Oasis were the last great, traditional rock-n'-roll band. We came along before the Internet so, if you wanted to see us, you had to be there. It makes me feel like a righteous old man.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I actually went to an Oasis concert. I thought they were a brilliant songwriting band.
I was a big Oasis fan.
Oasis are not just influenced by the Beatles; they actually take stuff. Then they get praised.
I thought if Oasis could get away with sounding like The Beatles, I could get away with sounding like Abba.
I grew up with the Beatles and they are still to this day my top band played in my iTunes.
Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.
I genuinely love Oasis, and I also genuinely love Beyonce. My body gets the same pleasure. If you like different types of music, it's OK to say it.
I was still listening to the Beatles until I came here, you know.
I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puff Daddy cover a song, to have Goldie come along to my gigs - that's where my ego is at. To have my fellow musicians like what I do, that's very cool.
I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis.
