@@goldenclouds75 I'm a Blur fan, and I disagree. I like Blur's musical diversity and sound much more, but I think Oasis' work should also be respected.
I thought Oasis were shite at the time but today, seeing the likes of Sheeran as a young person's musical hero, I yearn for an obnoxious, loud guitar band.
both can be shite at least ppl arent walking around saying ed sheeran is the greatest i heard a lot of ppl saying oasis is the greatest band of all time🤣 and they have like more bad albums then 'good'
They're both pretty shite. There was much better music then, and also much better music now Sheeren, like Oasisi, is simply dull. One differrence might be that Sheeren seems like a nice enough chap. The brothers Galagher are just a pair of precks
Oasis will always be shite, they're just a bunch of Manc plebs, let's face it.............but there's plenty of good young guitar bands around these days, like the Molotovs. Obviously it's all fairly derivative, but they do it well......and they look good doing it too, which helps. PS: Just realised that there's a connection between Oasis and Sheeran.........they're both shamelessly plagiaristic, and don't seem to mind blatantly ripping off other people's riffs, the twats.
@@davebain1982 maybe not now but definitely back in the day. Seconding Tastemakers comment. It was all the chavs and neds who liked Oasis. Partly cause of Liams "hard man" routine. Arctic Monkeys were the same. Nicknamed "Chav rock" cause of their fanbase until their later albums and thats when all the chavs found their stuff "a bit too goff for me"
LOL how? You do realise streaming sites hijacked music and ended record sales? Made everything subscription only, and gave artists a tiny cut of it. The industry is a non viable living now, even for known acts.
Spice Girls killed it, I trace the time around the tabloids and media used that godawful collection of Mike Baldwins factory girls to smother the last remaining breath of life out of the British music scene which was already on life support, as the moment the hideous spirit we have today was first conjured up. It was followed shortly by seaside act Robbie Williams pretending to be an authentic rock star and a grotesquely dull post-Oasis generation buying the facade and the game was up, the tabloids and media were now dictating mass appeal. I don't even relate Cowell to genuine music. For those people old enough to remember 1970s/80s tv talent shows like Opportunity Knocks or New Faces, that was Cowell's area of expertise, mediocre amateur cabaret acts trying to hit the big time. The only difference in the 2000s is because the public were so gullible and gormless, the media and tabloids in league with Cowell managed to scam them for a few years into believing some of these acts were the real deal
@@goatlps Streaming sites, which pay musicians almost nothing, also enable listeners to hear a vast range of music that previously was close to unobtainable. I hear more great stuff now than when I was a teenager in the 80s. Technology has moved on; we have to find ways to move with it. Of course, under socialism this would not be a problem.
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.
Simon Cowell and all this pop idol/ X factor stuff killed British music. It was this that led to the flood of singers basically doing karaoke with back up session players.
Exactly. Spot on. Love or hate Oasis it's complete bollocks to suggest they killed British music. I wasn't their greatest fan, but if anything it put guitar music back into the mainstream after years of synthetic pop shite. Which is a good thing in my eyes.
really don't think that's correct. Music just has nowhere to go now. With every new decade everything sounded like the future, but now everything has already been done.
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
Every generation has music that is special to them, usually because it's what they get into in their early/mid teens and is the soundtrack to them 'coming of age'. It's more about the personal moment than the musicianship of the band itself. However, separate to that, Oasis wrote some really good songs early on, but even those were highly derivative and quite unoriginal, they seemed like the full stop in rock, as if they put everything that had gone before them in a pot and then dished it out, which is why it worked. It's mainstream for the common man. As Damon Albarn said, its' the musical equivalent of beans on toast. he was right. - And beans on toast is fine, but it is what it is, and it's not fine dining.
As someone that likes oasis and a great deal of the other bands you mentioned, I appreciate your ideas and your discussion about the trajectory of British music from the 80’s to the early 90’s. I don’t know if you are an author, but I’d read a book if you wrote it.
Guitar music got boring, it kinda regressed to standard rock (Oasis), looking back and taking inspiration from the Beatles. Bands weren’t developing a new sound or attitude. Lad rock. The post punk, new wave era were using both guitars and synths. Synth pop too v. Interesting and of its time. Guitarists like John mcgeoch, Marr, Flock of Seagull’s guy, Bauhaus, Banshees, Cult, Cocteau Twins etc, were approaching the guitar differently. With all the esoteric out there guitar effects now available I’m surprised there aren’t bands/players making more use commercially of them. Hopefully it’s just a cycle the music scene is going through and not something more fundamental.
I think you've got something there. It's weird how past bands had less technology but expermented more but today there's incredible computer & synth tech, very affordable, but no-one's trying to push boundaries. Today's pop sounds like it's stuck in the early 2000s. It's as if it follows a template now. Plus, it's mostly solo artists these days, few bands.
@@doctormellow . Somehow I feel it’s the times we’re now in. And culture reflects that. Oasis hark back to the mid, late nineties an altogether happier era compared to what’s happening in the world right now. Post pandemic, Brexit, wars, cost of living, debt, no wonder we want to look back. Oasis, are all about nostalgia. Taylor Swift is also part of this wave. It’s not particularly challenging, innovative, interesting or ground braking, just safe and a bit comfortable. Art needs something to push back from to react against. There’s plenty there to work with now, so who knows what or who’s around the corner. It takes a collective shift to process and distill all what’s happening and culturally project it into our field of view. Hopefully a change is due & imminent?
Nearly fell for your rage-bait title, but watched to the end where you acknowledge that they have been great and might just be the beginning of a renascence of British bands. I think that's a little optimistic, but who knows - certainly your critique of current indie music and the anodyne nature of the Glasto headliners of late is spot on.
Oasis worked because they were unashamedly what they were. That was the connection. It wasn't meant to be intellectual but you cannot deny Morning Glory was a great album, and the quality of songs like Don't Look Back in Anger. People didn't go for Oasis for sophistication, they were brilliant at just being who they were and that's what people loved about them. My favourite band of that era were the Manics, a very intellectual, poltically and socially aware band, and was interesting how they were among the first to give Oasis their props for being the band they could never be (Nicky Wire's words, not mine), that mass appeal required a common denominator and you can't fault Oasis for being that. Just the way they were and the way it is. I loved Suede, the Las, Blur, Smiths, Cure, Stone Roses all for different reasons. They all informed eachother. Never understood the need for having to receive these bands and their songs in a tribal manner. I only like a handful of Oasis songs but don't blame them for keeping it simple and being ambitious in their mass appeal. The general public get the music they deserve. It would have been better if they finished after 3 or 4 albums. I think if anybody killed anything it was Coldplay doing their best U2 imitation and festival favourites like Franz Ferdinands "Take Me Out" and the White Stripes "Seven Nation Army" being overplayed to the point of musical brain damage.. Agree re the importance of actual bands, regardless of what we think of their music.
They were shite, stole all the riffs off '70s bands & bozos fell for it. 'Don't look back' is just naff! Like listening to a Manchester Celine Dion, makes me cringe..
@@Pureevilhotsauce Yeah, crap music always seems to shift a lot of copies.........Abba, Elton John, Simply Red etc, etc. There's always been more tasteless plebs in this world than anyone else, and there'll always be naff bands catering to their mediocre tastes.....
@@Pureevilhotsauce I'm not sure popularity is a measure of quality! Let's face it, people are pretty f*uckin stupid. Boris Johnson won a landslide election victory, and he's a stupid c*nt.
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.
@@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.
I adore Oasis, but if you watch the whole video he actually wasn't that harsh on them. He's obviously not a fan, but he actually finishes up by saying he's excited for the reunion and that they could even save 'the band'. I'd even go as far as to say his title is a bit misleading.
@@fraserwebster8761 yes, very misleading then. Because I had enough of his opinion after 6 minutes. Missed 10. Not because of being any big Oasis fan, (they’re a very good band) …. But the “I’m correct and listen” type narrative. 6 minutes was enough.
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.
Decent assessment that...but would add Sweet were a fantastic band...there isn't much up but see some of their rock gigs on YT...They got "Chinn Chapmanned" into the charts with multiple cheesy top 10 hits. But they could properly play. Ditto Slade, who came up playing RnB before the chart action and becoming TOTP fixtures. In their pomp both those lead singers would knock Liam's one trick pony stuff out the park.
I was an avid NME/Melody Maker reader when they first emerged and they were an absolute breath of fresh air from these po-faced Guardians of Cool that would endlessly pontificate about Husker-Du or some other esoteric, niche bands that they gate-kept. Nirvana were the first band I solidly got in to at 14, so Oasis were arguably a departure from the intellectual depth of, them and, say the Manics or Suede. But I didn't care. Their music was euphoric, bombastic, and sound-tracked my early uni days. They embraced their success, rather than recoiling from it. Granted, your comment on lyrics are fair - but the melodies, while often derivative, still endure and I think you're understating how hard it is to write good, catchy pop music. George Martin rated NG as the best song writer of a generation. As for Brit pop, they rode that wave but never acknowledged they were part of it. It was a journo creation and a Noel frequently derided it.
same - i used to get sounds, melody maker and the nme every week for years - was the golden era of music journalism only thing close was pitchfork 2000-15 but thats gone to hell
things that killed music: grunge: started the decline and lack of interest in music due to its apathy and depressing droning. new media: video games, internet, social media, phone applications, streaming, anime - far more distractions from the late 90s to 2020s that made music less essential to life. piracy: once people defended piracy the interest in buying and supporting music plummeted. changes in format: napster pushed downloads and then itunes pushed the option that you could download 1 song at a time. it destroyed the reliance on the album. also the platform was restrictive and artists got less money. spotify also pushes a subscription radio format that doesn't really help artists and its algorithm makes everything feel piecemeal. apathy: people don't see music important anymore due to how accessible it is. most popular music icons now solely exist for psyops.
@@Mo-xx9ggThink McCauley is talking about music of quality that was breaking some ground. If music was truly alive the "heritage" acts wouldn't still be big tickets despite most not releasing anything decent for years.
Good shout sir. Your last line will be lost on many but you are very correct. Indeed the whole of the art, music, and film industries exist for that purpose.
@@Mo-xx9gg im speaking with as a young man. millienials didn't see music as important, embraced piracy before ditching the interest in music for other hobbies like video games, social media etc. Zoomers similarly never really bought music and embraced video games, meme culture, social media, politics and anime. it is what it is.
No way. Radiohead My personal 2 is the verve. Richard’s ridiculous and cringeworthy, but him and McCabe together are magic. 1st two albums are indie shoegaze powerhouses and Urban Hymns is one of the best pop albums ever made period
OCS was the greatest band around in those days, but calling oasis shit is a bit of a push :D i don's listen to them alot but they do have some great tracks, noel is good at what he does
OCS had the better singer, the better lyrics, the better musicianship, the better melodies, the better riffs. The only thing Oasis could match with Ocean Colour scene was their career trajectory.
They've sought acclaim from so many big guns and not one has provided any sort of endorsement. Generic, unoriginal, tiresome. Why does this need to be spelt out? Because it's the truth and very few people are saying it. Thank you for doing so.
I was obsessed with them, but critically - I was about 12-13 years old, I didn't know any better, it was all kind of brand new to me, even if they were re-treading old boring ground. It appealed to me because they seemed to have successfully divorced 'dancing' from music (I fucking hated dancing) and also it was a comprehensible instrumentation formula I could actually begin to understand, very simple chords and bare bones bass and drums that followed along. I was fucking thick back then. I'm still to this day learning about all the music Noel wholesale stole from others (not just 'influenced by' or 'paying homage' to). In retrospect, I actually think they're the original hipsters - cosplaying the working class (certainly by 2000, but arguably well before, Liam never worked a regular job), and that they were one of the most overt cons of the music industry, not only by stealing music from others but in having actual lyrics encouraging people to "believe" and so forth. I think Noel is simply extremely adept at knowing what people want to hear, very open-minded and liberal when assessing options, and masterful at manipulating both to his advantage - whether it's reconfiguring the coca cola jingle, telling a funny anecdote to an interviewer, or a juicy press release to the masses.
