So what? Does this make them big? It was the phenomenon of the moment. If it's for sold records, then even someone like Madonna, who can neither put 2 notes together, can be taken as an "artist". They had a fair start, but tell me Oasis songs you can put on the same history level of a U2's "One", a Beatles's "Yesterday", a Stones's "Gimme Shelter" ,a Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The Usa", a Bob Dylan's "Blowin In The Wind" or a Pearl Jam "Alive", just to mention the first examples that pop into my head. From these guys we could mention tons of great songs who remained in history. I'm not saying Oasis is all crap, they have some good songs, but never in the world songs you can even compare with many out there who made truly music history. I say this, because if someone states that this this this and that is shit, he should say it from a perspective of someone who has never missed a shot. Oasis are just one of the many, but they will be never the one. It's not professional at all from a musicians point of view to bash other musicians like drinking a glass of water. Everyone has taste, but I have never heard Bono Edge, Springsteen or Vedder talking shit about someone else. That's what makes the difference. Oasis throw shit on people like Keane by claiming themselves as the best: It's like in football England would spit over Andorra saying they're a crap team while they're much stronger. Then, when Noel claims U2 as one of the best bands, this is nothing else than an arse licking methode people like him have, because if he would say the same things over U2, his all credibilty wouldn't be worth 2 cents. What I suggest is just one thing, be a serious musician, just don't think that the world needs your bad comments about this and that band.
