The band that (sort of) brought me up. Before Definitely Maybe, I was running round in football kits, shell suit bottoms and caps and listening to M People and Culture Beat. Afterwards I was wearing shirts, supping in Conservatory, Horts' and Henry's, listening to the Stone Roses and The Jam (on Noel's say so) and pissing my Dad off by voting Labour in. I still think the Stone Roses first album is the best music I've ever heard but I was 11 when it came out so didn't get the benefit of it. Oasis were THE band of my time. Musically, I accept they weren't the best but they had the gift of making people feel awesome. I watched Glastonbury the other week and was embarrassed for Bono. What a fucking knobhead. Liam pisses all over him in the cool stakes.
Oasis are quite simply my favourite ever band.
