They were e anyway

Well done Noel

I wouldn't work with Liam for £20m either

They will, when one of them has a messy divorce and needs a boatload of cash.

Creatively, I thought they made one good album - then they disappeared up their own ar5es; most overhyped band in recent memory.

Lets hope not, one formulaic but decent album and that's it. I especially dislike Liam who is the worst front man in history, lacking the energy of Jagger, the genuine toughness of Daltry, the menace of Lydon, the flamboyance of just about anyone but I'll go for Bolan or even the gentle self mockery of Holder. Just a monumental waste of space who couldn't even sing.

Noel looked like he had a bit of talent but was dragged down by his own personal Kriptonite (Liam) - very sad.

Agreed.

As suggested by Vastman, Liam was Noel's Kryptonite. Noel was not only the better singer but also had more creativity. His collaboration with Goldie and The Chemical Brothers suggested Noel wanted to be more creative and try new things but unfortunately Liam was having none of it and they just plugged on with the then tired Oasis.

When the split was announced I expected Liam to do exactly what he did, form an Oasis tribute band and Beady Eye was just that.

Noel on the other hand looked to have finally broken free when he formed High Flying Birds and attempted to change his musical direction. There was also talk of a collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous which would have seen Noel become a lot more risk taking, a bit like his once creative nemesis Damon Albarn. Unfortunately the plans for the AA collaboration seemed to have been scrapped and now an Oasis reform is being talked about. It seems it's too late for Noel to take the risks he once looked like taking. Sad really.

A couple of great albums but not a patch on the roses

Yeah cos they had loads of good albums didn't they!!

Just everyone they made mate . Obviously not as good as standing on the shoulders of giants tho
A quote from Liam .... Stones roses are the best band to come out of Manchester .

Tbh pal the first 2 oasis albums were brilliant and will always remind me of good times growing up

Yeah, all 1 of them - and a mediocre 2nd album that just lived off the hype of the 1st.

Not much poimt arguing about oasis with someone who's avatar is a picture of Noel and Liam is there haha it's like me arguing who's better out of fc and kr
Fwiw I don't dislike oasis ,my favourite is shampaign super nova with john squire on guitar

Don't worry, I didn't even realise that was still my avatar - been like that for years, and as I use the mobile version of the site I never see it!

Oasis aren't my fave band, far from it, I just find it weird how people compare a band like the Roses who are still living off 1 album that wasn't really that successful at the time (only got to #19 on the album chart), to a band that ( despite some of the poorer latter efforts ) sold massive quantities of 7 albums!

Not really the same though is it. And if you like microwave lasagne then thats what you are gonna pick if you have never been to the restaurant in Milan. Just cos you say its the best lasagne you've ever, doesn't make it so for everyone else does it! That is what opinion is all about.

The Roses had 1 album that only came to the mainstream after bands like Oasis came to the forefront of music and said the Roses were the best Manchester band ever - and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

Oasis had 3 great albums (and 4 dross ones) compared to 1 from the Roses.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bagging the Roses in anyway as that album is superb and I still have my original copy from when it came out - but if you are comparing success no matter your opinion of the bands, then there is no comparison!
