I think Oasis' songs are a LOT more interesting, a lot more different to each other and I like the attitude. They don't need anything to make a good live show, they just have to play their songs because they do have an amazing back catalogue. I saw them Thursday night and, whilst they're not my favourite band or favourite to see live, they were very, very good and do have a lot of charisma. Not many people can hold my attention for 2 hours by just standing still on stage, but they do. My favourite songs are probably 'Don't Look Back in Anger', 'Some Might Say', 'Wonderwall', 'Digsy's Dinner', 'Married with Children', 'Little By Little', 'Roll With It', 'The Masterplan', 'Morning Glory', 'The Importance of Being Idle'... there really are so many. A lot of people say all of their songs sound the same but, in my experience, they are the people that have only heard 3 or 4 of their songs! oh. my. god. the beatles over rated? all songs sounding similar? oasis songs interesting and different to each other? well, you're getting it pretty wrong. i bet you haven't heard the best things the beatles did, like revolver (one of the best albums ever), abbey road, sgt. pepper's, magical mystery tour... if there's something that the beatles never did, at least in those albums, is repeating themselves, something that oasis do. i mean, oasis steal other people and also steal themselves! but you said that because you never heard the real good beatles albums (thought i love them all). take one day to listen to revolver and if you listen to it less than twice in a day, i'll eat my shit. The Beatles are EXTREMELY overrated but amazing musicians nonetheless. See, I'd say that much like Bob Dylan, The Beatles were amazing song writers more so than great musicians. I mean I'd never call Ringo Starr the greatest drummer to come from England, hell from the same time period you have Ginger Baker in Cream, John Bonham, etc. The Beatles just wrote sublime pop songs. And I can say that outwith a few moments, (Satisfaction, Can't Always Get What You Want, Sweet Virginia) I largely don't get The Rolling Stones. |