Well, I supported (with my then-band The.Nubiles) Oasis on their only toilet tour, a joint-headline affair with Whiteout (who had a really great single at the time). We were told they were "happening". We checked them out and we just couldn't believe how many things they had not going for them: 1) the sound. A barrage of chords at the same plodding pace, without dynamics, flair or inventiveness. 2) the plagiarism. We just couldn't believe the blatant rip-offs: the Marc Bolan song! The Coca Cola song! Many bits and pieces lifted from the Beaties, the Pistols, Slade, etc. 3) the cover of "I am the walrus", just assassinated in cold blood. 4) Noel's solos, which sounded like he had just learned the pentatonic scale and that was all he could play. 5) the look: I had grown up with the idea as the rock star as a beacon for all the misfits and square pegs and lonely souls. Seeing a band dressed like the sort of blokes who at school would kick the shit out of you for "looking like a poof" didn't fly. 6) the stage presence. They looked so monumentally bored, like playing the gig was a huge inconvenience to them, and they couldn't wait to finish so they could go back to watch the footie. I predicted they would go back to the Jobcentre within few months. It shows what I fucking know about music, eh?
Most music is built off other music to some extent. It's a tradition within blues and folk music to reuse old melodies and riffs to an extent. This modern preciousness about originality isn't actually all that natural. If you know about music theory or songwriting a lot of songs use the same 4 or 5 chords with different variations. There's only 12 notes you can possibly use in Western music. It's more about how you interpret things and whether it sounds honest and authentic.
PS sounds like you're bitter they had success and you did not. I get it to an extent I used to play in bands and we just criticized other bands a lot of the time.
@@carnmarth334 by definition any band that becomes the biggest band in the world isn’t shit - do you have any idea how many thousands of other groups desperately aspire to do that ? To sell tens of millions of albums and to sell out stadiums ?
Don´t forget Buster Bloodvessel´s contribtuions to world peace... He was always true to himself and brought a cease fire to Azerbaijan. His work with Philip Glass when he re-recorded his Berlin albums are just phenomenal. When Buster sang with Robbie at Glastonbury he saved my life.... When Buster made his smash hit film "a Tongue is Born", I knew then I wanted to be a film maker... Don´t hate Qasis, learn to love like Buster !!
I found it interesting because I've had much the same kind of thinking, in that nobody really followed Oasis until the radio friendly dull bands came along, and if nothing else, the clamour for Oasis might set industry people thinking that maybe there is a market for bands out there. One festival that doesn't get much attention is The Rebellion Festival, perhaps understandably as it is a bit of a niche scene, but it does a good job of trying to promote new bands, both from the UK and abroad. Personally I tend to look to East Asia for music now, which has a great underground scene, despite the dominance of J-Pop, but I'd love to know bands from here. Another issue is that younger people steroetypically aren't interested in checking out new bands. They'd rather see a cover band play songs they know, playing in the corner of a pub, than going to a live venue.
Oasis were kind of the lowest common denominator, that would make "alternative rock" edible for people who swear to the top 20. In that way they were anything but representative of the actually listenable bands in that whole subculture of the music map, yet they were the ones that inspired most people probably. And those people would make their own watered down versions of Oasis' already simple rendition of something that used to be quite good. Oasis were the Hot Topic of indie music in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with that, to be honest. We all need a gateway. But it's insane how celebrated they are today.
Foment not "forment". First album plus a few B-sides. The rest is tripe. None of it stood the test of time. Still, I would take it all over bedwetting Chubby Ginger music.
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.
Listen to the isolated track on youtube of Liam singing Step Out. I could feel the physical force of his voice through the speakers. Mick Jagger is Mick Jagger, but NEVER was he '94/'95 Liam Gallagher.
I actually think Oasis were more original than some people like to give them credit for. Noel gallaghers chords and chord changes don't obviously sound like another band, the Beatles influence was more cosmetic than anything. There's nothing wrong with writing songs with hooks.
Saw Oasis at an arena show around 2002. It's the only time I've ever camped out overnight to get a spot near the front.... Was boring. Was a huge fan about 3 years earlier. More interested in the Japanese idol music scene these days. Only a handful of newer traditional western bands have had any interest for me in the last 10 years.
the record companies completely control music now. they choose a singer, they place a songwriting team and session musicians around them, and have a their own PR team to push them. the radio stations are also in the record companies pockets. so as you say, we now have this weird mish mash of record companies planted solo acts and dinosaur reunion bands.
Hot take, crying for attention. The first 2 albums were obviously great, albeit DM was terribly recorded for sound quality. How did they hurt anyone else? All music was killed by streaming sites ending purchases and giving acts peanuts, clearly.
@@kevinb9830 I saw a documentary about Rockfield studios a while back. When it got past all the great classic acts and got to the 90s and Oasis, the Gallaghers talked about how they were more interested in going to the local pub than recording, and rushed the sessions so they could get down there and start boozing. Bunch of amateurs.
In the midst of all the Britpop stuff, TFI Friday etc, AC/DC came back out of nowhere with Ballbreaker and showed everyone how it's done.... Mid-90s Oasis went perfectly with Beavis and Butt-head at the time... stripped down, dumbed down, but with an irresistible appeal if you were susceptible to them.... the Gallaghers later stuff was King of the Hill and Daria...
I like your how you brought us through that period and remembered it very much as you do. I was late teens and that Stoneroses album was beautiful and a perfect backdrop for that time. I was actually thrown out by Second coming..it didn't quite land though I appreciated what they were going for. Strange not long after one or two bands kinda followed suit. It was the first great explosion of music in this country for decades. There was so much great music and it meant something. I agree it all became watered down and we're left with just a few decent bands.
Oasis were brilliant. Energetic, true rock music. When you become too obsessed with technicality & musical skill, you tend to dismiss a band like Oasis but somehow praise the dull, apathetic shoegazers. And don't get me wrong, I like a few Stone Roses songs, but they had absolutely NOTHING to say. It took you about ten seconds to recite every lyric from 'I Wanna Be Adored'. The music's nice, but there's practically no lyrics whatsoever. You may not regard 'I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin & tonic' as a good lyric, but it is cool as hell. Much cooler than Slowdive droaning on about fuckall. Sometimes a band can appeal to people, can mean a lot to people, because of their image, what they say, how they act. It's not all about your guitar pedal or your bass line or your drum beat. Personally at the moment I much prefer a song like 'Slide Away' to 'I Wanna Be Adored". Though years ago I wouldn't have said this, Oasis were miles better than Blur, far more authentic, far more real. Pulp & Blur were the novelty side of britpop; Oasis & Suede were real rock. Also that Welsh band you forgot were the Manic Street Preachers! Better lyrics than any of the other bands mentioned.
@@GratuitousGaming2363 all the little references to things in pretty much every line .. pretty mind boggling , im not gonna pretend I understand every one .. im really intrigued by the '10 foot sign in Oxford Street' one and 'King cigarette snuffed out by her midgets' is a metaphor im sure even though there were King cigarettes.
89-93 is peak indie for me, which is very different from post punk indeed. Seefeel, Pram, Faith Healers, early Verve, Rollerskate Skinny, Disco Inferno, Flying Saucer Attack, etc. And yes, the shoegaze indeed. But by 93 and Oasis (plus Suede, second Blur, second Verve, etc), you had to go to Aphex twin, Black Dog, autechre, etc, or Drum and bass, or Dave Clarke/Ben Sims/etc, or Scorn/Techno Animal, or Coil/Muslimgauze/NWW. So Oasis only killed indie, not British music. And maybe Indie had already gone full circle anyways,with acts like Laïka, who were already integrating Morricone, Eno, hip hop, ethnomusicology, post punk and electronics. So let's not reduce british music to pop rock ^^. On a side note, The Utopia STrong have played their third Glastonburry in a row now, and are fantastic. I hope they play at my festival next year ^^ But yeah, it is a shite festival, indeed, as are most big festivals, if not all. Cheers, Stunty
@@thebrownnotereview8473 I still find amazing brit music every year, and that is the purpose of my channel. But barely anything that stands a chance to break the underground glass ceiling
I wish I could have been in a shite band and sold millions of records. I take my hat off to any musician trying to write and play their own songs, if you don’t like it don’t listen.
"If you don’t like it don’t listen", eh? You obviously weren't around at the time. Not once did I voluntarily listen to shit like Oasis, and I nevertheless had to hear their shit all of the time. Even on the news. They were, and are, a steaming pile of shit, beloved of a country that loves morons and thugs and detests anything original.
I have to agree with the video , Oasis were the only band that pulled me back slightly from all the dance genres that were breaking out throughout the 90’s.They brought in lad culture and yes the music was rowdy pub anthems looking back. Noel apologised for ruining dance music.Maybe they can bring back bands were see.
Oasis - love 'em or hate 'em or just plain don't care for them - either way - they did NOT "Kill" British Music. In fact they simply repackaged a pile of it. TV 'Talent' competition shows killed British Music. 100%.
Every era of great music/art has a threshold, after which, it naturally starts to fall into a decline or morphs into something else, something less exciting. You can't blame one band, or one artist for the decline. It just happens naturally. These waves of creativity simply cannot continue to flourish indefinitely. It's a natural cycle. Eventually, something great, new and exciting will inevitably emerge from the current creative vacuum that has existed for the last 30 years...even if it's only a resurgence of the guitar band. When the way forward is decidedly less obvious and far more challenging than ever, sometimes the only way forward is take a few steps back in order to reconnect with that creative surge. Oasis simply emerged at the end of that particular cycle of creativity. They didn't kill it. If anything, they prolonged it for a few years.
I came for the brilliant click-bait title and stayed for the can of WD-40. Brilliant studio set-up, with the counter-top clutter and the folding chair - it really does look exactly like some random British bloke's den! I enjoyed the thoughtful commentary too. Keep it up! 🙂
Go listen to "Inspiral Carpets - This Is How It Feels". This wipes the floor with Oasis, Stone Roses, Blur, Pulp you name it. How simple it is, how original. No Britpop band made a song as good as this. There were good Britpop bands, like Sleeper and Echobelly.
I enjoyed your assessment. Sadly, I feel that the Pop/Rock we have enjoyed since the 1950s onwards will continue to burn out, with the odd rogue ember that sets the carpet smouldering (Viagra Boys at the moment!). The nature of progress is to reduce people's attention span, they become bored quickly, then consume more product. If you expect this group of devolutionaries to spend 75% of their childhoods learning the pentatonic scale, you're as deluded as Sam Smith.
I can't help thinking The jesus and mary chain is what oasis wanted to be. Love that they're still recording. The vast number of tunes by now is seriously consistent. They are magic and killer live.
I always saw Oasis as chancers. They made a modicum of talent stretch a long way. Noel occasionally came up with a good riff or chord progression, but then their lyrics exposed their lack of any coherent track of thought or genuine feeling. Noel freely admitting he struggled with lyrics and ransacked other songs when lacking inspiration, with odds and sods of phrases cobbled together, as long as they rhymed at the end of lines it appears it was good enough for them. With a lot of bombast, publicity and front they could brazen it out with a bully boy attitude, but the real joke was when they tried to emulate their heroes, claiming they were bigger than The Beatles. Even their best attempts didn't match what Neil Innes had already achieved with The Rutles, his pastiches were clever, affectionate, more melodic and most crucially really enjoyed by George Harrison and John Lennon. Harrison was disparaging about Oasis, and it really annoyed them, with Noel threatening to punch Harrison if he ever met him.
I think music needs both bands like Oasis (energy and attitude, comfortable and easy dor the masses) and Sonic Youth (noise and art) and UR (dancefloor focused). What it doesn;t need is shit like Blur, Radiohead, Coldplay, Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller etc etc
They weren't shite. First time I saw them in a tiny club in Liverpool in 93 I knew they were gonna explode. I saw loads of bands in small clubs in Liverpool and played myself but they had something no one else did and they proved themselves.

In response to a number of comments about Mr Cowell, to a certain extent Simon Cowell has played his part in destroying British music. However, to be fair, he has admitted to not having great understanding of music but rather comprehending what the general public like. Whenever, one of the wanabees on his shows does something that the audience likes he responds by pressing his buzzer. By extension, it is the general public that have a larger part to play in the destruction of music. Back in the day, when the charts were based on actual sales of records, not on free downloads, we had to think very carefully before parting with our hard earned cash for a single or an album. Thus, the charts were based on what people really invested their money in. With free downloads available music has become as disposable as fast-food. However, the public are still making decisions even if it is a brief click on a computer mouse. I don't think Ed Sheerhan would have got a recording contract during the heyday of the singer songwriter as the competition would have been too great for his level. Cat Stevens, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Clifford T.Ward, Duncan Brown (to name just a few) were real songwriters. However, I think Oasis would still have gained a recording contract.
are oasis doing a new album or even a new single? if not well liam has been doing the oasis stuff live for ages they only broke up in 2009 is it that much of a big deal? if new stuff is coming fine
Let's be honest: The internet, MP3 and music for free for all killed the whole industry. Nevermind just the British side. Music for 99p and no album sales or the like killed it all.
I agree with a lot of the comments oasis didn’t kill British music more over bought back guitar based music that people could relate to the stuff on DM I can certanly relate to morning glory I couldn’t relate to I think as the years went buy music was changing with so many different groups and of course when downloading and sharing became a thing I think that’s where music really died
The record industry and the fashionistas ruined music. There was a brief time when bands played again then were copied and processed in such quick time that the blossoming scene died before it could grown. Stillborn so to speak.
Maybe they were a factor along with Simon Cowell and Spotify. Mainly this country is over and there is nowhere for these bands to spring from anymore, and they wouldn't be noticed if they did.
Yet strangely, artists are still around as much as ever before. What about when artists had to plead for wealthy patrons to take them on? Classical music history can teach us a lot.
@@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx People that call themselves artists are still around, not quite the same thing. A guy took his manky shoe off in an art gallery and stood back. The patrons started stopping and admiring it, taking photographs, because it was indistinguishable from the other crap they thought it was an exhibit
The 4 later eighties and early nineties albums Black Celebration. Music for the Masses. Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche will remain unsurpassed for a very very long time. Martin Gores songwriting then was fuckin unbelievable!!
'Madchester' was a production line of untalented, manufactured, bucket hat, kagoul and baggy jeans, Manc bands churned out by Tony wilson. Most are long forgotten, but some slipped through the net, like Oasis. Happy Mondays' best record, 'step on' was a cover version of a 1971 record by John Kongos.
But the video description says `And in an era where music festivals are dying, featuring rote pop acts as headliners, with no musicians and backing tracks, how the Oasis reunion could save music, by bringing back the band.` Which is closer to the truth. So the title is the worst kind of clickbait. Say `Oasis Can Save British Music?`, and you`d have way more comments.
I thought you were going to lay into Oasis, not apologise for them, and say they were kind of alright really. And another thing - despite the erratic attempts by Maximo Park after their debut, I still think their first - A Certain Trigger - is a terrific album. Not a bad track on there. Of course that was almost 20 bleedin' years ago, so we're talking ancient history now 🫤
i think i lay into them a bit, i mean other than their first 3 years or so, all the rest of their music is awful - and even then they were pale imitations of far better music. but the music they inspired was even more toiet
@@thebrownnotereview8473 Fair play - you did lay into them a little bit. Not as much as they deserve, but a bit nonetheless. I think in a parallel universe, Swervedriver would have been the ones to take off from the Creation label and Oasis would have been a sidenote.
I absolutely love how Oasis live rent free in the heads of their haters. Especially when they are so triggered that they go and make a TH-cam video about them. It's just hilarious! :)
Good title lmao i dont like oasis either but i think irs unfair to call them shite. They're a talented band with millions of fans arent they. What puts me off them is the greed with their recent comeback show ticket prices. Theyre worth 100 million or so apparently but still wanna rip fans off. At this point they should be charging as little as possible for tickets and should be grateful for the huge success and wealth.
@@bieituns The Beatles were in the charts last year with 'Now And Then' At the London Olympics in 2012 Russel Brand sang 'I am The Walrus' 2010 - complete music catalogue released on iTunes 2006 - premiere of Cirque Du Soleil's 'Love' A few months later the album was released. 1995 - 'Free As A Bird' is released. 1996 - 'Anthology' is released 1996 - 'Real Love' is released 1996 - 'Anthology 2 & 3' released This is just a tiny snippet.

