Oasis split

[Frau_Blucher]

That's not really interesting news for me one way or the other. The Quietus though distinguishes itself again by not only its great coverage of bands that matter but how it covers bands that don't:

[b]Oasis Split. Nation Rejoices[/b]
- [i]John Doran , August 29th, 2009 05:40[/i]

[i]Fat handed rock lummoxes Oasis have finally been put out of our misery after splitting up yesterday (Friday).

The band, responsible for one good album, one alright album and a lot of cunting misery on top of that have split up five times before due to constant squabbling between the band's chief song writer Noel and genetically 'curious' singer, Liam.[/i]

...and so on. Well done.

That's a double whammy of bad news for these guys:

Were these guys really any good? Sure, I've heard a few songs which seem to be nice throwbacks to Beatles melodies, but seriously, is their split really worth mourning over?

Right on, it's not like when Wham! broke up or anything.

.. I never really could figure out why so many people rubbed-one-out over Oasis. They have always been somewhat over-rated IMO. They are legends in their own minds and (clearly now) always seemed to me as a bunch of small monkey-like twats rather than a band.

Never really cared much for Oasis. Liam Gallagher's whiny voice on every song was more than I could take.

[Wayne]

Yes Oasis were very good. The live version of Acquiesce, not to mention Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Live Forever, Whatever, etc. were great songs and a big part of the non nu-metal 90's music scene.

Why the Oasis bashing just because they split? It's better than that "Doot Doot" shit many of those on the board here seem to favor.

When your influences are crap, it logically follows that you will also be crap. Still, Wayne's right ... much better than a lot of what gets praised here.

Aw for old time's sake:

Thurston Moore (talking about his daughter) : "She really responds to the goodness of their songs, yeah. She and her friends have their own stuff they like, but she really responds to that good, classic '60s stuff like the Kinks and the Who and the Beatles without us having to force the issue at all. She certainly has access to it because we have that stuff around."
[:D]

Haha ... yeah. Thurston does like more than his share of cheesy crap. [:D] Even the greats can have occasional lapses in taste. Nothing wrong with The Kinks and The Who though!

Well whether it's Sonic Youth, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who or even (shudder) Oasis...no one holds a candle to this musical genius:
