Coldplay have more soul in their collective little toe than Oasis have ever had, or ever will have, as far as I'm concerned... and that's coming from someone who does quite like Oasis.
I really liked Definitely Maybe, and a fair bit of What's the Story. I liked the spirit in their early stuff, and still do. Nonetheless, I don't see how Noel, at the height of fame, could write lyrics like:
She's got a sister
and God only knows how I missed her
and on the palm of her hand is a blister.
... and still claim to be part of the "best band in the world". Don't think so, Noelyboy. It was hilarious then and is still funny now.
Neither Liam, Noel nor Chris M have half the charisma that Bono has - I find them boring front men compared to B.
