They're a bit like Oasis. Loved over here, lover in the states - not so much. I think all 3 of their albums reached number 1 but I'm not sure. They're worth a listen if you're into decent enough pub rock type stuff.

One of my favourite Kasabian songs.

^ They are supposed to be sick live, although their audiences are apparently quite rowdy.

Besides the usual Stairway, Bohemian, Teen Spirit and Sweet Child, I would also add:

Coldplay- The Scientist
Kings Of Leon- I don't know what the song is called actually but it's so goddamn overplayed
Foo Fighters- The Pretender
Black Sabbath- Into The Void.
Radiohead- Creep
Muse- Undisclosed Desires, Uprising

To be fair, it was an Oasis concert... Oasis are essentially The Beatles for chavs. Kasabian were supporting. They were really good live.

But outdoor venue + people needing a wee + having a cup = piss down your back.

Not the biggest fan of Oasis, myself though I get a kick out of watching Noel-Liam argument vids on youtube >.<

They are 30/40 yet they are still so immature!

Speaking of Oasis, Wonderwall is as overplayed as hell.

I really can't be arsed with them anymore. I thought they WERE music. Then I realised Wonderwall was from George Harrison's Wonderwall music. Supersonic was My Sweet Lord. Don't Look Back In Anger = imagine. etc. But it didn't bother me that much, then I just discovered more interesting music. Despite their first 2 albums being great rock albums I wouldn't listen to them these days. Glad I got to see them before they broke up and have pissthrown on me. Wonderwall was like the first song I learnt on guitar

used to be my favourite song.

back in the good old days? I dunno, I'm only a teen, so i don't know what music was really like in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I wasn't there with those bands from the beginning, which I'm a bit sad about. I feel like I'm going backwards with music, recovering everything I missed out on, yet it's just different, you know? Not being there for each album release and each tour date.

newayz. I'll still check out their earlier stuff, since you said they were great records.

I'm only 18.

How old are you? I prefer being this age, I still have 3-5 decades worth of music that I can be there for. I used to think old music>modern music but I've learnt that really isn't the case. The 00s were great for music. As well as a load of new music to come, we still have unlimited access to decades of music. Definitely Maybe and WTSMG were the soundtracks to the best years of my life, one day I'll listen to them and get the biggest amount of nostalgia ever

my first memory of music was listening to Roll With It whilst waiting in the car for my Dad in town. Oasis are either love or hate. Or in my case used to love then turned a bit indifferent to.

When Oasis get brought up, I sound like a broken record. I have to chuck my 2 cents in.

Well, I just turned 15. Oasis was like early 90's weren't they? THE britpop band? That means you were born in 1992..wait, because by the way you were talking it sounded like you were there for every album that came out. Yeah.

I don't think old music>>new music. I think people set standards way too high for new bands these days, with all that pressure of living up to the 'standards' of 'old bands' like King Crimson and Hendrix.

Besides, classic rock (in the broader sense) spans from late 50's-early 90's, whereas modern music spans from late 90's-00's. So obviously 'old music' had more time to develop. I admit the music industry is a bit stagnant and lazy right now, but thats because all the talented bands are too cowardly to be famous, and hiding away behind the indie label.

GREAT band= Talent + Courage. There were heaps of these kinds of bands in 2,3 decades ago.
