Neither, really great songwriter & a even better guitar player, but he's neither. I look forward to his solo album.

Because taking The Beatles sound and watering it down for the Hootie & The Blowfish crowd is just so f*cking genius.

The Beatles were pop, but they were not bland by any means, even in their early years they wrote some pure genius pop songs.
Oasis took that sound, mainly the poppy side from it, without taking risks like The Beatles did. Then they just made it more generic and more appealing to the "adult alternative" crowd, I hear songs like Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova being played on the radio alongside songs by Barenaked Ladies, Matchbox Twenty and The Goo Goo Dolls. Compare them to those bands and tell me how they stand out, they don't. |

And yeah, alright, so they did rip off a few Beatles melodies here and there. But never the style. |

Well he's Oasis's principal songwriter and was their only songwriter during their first two albums which are held as the best. He's quite clearly the talent behind the band. It would be cool if Oasis experimented on their next album, like stopped using the word "shine" for instance.
