Quoted for truth.

But that's sub-Anti-Flag ****. Who cares what they're saying? They're the most boring thing ever. Like Anti-Flag. But worse.

A bizarre paring, but I'll offer my perspective on both bands and how they impacted my musical development.

Oasis were the first ever rock band I got into when I was an impressionable kid. It was hard not to since they were one of the biggest bands on the planet in the mid to late 90's and every prick in Ireland was into them. The first album I ever owned was (What's the Story) Morning Glory? on cassette, and my first band tee was an Oasis one. I then grew bored of them by the time I hit my teens and moved on to other music.
Now I think that their first two albums were decent at best, and the remainder of their output was boring as fuck. Liam has one of the most punchable faces in the Milky-Way and Noel isn't too far behind him. And they also have an unusually high number of fans who are lager-guzzling wankers with only a passing interest in music (but a lot of their fans are ok).

The Smashing Pumpkins were one of my favourite bands in my late teens and early 20's. You can also have a guess what inspired my username. I still enjoy the hell out of Siamese Dream, there's no doubt it had a big impact on my life, and I still dig Gish and Adore. I admit that I think MC&TIS is a bit of a bloated mess. It has some great moments but even those great moments don't come close to what's on Siamese Dream.
I'm not a fan of any of their post-reformation material, and I was also slightly let down when I saw them live in 2008.

But there's two things that both bands have in common. 1) They both have muppets for frontmen, and 2) not knowing when to stop when they should. But ask me to choose between them and I will reach for my copy of Siamese Dream any day.

Pumpkins by a mile. Oasis is too poppy. Melon Collie, Siamese Dream, and Gish were amazing albums. Not saying I'm not an Oasis fan though. Pumpkins is just better.
