When I look at a band like Oasis, the only words that come to mind are "Why are you treating rock like a fucking museum piece, you wankers?"....

I feel there's a definite sense of rock (as we know it in the classical sense) in the UK as being in stasis - too many goddamn bands quoting too much from the past without an actual idea of their own. Also: horrible parody bands like The Darkness (ugh!) don't exactly breathe any life into the old corpse. Also, in the UK, the whole "Acid House" explosion is still being felt now, 20 years later - I don't rock will ever have the status it once did here, or as it still seems to do in the USA...
