I've been a big brit-pop/brit-rock fan since Noel Gallagher was still a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets, and have to admit there was *some* excitement when the first two Oasis records came out. Nothing they did, of course, was anywhere near The Beatles' worst record (whichever that may be). But I would say Oasis became irrelevant in 1997. After that all they've done is have a radio-friendly single or two per album, making them as stale as a million other bands out there. I don't think they can even dream of achieving the musical heights of Radiohead (or Damon Albarn, for that matter.) It is rather annoying the press keeps paying so much attention to every stupid remark Liam has to make. Oh, and I've seen both bands: Oasis once, Radiohead three times (and will see them again next week in San Francisco). I guess those numbers will help you conclude whose concerts I have more fun at.
