Now, in certain quarters, this lot are being ‘reassessed’, with people who didn’t used to to like them giving it the rose tinted stuff and all that ‘They weren’t that bad compared to the crap that’s around today.’ sentimentality. Oh, and that one: ‘At least they were a proper band’.
Well, popular music is so bad now, even Dido or James Blunt sounds good next to the likes of Ed Sheercunt and Titless Swift. But giving Oasis due for being the most unoriginal band in musical history? That’s just taking the piss.
Aside from their notorious bullshitting, staged fights and self mythologizing bollocks, these cunts nicked from other artists time and time again.
Now, I can hear someone say ‘Yeah, we know. T-Rex and the New Seekers’. But there are more of them, fucking loads in actual fact. Everyone from Thin Lizzy to Cliff Richard (straight up) has been pilfered by that unibrowed bluenose knobhead Noel.
And as for them being a ‘real’ band? A band that had four drummers, four bassists, and two rhythm guitarists? As soon as the orignal line-up broke up, it was the Gallaghers and loads of sidemen. It was hardly a magic mix like Daltrey, Townshend, Moon and Entwistle.
If people want to get nostalgic about 90s bands and all that Britpop bollocks, then can find better than them to eulogise. Simple fact is they weren’t very good then and they aren’t very good now.
Here is a complete list of all the songs they nicked. Has to be seen to be believed.
