    Bit unfair to say Oasis killed the scene and listing a load of crap acts, half of which had no tangible link to Oasis like Sleeper and Keane, who merely share the same timeline as them (the latter Oasis went as far as publicly dissing). The fault for that lay with the record companies who signed them up. And eluding back to your point about indie music (i.e. music on independent labels), its because the record labels were no longer independent in essence, like the Rough Trades and the Factories etc. The British music industry could no longer sustain genuine independent labels, the same way as they barely could before Rough Trade

    Oasis may have been predictable, retro, a guitar-based echo from Rubber Soul, but they wrote memorable songs, with catchy lyrics, that became anthems for a nation. At the time music had fallen into a deep well of tuneless mind-thumping dance music. Oasis wrote songs that Brits love to sing. Their success was totally justified. Liam Gallagher was a snarling, sneering, savage, a lad with the soul of the streets worn on his tongue. He shocked and dared to be proud to be himself. But more than this, beneath his bravado was a voice, with all the nasal twang of Lennon, the plantive delivery of a spoken song. Yet, it was unique, both easy to follow and compelling to hear. Liam remains one of the UK's most underrated singers. If you have not heard his rendition of Weller's 'Fresh Carnation' then you may not yet appreciate how brilliant Liam's delivery can be. From the moment he pushes out his first line, he has mastery over the song and demonstrates, how unique a vocalist he is. Like Jagger before him, he may not be a great singer, but he sure can sell a song.

    For me, Ocean Colour Scene were the unsung heroes of that era. They had it all. The musicianship, lyrics, Simon's voice, energy, beauty. Though they had the same creativity/awesomeness trajectory as Oasis. 2 great albums before nose diving into the ground.

    I agree with some of what you are saying. I wouldn't lay the blame solely at Oasis' feet. For me, by the time they were releasing singles like "Roll With It" they were irrelevant. We'd seen and heard everything they had to offer...the rest is garbage, and I mean all of it, every song, including all of the dreary solo efforts. People love a bit of nostalgia, love to try and recapture a moment from their youth. That is what Oasis offer. They are the ultimate heritage act. Completely safe, conservative, solid..a good night out on the piss, a curry then off home to pay the babysitter. They have always been overrated with some OK songs and good timing, as in right band, right era. Slade, Status Quo, The Sweet Oasis...all the same.

    I loved Oasis when they came on the scene, the first album was quite something, I really liked the songs, it was noisy like punk, but slower, a bit like grunge but more rooted in British rock music. I could identify with them, when I couldn't with grunge (grunge is VERY American, and from a harmonic point of view, it breaks all the rules, and even though there are some masterpieces, imo in many cases it makes for very disjointed compositions that are not interesting to sing or revisit, then the only thing left is the 'grunge sound' but we got tired of it, even disgusted, within two years).
    So I was a fan of Oasis. However it was short lived, By the second album (with all the hits) I was already disappointed. And the 3rd album was a disaster, I moved on.
    I still think that Oasis had something unique (at least when they started, before they became a parody of themselves), but that other band who would come after and sound anything like Oasis would be just totally unbearable to listen it.

    • @WoodyGamesUK
      @WoodyGamesUK 2 дня назад

      @@simontunnicliffe2107 I think the second album is great but it's also very different from the first album. It's not so much that Noel refined his songwriting skills, it's more of a conscious departure from the raw sound of the first album. So it's just a matter of taste, and I get the second album definitely had more potential for huge commercial success (the first album was a huge debut album but mainly In the UK, while the second album sent them to global stardom).
      There are songs that I dislike on the second album, like Roll With It, and even the song Morning Glory, are quite disappointing, they are the first signs announcing what would become of Oasis (tired and having to resort to parodying themselves).
      I think a band like Stereophonics was kind of post Britpop and sounded like a version of Oasis that I disliked. Granted I don't think they were bad or anything, it's just something I found very annoying at that point in time..
      And another example is the Verve, now that's' a band that I could never stand.

    Youth culture changed after the millenium.There is no longer a geneartion gap and I don't believe young people view music as a vehicle to express themselves, their identity and their social / political views as maybe was the case in the decades up to the millenium. Social Media has transcended and dwarfed the importance that music use to hold as being in the forefront of a young person's psyche. The youth of today do not need musicians and whatever genre tribes to speak for them or represent them. They don't need a Morrissey or an Ian brown or even a Bowie or a Madonna. Social Media enables the youth to be their own stars and the world orbits around them. Music culture is a relic of the past. Just as us indie kids in the 1980'd scoffed at our parents genaration of crooners and big bands and maybe rock n roll. Music really is a dead culture.

      @@thadonis. Eh?! American alternative music going back to the late 80s with bands like RHCP and Faith No More was doing good business everywhere. Then Grunge happened and British music was dead in the water. Nirvana may have been have influenced by The Pixies and one or two other bands but the likes of them, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, STP and The Smashing Pumpkins were miles better and more original than Oasis. Noel's Beatles obsession in particular was cringe. Don't look back in Anger rips off Imagine, Wonderwall, their most overrated song, was ripped off from George Harrison, All Around the World rips off Strawberry Fields Forever, they mention 'Yellow Submarine' in Supersonic, She's Electric is A Little Help from My Friends. They rip off All the Young Dudes in Stand by Me, Cigarettes and Alcohol is Bang a Gong. Shakermaker is a rip off, What's the Story Morning Glory is The One I Love by REM. There are more examples but these are the most blatant. They are a tribute band, and not even a good one.

      Well, you don't know them. You're a grown man making assumptions about them personally because you don't like their public persona. I'm fairly certain Noel on the telly is a different person when around his kids. It's a persona, no different than any other celebrity. I know people who have fallen in love to 'Slide Away'. Fallen in LOVE. It doesn't matter how 'mediocre' Oasis are as musicians, when you have that level of ability to make people bond over your art, you're great. Oasis helped an entire generation bond. For a 'mediocre' musician, Noel sure has inspired many to pick up a guitar, that's the thing that puzzles me. Remember when Bob Dylans first three albums were open chord flatpicked G B A- D variations played until infinite? I guess his simplicity and (therefore) mediocrity of his work is beneath you also. Noel can't play like Clapton or Vai so he's mediocre. Got it. Sod the fact he saved guitar music in the 90's and that his brother made Jagger look like Eddie Izzard.
