I'm still trying to decide this decades later. What's the Story (Morning Glory) is legitimately a great album, but the rest of this band's resume makes them out to be the British Nickelback. So were these guys a great band that just didn't quite find their groove with any kind of consistency, or were they an awful band that just kind of stumbled into one great album?
They had two very good albums. What's the Story... and Definitely Maybe. I think Drugs and attitude did them in. While the albums were good, let's not overrate them. They are not all-time great Albums - not the type you go back to time and time again over the years. The albums were good, but of their time and not all that enduring. Blur and Radiohead (I understand some hate Radiohead) were far better and far more enduring. Paul Weller is far better, and I'm sure I can come up with a dozen other better UK bands from that general time period which stand the test of time better.
Of course, it could be that I underrate them because they were such a*holes. Still, after those 2 albums, the rest are not very good.
yeah-2 pretty good albums, but they pretty much jumped the shark by the end of the summer of '96 mostly due to infighting between the Gallagher brothers---their 3rd album Be Here Now was a rambling display of excess ego--pretty much faded out with the end of the 90's....

I have to admit this made my momentarily laugh out loud but I suspect that was your intention.
What, you'd take one of the top 5 greatest bands in the history of music, led by the most gifted singer, songwriter, musician of all time in Bulsara (Freddy M) over some 3 hit wonder band led by two dysfunctional moron brothers with stupid hair and cr@p voices?
Again, made me laugh. Well done.
I'd take the Rolling Stones over Oasis
Both Queen and the Stones great bands-Oasis doesn't belong in that grouping...
The Verve were much much better than Oasis.
Oasis = Boring, repetitive, whining dross. ???
I’ve always read the message board but never posted, however this topic is one that I’m passionate about. The first CD I ever bought was definitely maybe in 1994, I was 15 at the time and needless to say the music and swagger that Oasis had made a big impression on me. I’d put those first two albums against any other two albums in music history and say they stand their ground. I live in England and have been to see oasis play live a few times and have to say the atmosphere at the gigs is electric. The music isn’t the most refined but those first two albums are just so relatable that people in the UK love them.

Urban Hymns had some good songs, but they were the most boring and uninspiring live band I've had the displeasure of seeing. In their defence, I saw them before they had the "the" in the name and before they had the Urban Hymn songs so maybe they improved - but that was just an awful gig.
Radiohead is way better than Oasis, 2x as many great albums.

Radiohead's The Bends is a great album. Pablo Honey was a promising album. OK Computer was half great, half overblown nonsense. Kid A onwards were unlistenable and boring nonsense.

It sounds like you are just a grunge fan. Putting Pablo Honey and The Bends over OK Computer is ridiculous. In my opinion, OK Computer through A Moon Shaped Pool were all stellar albums that reached into many genres. There are not many bands with such a wide range of styles and consistency.