@@stevestevenson1486 You don't need to tell me mate, I am from Liverpool, I am on my way for a drink with David Aspinall, Neil Aspinals brother. I grew up with the Beatles all my life so it's easy to take for granted. But the fact is there are still many people who don't know who the Beatles are or do not appreciate their music many people in the younger generation are listening to rap and hip hop. Rock bands have virtually disappeared, but thankfully Oasis have carried the torch and are one of the few bands attempting to keep it alive. And anyway, its quite snobbish of you to have such an attitude. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and Oasis has done a great deal to keep the Beatles memory front and centre and I think John Lennon would be appreciative

Nonsense, Oasis where one of the few lights in a dying chart scene caused by manufactured pop and cookie cutter filler from the big labels. Which was later ramped up further with pop idol and x-factor which subsequently, totally ruined British chart music in now what seems is forever and ever will be. There was still good music out there and still is... the clued in will always find it. This piece could be more of a class thing than a music one, to be frank.
Oasis and Blur did help get guitar music back on the radio and tv. Unfortunately a lot of the other groups were pants and some other decent bands (Ride, Verve) completely changed their sound in order to be as bland and plodding as Oasis. By 1996 it was largely game over for interesting guitar music. Then in the 2000's a second wave of bands came along who were influenced by the Strokes succcess , and so we had Libertines, Razorshite and countless tight jeaned landfill indie groups. No wonder the kids are now going back to shoegaze

I thought Oasis were shite at the time but today, seeing the likes of Sheeran as a young person's musical hero, I yearn for an obnoxious, loud guitar band.
both can be shite at least ppl arent walking around saying ed sheeran is the greatest i heard a lot of ppl saying oasis is the greatest band of all time🤣 and they have like more bad albums then 'good'
They're both pretty shite. There was much better music then, and also much better music now
Sheeren, like Oasisi, is simply dull.
One differrence might be that Sheeren seems like a nice enough chap. The brothers Galagher are just a pair of precks

Oasis will always be shite, they're just a bunch of Manc plebs, let's face it.............but there's plenty of good young guitar bands around these days, like the Molotovs. Obviously it's all fairly derivative, but they do it well......and they look good doing it too, which helps.
PS: Just realised that there's a connection between Oasis and Sheeran.........they're both shamelessly plagiaristic, and don't seem to mind blatantly ripping off other people's riffs, the twats.
you will get your wish sooner than you think.
I heard recently Oasis described as "music for men in tracksuits"..😆
Not as funny as Depeche Mode being called 'Football hooligans pretending to be sensitive wimps'
My old work buddy called oasis "neds with guitars"
Don’t know who you think wears tracksuits but it certainly ain’t oasis fans ffs

