However they did do Wonderwall and they mellowed out the sound in the second album so the ultimate question is this, should I bother with Oasis?

Oh, come on! I'm sure you know better than that.

Dammit!

Make sure you remember where you're at while Oasis is getting high, cuz he's gonna ask you like... 50-something times.

i've never liked Oasis, nor have i even understood the appeal.

You don't understand the appeal of simple rock and roll which builds to an anthemic chorus?

anthemic?

simple rock is fine, but i don't understand the appeal of Oasis specifically. i don't like their material at all.

Unless the artist has some obviously unique quality, I think the specific appeal is something you discover eventually after listening to them for a while. I think most who got into Oasis simply did it on the strength of their singles which were, as you say, fine simple rock.

I've always been a closet Oasis fan, one of my biggest regrets of the 90's is that I didn't bother to see them live because I was to busy following underground acts, like John Spencer, Massive Attack ect.

I can understand if people don't like them because they're bland corporate rock, but Noel Gallagher's songwriting talent shouldn't be underestimated, his recent solo releases have been topping the UK charts for a reason.

...and quite frankly I miss pop stars who could write their own music, you wouldn't hear a song like the one posted below on the top 40 today.

...downloading killed the rock star.
