He went on to say that Oasis were the last of that breed of British bands to achieve such acclaim, which seems likely to prove true as the music industry is now such a different beast.
Funny that shaker, I have an extensive record collection and can't seem to find one of Oasis, suppose its a matter of whether you like that type of music, can say exactly the same about The Smiths and Stone Roses, its a matter of taste really, to me Oasis were trying to emulate the Beatles, which I think one of the Gallaghers once said, but to me they didn't do a very good job in that department