Simon Cowell killed British Music(and American too, for that matter), you're just trying to be controversial.
LOL how? You do realise streaming sites hijacked music and ended record sales? Made everything subscription only, and gave artists a tiny cut of it. The industry is a non viable living now, even for known acts.
Stock, Aitken & Waterman for me....But I know what you mean.
Spice Girls killed it, I trace the time around the tabloids and media used that godawful collection of Mike Baldwins factory girls to smother the last remaining breath of life out of the British music scene which was already on life support, as the moment the hideous spirit we have today was first conjured up. It was followed shortly by seaside act Robbie Williams pretending to be an authentic rock star and a grotesquely dull post-Oasis generation buying the facade and the game was up, the tabloids and media were now dictating mass appeal.
I don't even relate Cowell to genuine music. For those people old enough to remember 1970s/80s tv talent shows like Opportunity Knocks or New Faces, that was Cowell's area of expertise, mediocre amateur cabaret acts trying to hit the big time. The only difference in the 2000s is because the public were so gullible and gormless, the media and tabloids in league with Cowell managed to scam them for a few years into believing some of these acts were the real deal
Stock Aitken and Waterman killed British music. Simon Cowell was just the music version of Tony Blair.
@@goatlps Streaming sites, which pay musicians almost nothing, also enable listeners to hear a vast range of music that previously was close to unobtainable. I hear more great stuff now than when I was a teenager in the 80s. Technology has moved on; we have to find ways to move with it. Of course, under socialism this would not be a problem.
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.
Ocean colour scene were just another britpop.Better than most but Oasis overall were much better
😂
They were too retro
Ocean colour scene?! They were so derivative and pedestrian.
Ocean Colour Scene were the sort of band that made Shed fucking 7 look like world beaters
Simon Cowell and all this pop idol/ X factor stuff killed British music. It was this that led to the flood of singers basically doing karaoke with back up session players.
Exactly. Spot on. Love or hate Oasis it's complete bollocks to suggest they killed British music. I wasn't their greatest fan, but if anything it put guitar music back into the mainstream after years of synthetic pop shite. Which is a good thing in my eyes.
equally to blame
@@thebrownnotereview8473 Bullshit.
really don't think that's correct. Music just has nowhere to go now. With every new decade everything sounded like the future, but now everything has already been done.
Stock..Waterman, already did that in the era described, when Indie music went Public School.
Always thought it was Coldplay that killed British music
Coldplay killed the whole of music 😁😁😂

Coldplay are one band I would love to see struck by lightning
I could listen to them after a gram of Coke and a bottle of brandy, alone in an empty warehouse London E1.
Thanks junkie…chat later dinosaur
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
Noel slagged off Keane. The middle class tosser making this video is typical of the working class hatred that his type embody
Every generation has music that is special to them, usually because it's what they get into in their early/mid teens and is the soundtrack to them 'coming of age'. It's more about the personal moment than the musicianship of the band itself.
However, separate to that, Oasis wrote some really good songs early on, but even those were highly derivative and quite unoriginal, they seemed like the full stop in rock, as if they put everything that had gone before them in a pot and then dished it out, which is why it worked. It's mainstream for the common man. As Damon Albarn said, its' the musical equivalent of beans on toast. he was right. -
And beans on toast is fine, but it is what it is, and it's not fine dining.
As someone that likes oasis and a great deal of the other bands you mentioned, I appreciate your ideas and your discussion about the trajectory of British music from the 80’s to the early 90’s. I don’t know if you are an author, but I’d read a book if you wrote it.
@user-gy8xe1om3o probably the nicest thing anyone has said about me!
I wasn't too hard on them really
What a depressing man , turgid.
Like a pair of curdled testicles?
Guitar music got boring, it kinda regressed to standard rock (Oasis), looking back and taking inspiration from the Beatles. Bands weren’t developing a new sound or attitude. Lad rock. The post punk, new wave era were using both guitars and synths. Synth pop too v. Interesting and of its time. Guitarists like John mcgeoch, Marr, Flock of Seagull’s guy, Bauhaus, Banshees, Cult, Cocteau Twins etc, were approaching the guitar differently. With all the esoteric out there guitar effects now available I’m surprised there aren’t bands/players making more use commercially of them. Hopefully it’s just a cycle the music scene is going through and not something more fundamental.
I think you've got something there. It's weird how past bands had less technology but expermented more but today there's incredible computer & synth tech, very affordable, but no-one's trying to push boundaries. Today's pop sounds like it's stuck in the early 2000s. It's as if it follows a template now. Plus, it's mostly solo artists these days, few bands.
@@doctormellow . Somehow I feel it’s the times we’re now in. And culture reflects that. Oasis hark back to the mid, late nineties an altogether happier era compared to what’s happening in the world right now. Post pandemic, Brexit, wars, cost of living, debt, no wonder we want to look back. Oasis, are all about nostalgia. Taylor Swift is also part of this wave. It’s not particularly challenging, innovative, interesting or ground braking, just safe and a bit comfortable. Art needs something to push back from to react against. There’s plenty there to work with now, so who knows what or who’s around the corner. It takes a collective shift to process and distill all what’s happening and culturally project it into our field of view. Hopefully a change is due & imminent?
Nearly fell for your rage-bait title, but watched to the end where you acknowledge that they have been great and might just be the beginning of a renascence of British bands. I think that's a little optimistic, but who knows - certainly your critique of current indie music and the anodyne nature of the Glasto headliners of late is spot on.
Oasis worked because they were unashamedly what they were. That was the connection. It wasn't meant to be intellectual but you cannot deny Morning Glory was a great album, and the quality of songs like Don't Look Back in Anger. People didn't go for Oasis for sophistication, they were brilliant at just being who they were and that's what people loved about them. My favourite band of that era were the Manics, a very intellectual, poltically and socially aware band, and was interesting how they were among the first to give Oasis their props for being the band they could never be (Nicky Wire's words, not mine), that mass appeal required a common denominator and you can't fault Oasis for being that. Just the way they were and the way it is. I loved Suede, the Las, Blur, Smiths, Cure, Stone Roses all for different reasons. They all informed eachother. Never understood the need for having to receive these bands and their songs in a tribal manner. I only like a handful of Oasis songs but don't blame them for keeping it simple and being ambitious in their mass appeal. The general public get the music they deserve. It would have been better if they finished after 3 or 4 albums. I think if anybody killed anything it was Coldplay doing their best U2 imitation and festival favourites like Franz Ferdinands "Take Me Out" and the White Stripes "Seven Nation Army" being overplayed to the point of musical brain damage.. Agree re the importance of actual bands, regardless of what we think of their music.
They were shite, stole all the riffs off '70s bands & bozos fell for it. 'Don't look back' is just naff! Like listening to a Manchester Celine Dion, makes me cringe..
"you cannot deny Morning Glory was a great album"
I'd fucking well deny it. What a slurry of dirge-rock pub shit.
@@carnmarth334 That sold millions lol...
@@Pureevilhotsauce Yeah, crap music always seems to shift a lot of copies.........Abba, Elton John, Simply Red etc, etc. There's always been more tasteless plebs in this world than anyone else, and there'll always be naff bands catering to their mediocre tastes.....
@@Pureevilhotsauce I'm not sure popularity is a measure of quality! Let's face it, people are pretty f*uckin stupid. Boris Johnson won a landslide election victory, and he's a stupid c*nt.
Absolutely spot on about the difference between the roses and oasis. I always said oasis were the best Slade tribute band in Manchester.
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.
The 2nd album was on par if not better than the 1st and what band that came after that sounded like them?
@@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.
Oasis are the Nickelback of British guitar bands..........👎
I adore Oasis, but if you watch the whole video he actually wasn't that harsh on them. He's obviously not a fan, but he actually finishes up by saying he's excited for the reunion and that they could even save 'the band'. I'd even go as far as to say his title is a bit misleading.
@@fraserwebster8761 yes, very misleading then.
Because I had enough of his opinion after 6 minutes. Missed 10.
Not because of being any big Oasis fan, (they’re a very good band) …. But the “I’m correct and listen” type narrative.
6 minutes was enough.
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.
He doesn't really lay any blame at Oasis' feet. He just described what happened.
Spot on. I'd like to add, that Status Quo are a tad more original.
Decent assessment that...but would add Sweet were a fantastic band...there isn't much up but see some of their rock gigs on YT...They got "Chinn Chapmanned" into the charts with multiple cheesy top 10 hits. But they could properly play.
Ditto Slade, who came up playing RnB before the chart action and becoming TOTP fixtures. In their pomp both those lead singers would knock Liam's one trick pony stuff out the park.
What does relevant even mean?
@@banbrotam Yeah, I shouldn't have lumped Status Quo in there. They defined their own sound completely.
I was an avid NME/Melody Maker reader when they first emerged and they were an absolute breath of fresh air from these po-faced Guardians of Cool that would endlessly pontificate about Husker-Du or some other esoteric, niche bands that they gate-kept. Nirvana were the first band I solidly got in to at 14, so Oasis were arguably a departure from the intellectual depth of, them and, say the Manics or Suede. But I didn't care. Their music was euphoric, bombastic, and sound-tracked my early uni days. They embraced their success, rather than recoiling from it.
Granted, your comment on lyrics are fair - but the melodies, while often derivative, still endure and I think you're understating how hard it is to write good, catchy pop music. George Martin rated NG as the best song writer of a generation.
As for Brit pop, they rode that wave but never acknowledged they were part of it. It was a journo creation and a Noel frequently derided it.
same - i used to get sounds, melody maker and the nme every week for years - was the golden era of music journalism
only thing close was pitchfork 2000-15 but thats gone to hell
things that killed music: grunge: started the decline and lack of interest in music due to its apathy and depressing droning.
new media: video games, internet, social media, phone applications, streaming, anime - far more distractions from the late 90s to 2020s that made music less essential to life.
piracy: once people defended piracy the interest in buying and supporting music plummeted.
changes in format: napster pushed downloads and then itunes pushed the option that you could download 1 song at a time. it destroyed the reliance on the album. also the platform was restrictive and artists got less money. spotify also pushes a subscription radio format that doesn't really help artists and its algorithm makes everything feel piecemeal.
apathy: people don't see music important anymore due to how accessible it is. most popular music icons now solely exist for psyops.
Music is very much alive! Perhaps it is your age speaking, grandpa!
@@Mo-xx9ggThink McCauley is talking about music of quality that was breaking some ground. If music was truly alive the "heritage" acts wouldn't still be big tickets despite most not releasing anything decent for years.
Good shout sir. Your last line will be lost on many but you are very correct. Indeed the whole of the art, music, and film industries exist for that purpose.
@@Mo-xx9gg im speaking with as a young man. millienials didn't see music as important, embraced piracy before ditching the interest in music for other hobbies like video games, social media etc. Zoomers similarly never really bought music and embraced video games, meme culture, social media, politics and anime. it is what it is.

