I just remember when my elder sister wasn't tormenting my parents by singing Madonna's "Like a Virgin" out loud (she was about 17 at the time), she was listening to The Smiths on her walkman! :pac: Justin Bieber though? Jaysus...

Apart from Joy Division/New Order, The Stone Roses etc. A lot of people didn't get them and only in later years realised that they weren't a band of misery guts and were in fact, a genius band esp with the songwriting talents of Marr/Morrissey. Best partnership since Lennon/McCartney. It wasn't until they released their last couple of LPs that I finally realised how brilliant they were. I even liked Morrissey's early solo stuff.

Noel Gallagher had been around the block with the Inspiral Carpets and he knew the business well before he signed his first contract at 27 years of age. He produced songs which defined a section of the 90s generation, in person he's a very interesting person to listen to, very articulate. The Roses and Smiths were also great but don't dismiss Oasis, listen to their full back catalogue before casting judgement.
Czarcasm wrote: » I have to be honest, I did just that in my earlier post! My wife has their back catalog alright but I never liked their music, she considers Oasis indie, to me they were Britpop, but I feared if I said I preferred to listen to Blur in among all these music greats, I'd be told GTFO in no uncertain terms! :pac: Does that prove or disprove MX's point? Because I didn't really understand when hippy started talking about johnny marr, the reference to the smiths threw me right off when they were a huge band at the time. I didn't know there had been a resurgence in their popularity! I'm confused
DEFTLEFTHAND wrote: » You were right Oasis were Britpop, the Stone Roses released their first album via Silvertone an 'Indie label'. Music is subjective I don't want people to lie about liking a band but I do feel respect is deserved for Oasis. Unusually I found I loved everything from that period, Blur included. 'Coffee and TV' is one of my favourite songs ever.
