Oasis Effect

The Oasis Effect describes the phenomena in modern music where popular music has plummeted in quality so much, that acts that were only mediocre in the past, are comparatively superb.
"I just got excited to find Wonderwall on a radio station. What the fuck is going on!?"

"Oh, that's just the Oasis Effect you're experiencing. Everything else is so bad, Wonderwall is good. We live in frightening times."

oasis

We the people fight for our existence
We don\'t claim to be perfect
But we\'re free
We dream our dreams alone
With no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be

You know I didn\'t mean
What I just said
But my God woke up
On the wrong side of his bed
And it just don\'t matter now

Cos little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You\'re really here

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that sounds foolish but it\'s true
The day has come
And now you\'ll have to accept
The life inside your head we give to you

You know I didn\'t mean
What I just said
But my God woke up
On the wrong side of his bed
And it just don\'t matter now

Cos little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You\'re really here
Hey

Little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You had to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You\'re really here
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

Oasis

The most amazing, revolutionary band to ever exist. Started out with Liam Gllagher as the frontman. But due to the lack of success of the band, Liam's brother, Noel Gallagher, joined the group and took full control of it. Their debut album Definitely Maybe enjoyed much commercial success. Their sophome album, Whats the story? Morning Glory establishes, them as one of the greatest bands in the world. The album became the second most selling album in British music history.
Liam's unique voice and Noel's incredible songwriting skills have made Oasis what they are.

Oasis