Hello Andrei.
Spoken like a true thick coloniser
Melodramatic much
They've sought acclaim from so many big guns and not one has provided any sort of endorsement. Generic, unoriginal, tiresome. Why does this need to be spelt out? Because it's the truth and very few people are saying it. Thank you for doing so.
I was obsessed with them, but critically - I was about 12-13 years old, I didn't know any better, it was all kind of brand new to me, even if they were re-treading old boring ground. It appealed to me because they seemed to have successfully divorced 'dancing' from music (I fucking hated dancing) and also it was a comprehensible instrumentation formula I could actually begin to understand, very simple chords and bare bones bass and drums that followed along. I was fucking thick back then. I'm still to this day learning about all the music Noel wholesale stole from others (not just 'influenced by' or 'paying homage' to). In retrospect, I actually think they're the original hipsters - cosplaying the working class (certainly by 2000, but arguably well before, Liam never worked a regular job), and that they were one of the most overt cons of the music industry, not only by stealing music from others but in having actual lyrics encouraging people to "believe" and so forth. I think Noel is simply extremely adept at knowing what people want to hear, very open-minded and liberal when assessing options, and masterful at manipulating both to his advantage - whether it's reconfiguring the coca cola jingle, telling a funny anecdote to an interviewer, or a juicy press release to the masses.
Well, I supported (with my then-band The.Nubiles) Oasis on their only toilet tour, a joint-headline affair with Whiteout (who had a really great single at the time). We were told they were "happening". We checked them out and we just couldn't believe how many things they had not going for them:
1) the sound. A barrage of chords at the same plodding pace, without dynamics, flair or inventiveness.
2) the plagiarism. We just couldn't believe the blatant rip-offs: the Marc Bolan song! The Coca Cola song! Many bits and pieces lifted from the Beaties, the Pistols, Slade, etc. 3) the cover of "I am the walrus", just assassinated in cold blood.
4) Noel's solos, which sounded like he had just learned the pentatonic scale and that was all he could play.
5) the look: I had grown up with the idea as the rock star as a beacon for all the misfits and square pegs and lonely souls. Seeing a band dressed like the sort of blokes who at school would kick the shit out of you for "looking like a poof" didn't fly.
6) the stage presence. They looked so monumentally bored, like playing the gig was a huge inconvenience to them, and they couldn't wait to finish so they could go back to watch the footie.
I predicted they would go back to the Jobcentre within few months. It shows what I fucking know about music, eh?
No, you were right. On all counts. They were shit. Still are.
Most music is built off other music to some extent. It's a tradition within blues and folk music to reuse old melodies and riffs to an extent. This modern preciousness about originality isn't actually all that natural. If you know about music theory or songwriting a lot of songs use the same 4 or 5 chords with different variations. There's only 12 notes you can possibly use in Western music. It's more about how you interpret things and whether it sounds honest and authentic.
PS sounds like you're bitter they had success and you did not. I get it to an extent I used to play in bands and we just criticized other bands a lot of the time.
@@carnmarth334 by definition any band that becomes the biggest band in the world isn’t shit - do you have any idea how many thousands of other groups desperately aspire to do that ? To sell tens of millions of albums and to sell out stadiums ?

