Ex:
Four Chord Song
Pachelbel's Canon

I couldn't figure out what he was singing in the Four Chord Song, but in my head I was singing Small Town Girl the whole time :D

Oh sorry, I liked them better when they were called 'The Beatles' :p

and I'm just playing around mugs, music is subjective, but it's funny to see people get all offended.

I heard this.....

there was a mix a while ago where they mixed both songs on top of each other......

They do have the same chord progression....

that said, Noel should shut his mouth because half of his songs are a mirror reflection of other people's songs (intro to Don't Look Back in Anger is so obvious).

What bands do you like? Everyone has their oppinion.

both have crappy voices. Green day dude needs to get over that crappy nasaly pubescent wannabe punk voice.
Noel, or whoever the lead is sounds like a whiney beotch.
I can't even reason why Oasis got that popular. A lot of 90's bands got playtime, does that make all of them excellent? No, they created controversy by being aholes.
Greenday is a bunch of media darlings for their political rhetoric.

Album - Copies sold worldwide
Definitely Maybe - 7 Million
(What's the Story?) Morning Glory - 20 Million
Be Here Now - 8 Million
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants - 3 Million
Heathen Chemistry - 3 Million
Don't Believe the Truth - 2.5 Million

One blockbuster record and pretty decent sales on the other. Now album sales != quality, but a lot of people do like Oasis.

meh. i like both Oasis and Green Day
/shrug

and i just listened to the mashup. although the song is ok, the quality is horrible. No dynamic range. I prefer each song separately
