be taken on the subject of Oasis! Question, Mr. Simon Coombs!

Simon Coombs: [ smiling broadly with crooked teeth as he speaks, the camera zooming in on those flawed teeth ] Yes, uh.. regarding the Prime Minister's health care clause, I would like to point out that, in no way, does England need anything as frivilous as national dental care! Very good!

Betty Boothroyd: Alright, moving on. Question to the Prime Minister, Mr. Roderick Richard.

Roderick Richards: Uh, yes.. what does the Prime Minister intend to do about the horrible rise of drug abuse our commonwealth is facing, particularly among the working class and the minorities?

John Major: Yes, yes, yes, yes.. I suggest the right honorable gentleman from Barnsley spend more time reading my legislation, and less time smoking ganja and listening to ska.

[ the crowd gets rowdy ]

Betty Boothroyd: Orderrrrr! Question to the Prime minister, Mr. Paddy Donahoe.

Paddy Donahoe: [ holding up a small package wrapped in paper ] Would the Prime Minster mind carrying this package home tonight?

[ John Major expresses another worried look on his face ]

Clive Budgen: [ suddenly stands, clamping his hands over his man-breasts area ] I'm wearing ladies underwear!!

[ the crowd becomes rowdy with approval ]

Betty Boothroyd: Orderrrr!! Orderrrr!! Question for the Prime Minister, Mr. Michael Shersby!

Michael Shersby: What steps has the Prime Minister.. taken to prevent Liam Gallagher from leaving?

John Major: Uh.. yes. what exactly is the right gentleman talking about, and who is Liam Gallagher?!

Michael Shersby: He is the lead singer of Oasis! And if he leaves, it will be be bloody awful!

[ the crowd grows rowdy again ]

John Major: Sit down! sit down! Ghastly man, sit down!

Clive Budgen: I'm still wearing ladies underwear!!

[ the crowd becomes rowdy with approval ]

[ suddenly, Michael Shersby breaks into the chorus of the Oasis song "Wonderwall" ]

John Major: Sit down! Sit down!

Betty Boothroyd: Order! Order!

Announcer: This concludes another session of the Prime Minister's questions from the House of Commons.

Nah. Im straight and like good music. I pretty much garantee any dj that played that generic crap on any station I listen to would be fired immediately.

 

[Pollock]

Why all the hate for Oasis? They're one of my favorite bands. 🙁
