I find it really wierd that people can love the Beatles and not Oasis. They are so much the same genre - every Oasis song sounds like it should be a Beatle song. Wonderwall, Champagne Supernover, Don't Look Back in Anger - all would have made great Beatle songs. And I like picking out all the references and jokes. Funny old world. Good luck with the Superbowl Ttikna. Are your guys favourites?
Didnt the lead singer say something once like "We are better then the Beatles" ??
I think they just try to copy the Beatles thats why people dont like them.

True. But I reackon it's all done with a nod and a wink. I like to think it's more influence than copying. They're are carrying on a proud tradition, and I see it as a compliment (Beatlewise). And I like that "we are the best" attitude. Remind us of anyone? And I find their in-your- face attitude quite refreshing (most British bands are a bit shoe-gazy self-effacing for me.)

At what, bowling?
Even if Oasis would have better songs than the Beatles (which they don't), then there's still the fact that the Beatles were innovators while Oasis never added anything to a style of music that was already 30 years old when they started.

"In 1969, Apple Records introduced a subsidiary label, Zapple, meant to showcase more experimental recordings, as opposed to quality work. Only two Zapple albums made it to the racks, and the sales figures for both suggests they sat in said racks untouched. One was John and Yoko's Unfinished Music Number 2, Life With The Lions, consisting of such things as Yoko screaming over John's guitar feedback, the two of them singing newspaper articles, and radio dial twiddling. George's Electronic Sound was more musical, but only in the sense that it features no singing. It is a whole album of George trying out a Moog synthesizer. He achieves some interesting sounds, but as George never was a proficient keyboard player, he never makes real music out of them. Instead, it's the sound of someone wondering "What does this knob do?" From here: http://www.fufkin.com/columns/lynch/lynch_gh_12_01_3.htm

The Best of the Monkees. I bought it cuz every now and then I have to listen to Daydream Believer. I own a Whitney Houston best of too. Don't know WHY I bought that one.

Everything's already been said
OMG Does it actually say "In 1969, Apple Records introduced a subsidiary label, Zapple, meant to showcase more experimental recordings, as opposed to quality work."?
I will check that out. I love George.

You really have to watch Antholgy man. There's a whole thing on that. John's so cool in the interviews about it. Anthology is like the greatest thing ever. I couldn't stand not ever having seen it.
