Thats the appeal as you say - a band people could relate to, came from the same place, had a wit, weren't pretentious.

Its just you need a bit more - and yes a bit of pretentiousness - to really create something groundbreaking and new.

There was a lot of dross knocking about in the early 90s 

Whilst Oasis maybe not original to some, they were new to others 

Even in Britpop there was a load of shite bands who produced either one half decent song or album whose songs only get played on Absolute Radio 90s or they’re now cashing in on an anniversary release of an album

They won't reform for one reason and one reason only - Liam's voice isn't up to it.

They'd have to change the key of most of their songs just so he didn't sound like he was having a seizure.

Elton John started doing it years ago and sounds fucking rank live.

Have you seen that video of him singing in the club style? 😁

I totally agree, but being popular & relevant doesn't necessarily mean you still make decent music. As for exciting to be knocking on 50 & strutting around like you are 18 with a bad ass attitude is frankly quite sad & pathetic. 

   Like I said each to their own. I'm just expressing my opinion, if it floats your boat that's great. It'd be boring if we all felt the same. 

 

"Decent Music" opinion is subjective, like your opinion on Liam, and mine even.

Popular is fact, based on numbers. He is popular, thats a fact, and he is popular because lots people like him.

If the general / popular opinion was of yours, he would not be popular. Hence, he is relavant.

McDonald's is popular but you wouldn't call it fine dining.

Its popular, because its popular and what people want, and what people like.

Wimpey is not popular.

Always lots of bitterness about Liam & Noel. Its really strange, you dont see most of us younger ones so bitter about older bands or even new ones we may not be into.

I recon is an angry old man thing.....

You have a great taste in music Electric Warrior, The Slider and Tanx are the holy trinity of T.Rex albums

I went to watch Oasis (for free) in Avenham Park, Preston in the summer of 94. I was at uni there but had moved home. On the train back, it was fucking brilliant. All the Mancs singing "we hate Bolton and we hate Bolton". Living in their heads rent free.

aye, I like Oasis, I could happily listen to a playlist of my favourite songs all day long

but he was shameless when it came to ripping other songs off, this one being the biggest culprit for me:

 

 

 

A lot of musicians borrowed from their musical idols...

You've got to admit though that run of 10 T.Rex singles from Ride A White Swan (October 1970) to The Groover (June 1973) were something special

Oh deffo, if you weren't into T Rex, you'd never get a leg over.

Crawley has never been wrong about music. Fact

You mean for Shakermaker, definately.

There were a couple of copyright issues regarding Oasis, Stevie Wonder was credited as co-writer of Step Up due to the similarity of Wonder's Uptight (Everything's All Right), and Neil Innes was credited as co-writer for the song Whatever due to the similarity of Innes' How Sweet It Is To Be An Idiot.
