I'll blame Rolling Stone, but baby boomers still touch children (see Chula for evidence).

And I don't know how Oasis got called alternative. I guess if Cheap Trick came out in the early nineties people would have called them alt too.

Have you listened to any format of rock radio? On any given hour you will hear at least one Zeppelin, one AC/DC and one Nirvana song. That is not the comprehensive list of a standard block of rock radio (and you can obviously remove Nirvana for a classic rock station), but those are kind of the three pillars and you will have heard all of their hits at least 1 million times each within just a year of regular listening.

... and I don't think neither of them can hold the candle to the 60s greats like The Beatles and the Stones... and I don't think they couldn't hold a candle to 50s greats like Les Paul & Mary Ford, and Big Joe Turner.

I always thought that 10 was Pearl Jam's greatest hits cause like I don't know much about their stuff. I would like Oasis a lot more if it wasn't for certain things about the music. I thought the songwriting was decent (& a few songs are epic) but something about their music get repetitive.

Holy disjointed double negatives, Batman!

Oasis are one of the greatest rock bands the world has ever known. Love him or hate him, Liam Gallagher is one of the best vocalists in history, and Noel is by far the greatest songwriter of his generation.

So, to answer your question, yes, you definitely need to "bother" with Oasis. Start with their first 2 albums, then shift to their b-side compilation The Masterplan, then discover the rest of their b-sides, which are mostly brilliant songs, then move on to Don't Believe the Truth, Be Here Now, Dig Out Your Soul, Heathen Chemistry, and Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, in that order.

Check out my Top 30 Oasis Songs thread for a great guide to their best songs...

If you did not like their first album, definitely not. 'Twas a powerful album, possibly ahead of it's time, yet perfectly capturing the mood of that early 90s whateveritwas. Supersonic and Slide Away can still reduce me to tears, and I'm nearly an old man. If you didn't feel it at the time, you won't. Massively personal album to me, and to where/who I was at that time. Second album only worth it for Hello, Look Back and Wonderwall, but even in those songs you can tell that they had moved on to somewhere where things had changed. Liam was a vocal god on that first album, and will never reach the height again. I'm new here, and hoping to get something out of it, by all means tell me to feck off and we'll take it from there X
