Oasis vs Nirvana

Which 90s band has stood the test of time better? These two were arguably the 2 biggest bands of the 90s. Personally, I think even some Oasis albums that were panned back then (Be Here Now), have now aged amazingly. Compare "All Around the World", "Stand By Me" and "Don't Go Away" with some of the garbage being released today.

From wikipedia:

Oasis: As of 2009, the band have sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.[1] Also the band was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010 for “Longest Top 10 UK Chart Run By A Group” after an unprecedented run of 22 successive Top 10 hits in the UK.[2] The band also holds the Guinness World Record for being the "Most Successful Act of the Last Decade" in the UK between the years 1995 and 2005, spending 765 weeks in the Top 75 singles and albums charts.

Oasis' second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was a commercial success, becoming the third largest selling album of all time in the UK with over four million copies sold.

As their career reached its zenith, Oasis performed back-to-back concerts at Knebworth on 10 August and 11 August.[32] The band sold out both shows within minutes; 250,000 people over two nights (2.5 million people applied for tickets, and 375,000 were actually sold, meaning the possibility of 53 sold out nights),[33] at the time a record-breaking number for an outdoor concert held in the UK, and to this day the largest demand for a show in British history.[34]

Be Here Now was released in August 1997. Preceded by the UK number 1 single "D'You Know What I Mean?", the album was their most anticipated effort, and as such became the subject of considerable media attention. By the end of the first day of release, Be Here Now sold over 350,000 units and by the end of business on Saturday of that week sales had reached 696,000, making it the fastest-selling album in history.

Nirvana: Since their debut, the band has sold over twenty-five million albums in the US alone, and over fifty million worldwide
