R&P: What's so great about Oasis?

Question

People see my list of favorite bands and say that I would like them. I listened to them and it's garbage. What is the obsession with that band?

Answer 1

They've successfully made a career by blatantly rewriting Beatles songs.

I'm not a fan obviously, especially since they're so d**n arrogant.

Answer 2

They have 2 really good songs. That's more than most bands.  

Answer 3

agreed. Oasis suck.

Answer 4

I know they suck. They are overrated because at the time thay had like 2 hits.

Answer 5

There is shite and there is shite..They win on both counts.

Answer 6

On your list, everybody is overrated except Foo Fighters and the Beastie Boys. I love Oasis. Why I like them?--I just do.

Edit: Silly doughnut, they had more than 2 songs. My sister doesn't like them either. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Also, this is question could be considered a rant. Just a heads up, because there are some people who always report me for rants and it drives me nuts. Just to let ya know.

Edit: The Hives? Well, I actually used to like them, and I even bought an album. They just sound the same and I got bored rather fast with them. However, they are pretty cool. How many other bands dress in suits like that? Gotta give them credit for that. I guess they're not overrated. They're just not my type.

Another reason I don't really like the Hives: The lead singer looks like this one kind of pervy kid who always stared at me... gives me the creeps....

Sorry I snapped at your taste of music at the beginning... I'm PMSing and I'm a grouch =(

EDIT: BAAAH! I didn't see you included The Strokes and ABBA on your list! Those are my favorite bands!

Have you seen Mama Mia?

Answer 7

Dude, that's just your opinion. Let people think what they want.

Edit-- Five songs doesn't give you a right to put them down like that. I've seen them live, and they're fantastic. I have a nice pile of their albums, I like them all. It's just on a basis of opinions. People can hate them, and people can love them.

Answer 8

Nothing!!

Answer 9

hmm i don't see what's so wonderful either. i mean, they're good but i can't get into them. i like Jason Mraz's cover of Wonderwall though =)

Answer 10

Obsession?

Is this still 1995?

I didn't even know they still existed after 98.

Answer 11

What's your obsession with bands you like?

Not everyone will like the same band. I think it's called preference or something.

That's why rock music (or music in general) isn't boring.

I heard an entire Foo Fighters album, and disliked most of it, but I don't hate the Foo Fighters. They're just not my thing. I understand that, so I don't complain that other people like it.

Answer 12

Well, you listen to Weezer and I think they're garbage. So.....I guess we're even.

Obsession? I haven't seen any obsessive talk or fans in here, but they were huge in the 90s and deservedly so. Noel Gallagher is a great songwriter and a good guitarist. They're not my favorite band or even in my top 30, but I like them. (What's The Story) Morning Glory? is one of the best albums of the 90s.

Two good songs? Did Oasis p**s in your coffee or something? You sound like they flushed your goldfish down the toilet.....

Edit: If you listened to 5 songs and you didn't like them, fine. But, why post this to rant about how you think they suck when someone could easily do that to the bands you like. I can't really stand Weezer, but I never posted a question asking what the big deal is, even though I think they're sell-out, overrated c**p. And, I'm a fan of Foo Fighters and have been since they came out. I've also seen them live and they put on a great show, but overall, they're overrated and more often than not they're albums tend to be mediocre. We could do this all day.

Edit: As far as The Hives are concerned, when they're supposed to "save" rock music (and they didn't), well, that would be overrated.

Answer 13

Oasis is OK, I hear they're the worst band live, though.

Answer 14

cause of wonderwall

Answer 15

I think there amazing. What so great about the Jonas Brother ? Ask me that.
