Title: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: jabba2 on June 01, 2006, 07:32:36 PM http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=224536>1=7702
Well they voted Definitely Maybe as the greatest record ever. The debate of being better than the Beatles has gone on for awhile. I dont get it. If you ask me Oasis sound inferior to the Beatles and many, many other bands. So again..why Oasis?

Britain has tons of better bands than those pop groups.

Probably because most of those who voted came of age during Oasis' peak. Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: estrangedpaul on June 01, 2006, 08:46:30 PM Definately Maybe is up there with Appetite. It's a similar kind of no nonsense rock n' roll vibe that defined a lifestyle. Amazing album. I would have went with Houses Of The Holy but it's still a worthy winner.
Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: 2NaFish on June 01, 2006, 10:41:19 PM its not the best album by a british band ever (its definetly up there tho). it is however the greatest british album ever; if you get the distinction.
the beatles were universal and many of the other bands that would compete are international sounding, whereas definitly maybe has a very british feel to it - sort of like certain records by The Kinks. You might wanna change the name of the thread. Its pretty misleading.

Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: axl_rose_700 on June 02, 2006, 06:02:21 PM zeppelin, th stones, stone roses and the beatles are only ones i could think of could be argued as better than oasis
Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: estranged.1098 on June 02, 2006, 06:28:07 PM Still it's a very small group. Oasis is def up there.
Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: Walk on June 02, 2006, 06:37:44 PM I'll keep adding more bands. ;D
Deep Purple Rainbow Motorhead Budgie Venom Bruce Dickinson Led Zeppelin Man, the UK has tons of great bands that kill Oasis. Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: axl_rose_700 on June 02, 2006, 06:44:01 PM I mentioned zeppelin
oasis are probably my fave british band along with the stone roses bu they destroy th likes of motorhead in my view Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: mrlee on June 02, 2006, 07:26:23 PM I mentioned zeppelin oasis are probably my fave british band along with the stone roses bu they destroy th likes of motorhead in my view wasnt for them you wouldnt have the type of metal that you get throughout the 80s, 90s and now. so :beer: to them Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: Walk on June 02, 2006, 10:54:59 PM Motorhead were probably the most important band for speed metal, which later evolved into thrash metal. Oasis were recycling old ideas, while Motorhead made new ideas. Motorhead gets a lot of respect from both metalheads and punks, which is really rare. Fans from all kinds of scenes love Motorhead.

Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: The New Fiona Apple on June 03, 2006, 02:05:40 AM That is just wrong...so very wrong. The teeth are probably clouding their brains though.
Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: Tomorrows on June 03, 2006, 04:09:42 AM Its a niche album, but Id vote "Close to the Edge" by Yes as the best Brit album.
Oasis, theyre alright but them earning that title just isnt right. Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: Metallifuck on June 03, 2006, 05:37:12 AM Fuck this shit, Blur are miles better thasn Oasis. >:( I agree, although I like Oasis as well. I can think of many better british bands, Judas Priest for one, with 'Painkiller'. Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: damien24 on June 04, 2006, 05:03:47 AM they would do something silly like that.

Pink Floyd Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: nesquick on June 04, 2006, 10:08:35 AM Oasis is one of the greatest band of all time : ok:
Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: J? on June 04, 2006, 11:51:06 AM Saw Oasis live this year amazing.
Deep Purple are bloated and washed up. Like honestly they have worse line up changes then Guns N' Roses. I saw them live last summer, Deep Purple that is and it was the worst concert I have ever been to. It really made me hate classic shitty rock even more. I am not saying all classic rock is shit. But like I really fucking hate this band. Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: MadmanDan on June 04, 2006, 12:22:18 PM Oasis are a great band, but not THAT great...
Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: GNR_Green on June 04, 2006, 04:40:48 PM Oasis? Copy-cats. No way they can be considered the best British band ever, total bollocks. Not musically talented, Noel's written a few good tunes but that's about it. They're very good at what they do but it's nothing special really is it? Surely oeople who listen to decent music don't vote Oasis.
Iron Maiden slay Oasis in every department, no contest. Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: GNR_Green on June 04, 2006, 04:44:35 PM Just seen the rest of the list, usual predictable dirge. Nirvana, yeah yeah whatever. White Stripes at 59? Are there really only 58 better albums than that? People really have no idea.
Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: Mr Rage on June 04, 2006, 05:47:35 PM iron maiden, judas priest, black sabbath, DIDN'T DEFINE A GENERATION!
That's way oasis top these lists, back in the 90's it felt good to be british again, what oasis offered was no songs about satan n death which most bands were offering at the time. They wrote songs which every kid on the street could relete to! The yanks won't agree, but they made britain cool again, so props for that! Title: Re: British vote Oasis as greatest band of all-time Post by: D on June 04, 2006, 06:53:50 PM U Brits must be out of your minds.
no offense but Oasis the GOAT? U must be fuckin jokin right?

Metal didn't define a generation because it has timeless appeal. "Define a generation" is just saying something was a "popular movement", which ultimately means passing fad. That's all Britpop was. Timeless music is better than nostalgia inducing pop-rock. Classic metal albums like Sad Wings of Destiny, Leprosy, Lightning To The Nations, Aske, Bonded By Blood, and Psalm 9 are just as great today as back then. Perhaps the best way to judge music is to have someone listen to it who never experienced it in its heyday, when popularity influenced taste. You'll see that classic rock and metal appeals to kids in their teens today, despite its age. It's simply timeless.
