Being the worlds highest paid tribute band they wouldn't.

Are you an MP? You must be if you call that accurate.

Both the Beatles and the Stones and countless other bands started off their careers imitating their heroes of that there is no doubt.

However within a few year both the Beatles and the Stones or the Clash (for Gingers benefit) and even today Take That managed to develop their own sound.

There is little simularity between Seargent Pepper and Elvis or Sympathy for the Devil and Muddy Waters. Oasis on the other hand still sound like Oasis did in 1994 who in turn sounded just like a fuzzed up Beatles.

People try to argue against percieved wisdom are daft IMO, it's such a waste of time - black men make better sprinters than white men, Indians make great accountants, British people are a lot funnier than Germans and Oasis are blatant rip off merchants long after they had an excuse to be. I have no facts to prove it, no data, no expert opinion to back it all up - it just is - you know it. I know it. ta

To be fair I don't think Liam's contribution was the same as Brown's. While Oasis managed a pretty decent second album they've not done anything for me since. Both bads peaked with their first album as did my other favourite band Guns N Roses. Still better 1 all time classic than churning out endless middle of the road, same old same old crap like a lot of bands do.

Can't really get into Guns N Roses, much prefer the baggy stuff myself. I take your point about Oasis and the individual contributions though - but don't agree about the 1 good album. 2 amazing albums and few more very good ones, even the B side "album" was very very solid in my opinion - far better than most others.
What do you think are the best tracks?

And the first two are two of the best live bands!!

Vasty,as nice a guy as you are you can talk sh$t,if ya wanna talk good 60's/70's music then look no further than The Who or the Kinks,for me the Stones never touched these two,as for the Beatles,ok they were revolutionary but they for me are the most overated band on earth!!!Not a pleasent band to listen to,my opinion only!!!!

now morrissey and the smiths there pleasent to listen too

Most definetly, however listening to heavy metal,makes feel that heaven knows im miserable now....

I bet a pound to a pinch of s**t you had a scooter

Depends whether you are talking about an album or about individual tracks. Personnaly I judge the best albums as those I can listen to over and over again without skipping a track i.e Stone Roses Stone Roses, Oasis Def Maybe, G N R Appetite, individual tracks could be here all day and night.

As for live bands Iron Maiden and Guns N Roses take some beating a proper show with quality music thrown in, not without offence, a few static blokes plugging away and trying to look cool!

that keane is above in utero has to be some kind of sick joke. in fact keane being in there at all is a sick joke

do you reckon? first album excellent, half second album very good half average, then just about everything since also average at best for me
