Ill pontificate-and it wasnt a personal attack by any means shakermaker, you are young and this oasis thing will pass.
Oasis as a band are and were a conservative reaction to the aceeed house scene -Have you not heard of the term "dad rock"? Noel Gallagher comes across as ill informed, ill educated and downright spiteful in my opinion in interviews. He also supports New labour and therefore by proxy supports the war in iraq.Not that he has a proper political thought in his head, like all of britpop and "Cool britiannia" it was all posturing and ultimately a dreary reactionary bore.
The lyrics of the majority of Oasis songs are of a nonsensical nursery rhyme nature-good example being "I know a girl called elsa she's into alka seltzer" words written to fit in after gallagher has provaricated over which 3 out the 5 chords he can play hes using for his drudge.
Alex Petridis who is a fantastic music writer despises oasis as do most musical commentators-ipso facto it was Petridis who i nicked the "dreary reactionary bore" comment.
Anyway this is just my view, and not a personal slant in any form.Personally i spent 1992 to 1998 going raving till the backside fell out of that subculture.Best band of (very vaguely) similar nature has to be the happy mondays, at least you could have a groove to them.
