Oasis or The Roses?

[bluekat]

The Roses were original.

Oasis were totally unoriginal.

Roses - no contest

Stoned Rose is clearly impartial in this debate. One of the main reasons Oasis made it so big was down to the simple yet catchy lyrics.


"Don't go away, say that you'll stay"

Now that sounds like something the Stretford end would come up with but it has a meaning and easy to sing along to.



Not that The Roses used Shakespeareesque lyrics signing about bubble gum.

Anyone checked the Oasis Beatles mashup on youtube?

Yeah. Blatant at times.

I don't think originality is particularly important.

I don't think record sales mean anything either.

The Roses had a magic that Oasis simply never had. I think Oasis were amazing at their peak but they weren't cosmically brilliant like The Roses. It's like Oasis were the best band on Earth for a while but The Roses were the best band in the galaxy and you don't get many of them.

No one is ever impartial in any debate about music as we all have our own intrinsic taste. Therefore my opinion is as valid as anyone else's.

Lyrically the majority of oasis' stuff is very basic, almost nursery rhyme-ish, shallow and also quite sameish. Lots of 'sun' and 'finding a better day' type simplicity. They basically used words that rhyme.

The roses on the other hand wrote about love, religion, culture, history, psychedelia, greed, revenge, royalty and hatred and framed this with clever imagery, thought provoking lyrics and mystery.

Musically oasis are also basic and make as a musician friend called it 'meat and potatoes music'. The roses are much more musically sophisticated and complex. Oasis could never create something as interesting as RIde On, ELephant Stone or Shoot You Down. The likes of Shakermaker, DIgsys DInner and Married with Children just sound plain pathetic in comparison.

I understand and agree with a lot of what you say but comparing the three songs from each band that you have is like saying that Tottenham are easily better than City because Eriksson, Lamela and Verthonghen are better players than Scott Sinclair, Richards and Richard Wright.

Is Noel Gallagher shifting more units than Pitbull?

Success and talent are two totally different ideas and concepts.

I rate Oasis but their music is very, very simple. I used to teach kids guitar and I'd always teach them Oasis tunes because they're so easy to play.
