The "oasis was huge back in the day" meme needs to die.

they never had more than one charting single in America and three in the UK
they never played a concert to 250,000 people in which over 2 million applied for tickets.
they were never front page news.
they never broke any sales records.
they were never critically acclaimed.
nobody ever liked or cared about them.
they aren't even real a "rock" band, just major label manufactured product. even calling them soft rock is a stretch. they're nothing but the most effeminate acoustic pop, just shitty whiney twee ballads that only appeal to 8 year old girls, homosexuals, and pussy nu-males.

Wonderwall, their only geniune hit, is literally the shittiest song of all time
>lyrics are complete nonsense shit and repeated over and over again
>easy as fuck to sing but singer still sounds awful
>2 chords over and over
>bassline is just the root note of chord and nothing else
>drums are just simple 4/4 kick-snare pattern
>no other musical instruments present in the song
>ripped off of a 50s song and stylized to sound like the beatles

Oasis are an affront to music. Prove me wrong.
>>
Let's be real here guys, no memes, no trolling please. Oasis is literally the greatest musical artist of all time. If you can find me a better song than 'Champagne Supernova' or a better album than 'Definitely Maybe' I would like to hear it because it must be truly incredible. But the thing is, such things don't exist because music in the human race peaked with Oasis. Never again will we experience such an awesome, incredible band that writes anthems for every person on earth.

Now, if you don't like Oasis, I suggest you get the fuck out of /mu/, slit your wrists and re-evaluate your life.

I agree, Oasis is shit.

Blur is infinitely better and unlike Oasis, Damon Albarn was never afraid to try new things.

Lol, look its the "simple music is bad" meme. Nobody thinks you're smart for throwing around theory 101 terms to negate other peoples enjoyment of something.

The correct answer is Pulp.

Oasis was pretty big around their big hit time, and then slowly died out. I think they looked more popular than they were because the gallagher brothers were (and still are) absolutely fucktards and were in the music news because of all their fights. Think of how you'd remember Kim Kardashian in 20 years, that's basically Oasis, without the sex tape (thank god).

t. 80s kid.

A ^ "Live Forever" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 39 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
B ^ "Champagne Supernova" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 20 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
C ^ "D'You Know What I Mean?" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 49 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
D ^ "Don't Go Away" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 35 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
E ^ "Lyla" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number eight on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which acts as a 25-song extension to the Hot 100.[141]
F ^ "Falling Down" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number six on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which acts as a 25-song extension to the Hot 100.[141]

Here's some actual news for you.

OP isn't telling any lies. I'm American and I always knew Oasis as that one hit wonder British band that did Wonderwall. When I started browsing /mu/ I was surprised to see how popular they were here.

"Does not follow"

Your comment did not follow the conversation, because the subject was anon thinking that if he knew something or not would determine if it's popular.

They're still pretty big in the UK. Hear they're popular stuff a fair bit on the radio, Live Forever, Supersonic, Roll With It etc. Pretty much everyone I work with loves them and rumours of them getting back together have been pretty big news. Can't speak for the US but they really are a big deal over here.
>>
>>69639969
Literally not one of the posts you linked to refutes a word of what I said. They did fairly well in the US, but they weren't a tremendous band by any measure. One of their albums peaked at 2 on the billboard chart and another hit 4. The rest were basically irrelevant.
>>
>>69640116
>Literally not one of the posts you linked to refutes a word of what I said
OP claimed they only had 1 hit in America, but those graphics show 10 charting hits, 6 in the top 10.
OP claimed they only had 3 hits in the UK, and those graphics show 16 charting hits, all in the top ten.
OP claimed they were not "front page news" but the graphic shows two different instances of Oasis being featured on the front of a news media.
>>
>>69640076
How old are you and where do you live? Because among my age group (early 20s) no one really cares about them besides maybe knowing 1 or 2 hits. Also might be a north/ south thing (I'm from Bristol)
>>
dig out your soul was a rather good album, and The Shock of the Lightning is an absolute banger. Falling Down is an impeccable single too. Kind of makes me feel bad they split up just as they were starting to not suck for the first time in over a decade

There were a group of pissed 35 year olds in the pub the other week who put on 6 Oasis tracks in a row on the jukebox. They're loved by pretty much everyone between the ages of 20 and 40 in Britain.

They are so boring and popular that they cross the line into being morally reprehensible. Their fanbase is a blight.

fuck off faggots oasis are good, if you think otherwise you must really have shit taste

Oasis is the least creative band that has ever had a string of mainstream hits.

They ruined music for several years. The one bright spot to their reign of terror is that someone admitting they're an oasis fan = someone admitting to you that they are an idiot. It's musical down's syndrome.

Even a bootleg of Liam and Noel having a drunken argument entered the fucking charts back in the day

They were a true phenomenon. No band has come close to matching their rise to fame since, and never will with the pathetic state of modern music.

I'm from the North of England (Sheffield), and the indie scene is still huge here from the whole Arctic Monkeys/Reverend/Milburn/Little Man Tate UK indie explosion in the mid 2000s.
Oasis is undoubtedly one of the most popular bands to ever exist to this day, there are clubs here that have nights where ONLY Oasis tracks are played.
And there is literally a 100% chance of hearing them no matter where you go on a night out, Blur have been forgotten but Stone Roses and Oasis are insurmountably huge, the former is selling out full weeks at stadiums still.

>Oasis were never front page news

Just fucking lol. In the mid 90s it was iterally the biggest media obsession over a band since The Beatles. Front page of the tabloids and TV news headlines ALL THE FUCKING TIME

Deny it all you want. Oasis are one of the biggest and best ever and will never be forgotten.

They don't sound like anything in the mainstream at the time.

They're literally a manufactured major label boyband product no different, then, say Imagine Dragons.
>>
>>69652675
They formed themselves as a completely different band in 1991 called The Rain, and didn't get signed til 1993 to an independent label.

>>69652711
That's what the media want you to think. There's nothing legitimate about Oasis at all. They are "rock" at all.

>>69652728
Prove it

They still have their bi-monthly 15 minutes of fame in the press, the whole crotchety old rockstar schtick. Like they're Kieth Richards or something.
