Quite possibly the most overrated band in history. People claim they were relevant during the 90s, but even then they weren't. Blur were the defining Britpop band for the first half of the 90s, and then Radiohead killed Britpop and became the defining band of the second half of the 90s. During the 00s Oasis merely become a parody of themselves, trying to rehash their overrated songs of the 90s to no avail.
Fundamentally, Oasis had no originality during their entire career, could
never evolve and just copied other bands material (i.e.
The Beatles) as they didn't have the
talent to write or compose any good songs on their own.
Truthfully, the only reason they were popular was because of the large size of the working class. The working class saw the Gallagher brothers as idols, because they began in the working class before becoming rich, and inherently the Gallaghers had no actual
talent like the rest of the working class. Therefore, the large working class supported Oasis in droves, and then worshipped them for managing to get so big, despite having no
talent. It gave the working class
hope that even they, despite having no
talent, might someday leave their
job working as a janitor, cleaning toilets or emptying dustbins, and become wealthy and famous.
