I fucking love Oasis. As a teenager in mid-1990s England they were my band. I have seen them live 8 times and, although it is cool to call them 'has beens' or whatever, they still rock and their new album is great - not trying to reclaim former glories, just banging out great tunes. Noel Gallagher is the reason I picked up a guitar and learned to play (not that he's a great guitarist, but that's not the point). Oasis provided the sound track to my youth. True, their lead singer Liam is a bit of a monkey, and they do plagiarise here and there, but there's no denying they are a great band, and since they have acquired a new bassist (Andy Bell) and a new guitarist (Gem Archer) and a new drummer (Zak Starkey, Ringo Starr's son (!)) they are even better. I was gutted they didn't play Live 8 and I am jealous of Shim going to see them, although I am sure I will see them a 9th time sometime soon.
Don't listen to Jedikev, he's an usher fan.