His work with Philip Glass when he re-recorded his Berlin albums are just phenomenal. When Buster sang with Robbie at Glastonbury he saved my life.... When Buster made his smash hit film "a Tongue is Born", I knew then I wanted to be a film maker... Don´t hate Qasis, learn to love like Buster !!
I heard Lip Up Fatty was President Zelenskyy's favourite song!
I found it interesting because I've had much the same kind of thinking, in that nobody really followed Oasis until the radio friendly dull bands came along, and if nothing else, the clamour for Oasis might set industry people thinking that maybe there is a market for bands out there. One festival that doesn't get much attention is The Rebellion Festival, perhaps understandably as it is a bit of a niche scene, but it does a good job of trying to promote new bands, both from the UK and abroad. Personally I tend to look to East Asia for music now, which has a great underground scene, despite the dominance of J-Pop, but I'd love to know bands from here. Another issue is that younger people steroetypically aren't interested in checking out new bands. They'd rather see a cover band play songs they know, playing in the corner of a pub, than going to a live venue.
Time killed off music. There was a creative bubble from the 60s to the 80s, that simply shrunk in the 90s and burst soon after.
Oasis were kind of the lowest common denominator, that would make "alternative rock" edible for people who swear to the top 20.
In that way they were anything but representative of the actually listenable bands in that whole subculture of the music map, yet they were the ones that inspired most people probably.
And those people would make their own watered down versions of Oasis' already simple rendition of something that used to be quite good.
Oasis were the Hot Topic of indie music in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with that, to be honest.
We all need a gateway. But it's insane how celebrated they are today.
Foment not "forment". First album plus a few B-sides. The rest is tripe. None of it stood the test of time. Still, I would take it all over bedwetting Chubby Ginger music.
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.
Listen to the isolated track on youtube of Liam singing Step Out. I could feel the physical force of his voice through the speakers. Mick Jagger is Mick Jagger, but NEVER was he '94/'95 Liam Gallagher.
I still hear "a deep well of tuneless mind-thumping dance music" every time certain cars drive around my estate.
I actually think Oasis were more original than some people like to give them credit for. Noel gallaghers chords and chord changes don't obviously sound like another band, the Beatles influence was more cosmetic than anything. There's nothing wrong with writing songs with hooks.
Saw Oasis at an arena show around 2002. It's the only time I've ever camped out overnight to get a spot near the front.... Was boring.
Was a huge fan about 3 years earlier.
More interested in the Japanese idol music scene these days. Only a handful of newer traditional western bands have had any interest for me in the last 10 years.
Finally, someone said the quiet part out loud.
the record companies completely control music now. they choose a singer, they place a songwriting team and session musicians around them, and have a their own PR team to push them. the radio stations are also in the record companies pockets. so as you say, we now have this weird mish mash of record companies planted solo acts and dinosaur reunion bands.
Hot take, crying for attention. The first 2 albums were obviously great, albeit DM was terribly recorded for sound quality. How did they hurt anyone else? All music was killed by streaming sites ending purchases and giving acts peanuts, clearly.
They hurt my ears..
It's no use saying they were obviously great. I didn't like Oasis or their music at all. Felt souless to me.
@@kevinb9830 I saw a documentary about Rockfield studios a while back. When it got past all the great classic acts and got to the 90s and Oasis, the Gallaghers talked about how they were more interested in going to the local pub than recording, and rushed the sessions so they could get down there and start boozing. Bunch of amateurs.
Yeah well that's why music is completely subjective. Just cause you think it's bad doesn't mean it is.
Suede are by far the best British band !
Until Bernard left, I'd agree.
In the midst of all the Britpop stuff, TFI Friday etc, AC/DC came back out of nowhere with Ballbreaker and showed everyone how it's done....
Mid-90s Oasis went perfectly with Beavis and Butt-head at the time... stripped down, dumbed down, but with an irresistible appeal if you were susceptible to them.... the Gallaghers later stuff was King of the Hill and Daria...
TFI was the epicentre of britpop, or at least shite brit pop - chris evans and bloody ocean colour scene
I like your how you brought us through that period and remembered it very much as you do. I was late teens and that Stoneroses album was beautiful and a perfect backdrop for that time. I was actually thrown out by Second coming..it didn't quite land though I appreciated what they were going for. Strange not long after one or two bands kinda followed suit. It was the first great explosion of music in this country for decades. There was so much great music and it meant something. I agree it all became watered down and we're left with just a few decent bands.
despite all its faults, id take the second coming after most post whats the story britpop albums
@@thebrownnotereview8473 Yes I certainly agree with you.
Oasis were brilliant. Energetic, true rock music. When you become too obsessed with technicality & musical skill, you tend to dismiss a band like Oasis but somehow praise the dull, apathetic shoegazers. And don't get me wrong, I like a few Stone Roses songs, but they had absolutely NOTHING to say. It took you about ten seconds to recite every lyric from 'I Wanna Be Adored'. The music's nice, but there's practically no lyrics whatsoever. You may not regard 'I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin & tonic' as a good lyric, but it is cool as hell. Much cooler than Slowdive droaning on about fuckall. Sometimes a band can appeal to people, can mean a lot to people, because of their image, what they say, how they act. It's not all about your guitar pedal or your bass line or your drum beat. Personally at the moment I much prefer a song like 'Slide Away' to 'I Wanna Be Adored". Though years ago I wouldn't have said this, Oasis were miles better than Blur, far more authentic, far more real. Pulp & Blur were the novelty side of britpop; Oasis & Suede were real rock. Also that Welsh band you forgot were the Manic Street Preachers! Better lyrics than any of the other bands mentioned.
MSP the most important band of the last 30 odd years ..the lyrical warnings of what the world is heading into were/are 😮😢😔😔

Indeed... much deeper and intrinsic than many realize
Also the track P.C.P (It's not about the drug, at all), that was ahead of it's time for sure
@@GratuitousGaming2363 all the little references to things in pretty much every line .. pretty mind boggling , im not gonna pretend I understand every one .. im really intrigued by the '10 foot sign in Oxford Street' one and 'King cigarette snuffed out by her midgets' is a metaphor im sure even though there were King cigarettes.
89-93 is peak indie for me, which is very different from post punk indeed. Seefeel, Pram, Faith Healers, early Verve, Rollerskate Skinny, Disco Inferno, Flying Saucer Attack, etc. And yes, the shoegaze indeed. But by 93 and Oasis (plus Suede, second Blur, second Verve, etc), you had to go to Aphex twin, Black Dog, autechre, etc, or Drum and bass, or Dave Clarke/Ben Sims/etc, or Scorn/Techno Animal, or Coil/Muslimgauze/NWW. So Oasis only killed indie, not British music. And maybe Indie had already gone full circle anyways,with acts like Laïka, who were already integrating Morricone, Eno, hip hop, ethnomusicology, post punk and electronics. So let's not reduce british music to pop rock ^^. On a side note, The Utopia STrong have played their third Glastonburry in a row now, and are fantastic. I hope they play at my festival next year ^^ But yeah, it is a shite festival, indeed, as are most big festivals, if not all. Cheers, Stunty
well.. you're probably not wrong, was an amazing 4 year period, not just indie - across the board for british music
@@thebrownnotereview8473 I still find amazing brit music every year, and that is the purpose of my channel. But barely anything that stands a chance to break the underground glass ceiling
I wish I could have been in a shite band and sold millions of records.
I take my hat off to any musician trying to write and play their own songs, if you don’t like it don’t listen.
"If you don’t like it don’t listen", eh? You obviously weren't around at the time. Not once did I voluntarily listen to shit like Oasis, and I nevertheless had to hear their shit all of the time. Even on the news. They were, and are, a steaming pile of shit, beloved of a country that loves morons and thugs and detests anything original.
I have to agree with the video , Oasis were the only band that pulled me back slightly from all the dance genres that were breaking out throughout the 90’s.They brought in lad culture and yes the music was rowdy pub anthems looking back. Noel apologised for ruining dance music.Maybe they can bring back bands were see.
Oasis - love 'em or hate 'em or just plain don't care for them - either way - they did NOT "Kill" British Music. In fact they simply repackaged a pile of it.
TV 'Talent' competition shows killed British Music. 100%.
Every era of great music/art has a threshold, after which, it naturally starts to fall into a decline or morphs into something else, something less exciting. You can't blame one band, or one artist for the decline. It just happens naturally. These waves of creativity simply cannot continue to flourish indefinitely. It's a natural cycle. Eventually, something great, new and exciting will inevitably emerge from the current creative vacuum that has existed for the last 30 years...even if it's only a resurgence of the guitar band. When the way forward is decidedly less obvious and far more challenging than ever, sometimes the only way forward is take a few steps back in order to reconnect with that creative surge. Oasis simply emerged at the end of that particular cycle of creativity. They didn't kill it. If anything, they prolonged it for a few years.
I came for the brilliant click-bait title and stayed for the can of WD-40. Brilliant studio set-up, with the counter-top clutter and the folding chair - it really does look exactly like some random British bloke's den! I enjoyed the thoughtful commentary too. Keep it up! 🙂
dont tell anyone how i live :(
Go listen to "Inspiral Carpets - This Is How It Feels". This wipes the floor with Oasis, Stone Roses, Blur, Pulp you name it. How simple it is, how original. No Britpop band made a song as good as this. There were good Britpop bands, like Sleeper and Echobelly.
I enjoyed your assessment. Sadly, I feel that the Pop/Rock we have enjoyed since the 1950s onwards will continue to burn out, with the odd rogue ember that sets the carpet smouldering (Viagra Boys at the moment!). The nature of progress is to reduce people's attention span, they become bored quickly, then consume more product. If you expect this group of devolutionaries to spend 75% of their childhoods learning the pentatonic scale, you're as deluded as Sam Smith.
There ARE good guitar bands (Ty Segall, Osees, Allah Las, Goat...) they just aren't in the mainstream anymore.
I can't help thinking The jesus and mary chain is what oasis wanted to be. Love that they're still recording. The vast number of tunes by now is seriously consistent. They are magic and killer live.
I'd say the La's had the potential to be a bigger band than the roses it's just Lee was in a world of his own
The brothers would be excellent stand up comedians though to be fair.
I always saw Oasis as chancers. They made a modicum of talent stretch a long way. Noel occasionally came up with a good riff or chord progression, but then their lyrics exposed their lack of any coherent track of thought or genuine feeling. Noel freely admitting he struggled with lyrics and ransacked other songs when lacking inspiration, with odds and sods of phrases cobbled together, as long as they rhymed at the end of lines it appears it was good enough for them. With a lot of bombast, publicity and front they could brazen it out with a bully boy attitude, but the real joke was when they tried to emulate their heroes, claiming they were bigger than The Beatles. Even their best attempts didn't match what Neil Innes had already achieved with The Rutles, his pastiches were clever, affectionate, more melodic and most crucially really enjoyed by George Harrison and John Lennon. Harrison was disparaging about Oasis, and it really annoyed them, with Noel threatening to punch Harrison if he ever met him.
Old man yells at clouds... Just let people enjoy the comeback. Why not focus on bands you like instead?
because they're upset nobody likes the shit they listen to.
I think music needs both bands like Oasis (energy and attitude, comfortable and easy dor the masses) and Sonic Youth (noise and art) and UR (dancefloor focused). What it doesn;t need is shit like Blur, Radiohead, Coldplay, Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller etc etc
They weren't shite. First time I saw them in a tiny club in Liverpool in 93 I knew they were gonna explode. I saw loads of bands in small clubs in Liverpool and played myself but they had something no one else did and they proved themselves.
grunge killed music. it alienated a lot of people for a fad that was terrible. music was never going to recover. im glad i wasn't around for grunge. lol.
grunge was the american brit pop, no one wants to go back to either, but stuff like shoegaze is still massively trendy
@@thebrownnotereview8473 i think britpop had some real pop singles. grunge songs always had a depressing feel that didn't translate long term. pearl jam always sounded like a garbled springsteen butchering 70s and 60s music.

