Really? I disagree with that on so many levels. If anything, Oasis followed in the same tradition as the Beatles in my opinion, more so than Radiohead anyway. I'm not a huge Oasis fan. If anything, I've been a vehement Radiohead addict for years. But I fail to see the similarity. And Dylan was anything but Traditionalist. If anything, he ignored convention on several ocassions. In my opinion, he's become more traditional with age.

Oasis blatantly plagarised The Beatles throughout and regurgitated this influence(and that of The Stone Roses,The Kinks,The Sex Pistols,The Smiths and Sugar),whereas Radiohead are far superior heirs to the Beatles' tradition of innovation and experimentation by constantly reiinventing their sound and image with each new release,much as the Beatles went from "I Want To Hold Your Hand" to "Tomorrow Never Knows" to "A Day In The Life" to " I Am The Walrus" to "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", much as Radiohead went from the straightforward alt-rock of "Creep" to the emotive and influential "The Bends", the groundbreaking "OK Computer" to the full on experimentalism of Kid A/Amnesiac.Radiohead make infinitely better heirs to the Beatles' legacy of experimentalism and forward thinking than Oasis' simplistic regurgiatation of pre-existing songs.
