Thread Name: BS: Oasis - the group, not the mirage
Subject: RE: BS: Oasis - the group, not the mirage
boy this thread got alot of stupid comments added to it in a hurry for instance oasis better than the beatles? um that just dont work for lots of reasons ,first off without the beatles (remeber it was george harrisons movie soundtrack album that give these dingbats the title to their only hit over on this side of the pond "wonderwall") the beatles were of their time and place but their impact cant be measured by todays standards,i mean how many acts have held all 5 top positions in the billboard chart at once? (if you guessed noone else you would have been right).the beatles didnt become less popular when they retired from touring they became increasingly popular until they disbanded(at least in terms of album sales,their biggest selling single was 1968's hey jude). the beatles made the front page of the paper where ever they went (something you cant say about oasis the comparision is just so stupid i cant be bothered to continue with it i mean if you are dumb enough not to understand the huge cultural and musical impact of the beatles versus any other band you can name then you might as well keep your head up your ass) oh and mbo for much more interesting chord changes may i suggest the source ( the beatles) rather than the imitators (hey that oasis song sounds like choose whatever beatle song fill in the blank) for just one rather fine example the ending of the verse of "i'm so tired" a eaug5th f#minor dminor (listen to the gorgeous melody lennon layers over those chords!!! )