In response to a number of comments about Mr Cowell, to a certain extent Simon Cowell has played his part in destroying British music. However, to be fair, he has admitted to not having great understanding of music but rather comprehending what the general public like. Whenever, one of the wanabees on his shows does something that the audience likes he responds by pressing his buzzer. By extension, it is the general public that have a larger part to play in the destruction of music. Back in the day, when the charts were based on actual sales of records, not on free downloads, we had to think very carefully before parting with our hard earned cash for a single or an album. Thus, the charts were based on what people really invested their money in. With free downloads available music has become as disposable as fast-food. However, the public are still making decisions even if it is a brief click on a computer mouse. I don't think Ed Sheerhan would have got a recording contract during the heyday of the singer songwriter as the competition would have been too great for his level. Cat Stevens, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Clifford T.Ward, Duncan Brown (to name just a few) were real songwriters. However, I think Oasis would still have gained a recording contract.
are oasis doing a new album or even a new single? if not well liam has been doing the oasis stuff live for ages they only broke up in 2009 is it that much of a big deal? if new stuff is coming fine
Their parkas were far more interesting than their music. I grew up in Canada though, so they didn't have much of a cultural impact here.
Definitely Maybe... great album... a classic... I got tired of the 2nd album... after that a lot of shite
Let's be honest: The internet, MP3 and music for free for all killed the whole industry. Nevermind just the British side. Music for 99p and no album sales or the like killed it all.
I agree with a lot of the comments oasis didn’t kill British music more over bought back guitar based music that people could relate to the stuff on DM I can certanly relate to morning glory I couldn’t relate to I think as the years went buy music was changing with so many different groups and of course when downloading and sharing became a thing I think that’s where music really died
The record industry and the fashionistas ruined music. There was a brief time when bands played again then were copied and processed in such quick time that the blossoming scene died before it could grown. Stillborn so to speak.
Your view is personal to you
But really by the reaction this explains your opinion doesn’t even matter
Maybe they were a factor along with Simon Cowell and Spotify. Mainly this country is over and there is nowhere for these bands to spring from anymore, and they wouldn't be noticed if they did.
The internet killed art
Nailed it
Yet strangely, artists are still around as much as ever before. What about when artists had to plead for wealthy patrons to take them on? Classical music history can teach us a lot.
@@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx People that call themselves artists are still around, not quite the same thing.

i can see this highly popular and agreed with post has made me many new friends
The 4 later eighties and early nineties albums Black Celebration. Music for the Masses. Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche will remain unsurpassed for a very very long time. Martin Gores songwriting then was fuckin unbelievable!!
'Madchester' was a production line of untalented, manufactured, bucket hat, kagoul and baggy jeans,
Manc bands churned out by Tony wilson. Most are long forgotten, but some slipped through the net, like Oasis. Happy Mondays' best record, 'step on' was a cover version of a 1971 record by John Kongos.
Manc quantity - no quality. Listen to 'The Fall' shite.
But the video description says `And in an era where music festivals are dying, featuring rote pop acts as headliners, with no musicians and backing tracks, how the Oasis reunion could save music, by bringing back the band.` Which is closer to the truth. So the title is the worst kind of clickbait. Say `Oasis Can Save British Music?`, and you`d have way more comments.
i have had enough of the comments, i dont want more lol - which is the truth? one thing happened in the past, one thing may happen in the future
I thought you were going to lay into Oasis, not apologise for them, and say they were kind of alright really. And another thing - despite the erratic attempts by Maximo Park after their debut, I still think their first - A Certain Trigger - is a terrific album. Not a bad track on there. Of course that was almost 20 bleedin' years ago, so we're talking ancient history now 🫤
i think i lay into them a bit, i mean other than their first 3 years or so, all the rest of their music is awful - and even then they were pale imitations of far better music. but the music they inspired was even more toiet
@@thebrownnotereview8473 Fair play - you did lay into them a little bit. Not as much as they deserve, but a bit nonetheless. I think in a parallel universe, Swervedriver would have been the ones to take off from the Creation label and Oasis would have been a sidenote.
I absolutely love how Oasis live rent free in the heads of their haters. Especially when they are so triggered that they go and make a TH-cam video about them. It's just hilarious! :)

You were great in Home Alone man.
Good title lmao i dont like oasis either but i think irs unfair to call them shite. They're a talented band with millions of fans arent they. What puts me off them is the greed with their recent comeback show ticket prices. Theyre worth 100 million or so apparently but still wanna rip fans off. At this point they should be charging as little as possible for tickets and should be grateful for the huge success and wealth.

But the fact is there are still many people who don't know who the Beatles are or do not appreciate their music many people in the younger generation are listening to rap and hip hop. Rock bands have virtually disappeared, but thankfully Oasis have carried the torch and are one of the few bands attempting to keep it alive. And anyway, its quite snobbish of you to have such an attitude.

Nonsense, Oasis where one of the few lights in a dying chart scene caused by manufactured pop and cookie cutter filler from the big labels. Which was later ramped up further with pop idol and x-factor which subsequently, totally ruined British chart music in now what seems is forever and ever will be. There was still good music out there and still is... the clued in will always find it.
This piece could be more of a class thing than a music one, to be frank.
Oasis and Blur did help get guitar music back on the radio and tv. Unfortunately a lot of the other groups were pants and some other decent bands (Ride, Verve) completely changed their sound in order to be as bland and plodding as Oasis. By 1996 it was largely game over for interesting guitar music. Then in the 2000's a second wave of bands came along who were influenced by the Strokes succcess , and so we had Libertines, Razorshite and countless tight jeaned landfill indie groups. No wonder the kids are now going back to shoegaze
