I haven't read this thread much yet, well not at all yet because I just joined this site, but I'll throw in some opinions...
I'm American but I personally think British music kicks the dog **** out of American music for the most - especially in the realm of rock and roll. Any country that produces the likes of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Oasis, Cream, and even "discovered" Jimi Hendrix should hold the all-time crown for best rock music, even if they didn't invent it. To be frank The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Oasis as a 3-group unit, I believe is better than any 3-band unit of American bands in any configuration. Now with that being said, I agree with the above poster who mentions that America has invented most of the best styles of popular and/or well known globally successful artforms. To be even more specific, African-Americans (I am one as well) are really responsible for the vast majority of influential/successful styles (rock, blues, jazz, r&b, etc. etc.) so if we want to have a fair discussion - shouldn't this be African-Americans vs. Brits? That's a music better fight since for every Lennon there is a Michael Jackson and for every Bowie there is a Stevie Wonder  For every Morissey there is a Prince, and for every Elvis there is a Chuck Berry...The list could go on, hehehe, but you get my point! The Brits win for rock history, Northern Soul, and most of the modern good ****, But it all start in America, specifically Black America, so hehehe who knows? Good debate though |

Anyway definitely a huge Oasis fan but there are many other great bands and music out in the world/history so it's worth it to join a place like this! Wouldn't be into the Burnage Boys if it wasn't for the 4 from Liverpool anywho... Plus as I pointed out 20th Century Black American music pretty much pwns anything in the music landscape so it's fun to play that card as well  hahaa

I used to be the biggest Oasis fan but over time I just kind of got bored of them really, but they're the reason I had the outlook of pick up a guitar, learn 4 chords and write a song. At the time I was looking at people like Matt Bellamy playing guitar and it was just like ....I can't do this. So thanks to Oasis for that and I might rediscover my love for them at some part down the line but I'd rather listen to Revolver over Definitely Maybe any day. |

The Beatles are far and away my favorite band and the best music I've ever heard so in that regard I am more loyal to a Revolver (or White Album which happens to be my favorite) than any Oasis work, then again I think songs like Don't Look Back In Anger and Live Forever have done more to get me through hard times than almost any of the Beatles songs sooooo.. there's that lol. Then again Strawberry Fields and Let It Be got me through childhood so come on citeh!! |

Haha, losing the league by 1 point. Brutal. All because Berbatov can't score goals. Oh yeah, definitely - as I've said before, Oasis' first two albums are soundtracks to many summers, many different times in my life. They got me through hard times when in love/lust etc. but now I just need something with another dimension to it, that was Oasis' appeal, they just had that attitude and I honestly hope one day I can return to it and I become as obsessed with them as I was a couple of years ago. How old are you if you don't mind my asking? |
