I don't think you've read a word I've wrote.
DURING THE LATE 80s EARLY 90s BRITISH MUSIC WAS TURD AND FILLED WITH SYNTHS, BANDS LIKE OASIS & BLUR & SHED 7 AND OTHERS HELPED TO GET GUITARS BACK.
Even gigging in pub/club bands you get to know what the British music scene was like because punters ask for the most ridiculous things out of the charts which are all synth based but come 1995 people were asking for guitar based rock again.

The Roses were doing it in 1989^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
Because the lyrics are meaningless nonsense. I still love it though, (What's The Story) Morning Glory is a quality album.

I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

Guess what? The Rolling Stones & The Who were still doing it in 1989 and they played guitars BUT guitar sales had decreased by that point because of synthesised music and you can ask any guitar shop that was around if they didn't close down.
Guitar sales were being propped up by Metalheads but it was still a major decrease and then Blur & Oasis hit the scene.
 
I'm forced to agree with dmpoole. Kurt Cobain & Nirvana did the same for the grunge/rock scene a few years previously - initially in America and then worldwide.
As someone who was about 15 when Oasis started hitting the headlines they had a big influence on my tastes at the time, I wasn't really aware of bands like the Charlatans, Shed Seven, Inspiral Carpets et al, and got into them via the Oasis/Blur war.

So thanks Oasis, genuinely :)

No,

The Roses made kids like Oasis buy guitars and this then lead to increased sales of guitar after that.

Without The Roses there would be no Oasis.

So saying that Oasis increased guitar sales is not exactly true. They made guitar music more popular but the credit has to go to The Roses ultimately
 
Oasis were and still are the best band to come out of Britain in my generation (I am 28) and I seriously cant think of anyone else who made a statement like them. The tube from Coldplay who calls his kids Mosses and Apple I mean c'mon!!!

At least Liam says what he really thinks and if he doesn't like someone he just tells its as it is, all other bands are nancies who have to get everything checked by their PR. Live Forever!!!

Indeed, But Guitar bands were forming before Oasis. They just became the most popular.

Now you know that is rubbish.
There would be no Oasis without The Beatles, The Who & Slade.

No,

You're taking their music copying and influences to be the reason they formed.

They didn't form because of the bands you state.

They formed because Noel was a roadie for the Carpets and he saw The Roses rise to fame very quickly.

He wanted some of the action.

The musical references in Oasis stem from cleverly stealing key lyrics and riffs from the bands you state in order for success to manifest.

To suggest that the classic rockers of the 60's and 70's were the reason for Oasis forming is nothing but untrue.

BTW you missed off T rex...One of Noels most famous guitar riff steals !

Well right of the top of my head..... "You may as well do the white line coz there is nothing worth working for" this to me still stands true today and its obviously still in the mind of youth culture having seen what happened last month!

Not that I agree with i but which other recent bands are making statements which are still standing true 20 years from now?

We will see but since most if it is trash written for them in the first place and goes through multiple censoring panels I highly doubt it. Oasis defined a generation and their music is still vibrant and fresh as anything else out there, the meare fact we are on here discussing this states my point. Still raising an opinionated discussion years on. Pipe.... smoke.... done!
 
The thing is. People are talking about Oasis because the key players in the group are still releasing music now.

Noel's new Album is crap and Beady Eye are ****

In 20 years time people will be listening to Radiohead albums not Oasis albums.

Definitely Maybe is a Fantastic Album. But thats it.

That Marc Bolan knicked off Chuck Berry.

The absolute 100% fact is that The Stone Roses & Inspiral Carpets didn't save guitar shops and instead during that period you needed to stock up on synths to make ends meet.
As brilliant as John Squire was (and I stood in front of him twice) people weren't flocking into guitar shops to be like him but thankfully Noel was one of them.
Thanks to Oasis & Blur guitars started selling again.

There have only been a few times when guitar shops saw much increased sales because of bands/artists and the Stone Roses weren't one of them.
 
FFS mate Definitely maybe came out almost 18 years ago and is still regarded as one of the best albums and more importantly is still being talked about. Can the same be said for Radiohead?
