Not a fan I'm afraid. I can see that they're good for a drunken singalong with your mates, but they seem one-paced with one sound. Prefer a bit of variety from a band.

Oasis. Are they "all that"?

I saw Oasis live only once - in 1994 - and thought they were great. Unlike other bands, they managed to get a really good, clean live sound, producing a very melodic wall of noise. Loved their first album, loved the singles from the second album. At the time, they were fresh and exciting (compared to grunge - a genre I loathed), but it's hard to remain fresh and exciting over a long period of time and I lost interest. My son loves them though. I think people will remember some of the singles and they will always be played. I'm sure they'll become fashionable to like again at some point in the future.

Oasis aren't just Wonderwall and Live Forever though, the B side collection is fantastic, if any of these were released now they would go to number 1 easily..
Rockin Chair, Slide Away and (It's Good) To Be Free are just a few of classic Oasis tracks.

Very much this for me too, I'm afraid and another thing for me is that, like a lot of Britpop, it hasn't aged very well. But each to their own, music's a very personal thing and I'm sure that some of the music that really moves me leaves other people feeling cold.

Yes, Blur seems to have aged much better.

They haven't aged well. Very of it's time.
But I still like the first record, most of the second record and a large number of the B-Sides they did around that time.
The remainder of their material might make one decent album if I'm feeling charitable.
Blur were far the superior band back then and have aged much, much better.

Never seen a crowd jump like they did at Glastonbury in 1995. About 30 degrees c that night and Liam still had his duffel on. And he wasn't sweating.
Nicely summarised.
And I can't stress enough the bit about them being of their time.
