Oasis fuckin sucks.
I can’t believe I come from a generation that was complicit in comparing them to — *sighbigfuckingsigh* — the goddamn Beatles, with whom they share nothing but a mother country and an inability to get along. |
Only a few Blur songs are really similar to Oasis IMO - 'End of a Century' comes to mind. The big advantages one had over the other were a sense of humour, a willingness to experiment, and genuinely being great friends (part of the reunion was so Damon and Graham could make amends).
Unfortunately, when it comes to the songs that you hear nowadays, Oasis have won out. I mean, everyone knows Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger, but nobody even knew bloody Beetlebum, and that's an outrage.
