Wall of Mouths

Your right music is not a competition. I don’t mean to bag on Depeche mode. I definetly think they have something to offer. As far as the passion goes I disagree. I think Noel is as passionate a player as any. People might have issue with some of the silly thing he says but all the guitar players I know give him much respect. While originality is not his strongest point he is an amazing songwriter. I guess I get caught up in the whose better stuff when its really pointless. When it comes down to it both are considered classic groups in their own right.

This is in regards to the comment that Rock and roll is shit . I saw your posting about how you like Depeche Mode. No wonder you don’t like Oasis. When your listening to that computer created music your taste is bound to suffer.

There’s nothing wrong with liking who you like. But when its a musician or somebody who is making a career at it the tastes are going to be a little more defined and they’ll probably be a bit vocal about it. I’m not trying to put who you like down. But Its like if you talk to an actor and tell them that Tom Cruise is a great actor. Alot of actors will probably be very critical of that statement and get offended. No offense intended. Like who you like.

Right, its not only about album sales(though that matters somewhat). Bon Jovi doesn’t count because while he can say he sold many albums on the respect level they are nonexistant. Oasis has been called great song writers by Kirk Hammet of metallica, U2, and coldplay. They constantley poll in the top 50 albums of all time and even we’re recently voted as the most important british band.(I disgree with that but when you have Radiohead , the stones and the beatles in that same list you can say the people are that clueless. I think Oasis and Radiohead are very different. Oasis is a straight forward rock and roll band ala AC/DC , guns n roses ) and Radiohead are a experimental , groudbreaking band. Its funny that 15 years later Oasis are being awarded with a contribution to music award. nobody’s giving Bon Jovi a lifetime contribution award. Give tem their due credit.

Oasis Are great! There’s a reason they we’re given a lifetime contribution to music award . You can say what you want but when you have top artists like Kirk Hammett of metallica, U2, Coldplay giving them praise as great song writers you have to give them something. On top of that they we’re voted the most important band in England.(granted I don’t agree with that) but if you also have Radiohead, the beatles, and the Rollingstones on that list these aren’t that clueless people. I am a guitarist who has been playing for 15 years and I think Noel is one of the best writers of this generation. As far as liam goes who cares if he is arrogant. They are a rock and Roll band and you’ll probably never meet them anyway.
