can you name the 1940s Big Band guitarist Chuck Berry used as one of the major templates for how he approached the electric guitar?
Chuck often mentioned Jordan's Tympany Five as a major influence lyrically and musically ....

Charlie Christian must have been an influence I reckon.

Five 10 outta 10 songs. Putis43, maybe Oasis is the same for ya as Arctic monkeys or coldplay is for me but I can't really see why when one must consider Oasis one of the 5 Big English ROCK N ROLL bands of all time (Stones, Beatles,The Who and Led Zep are the other 4). Who else could join this club?? Faces maybe but they were not even close to Oasis and Stones popularity for instance. Pink Floyd didnae have the WHOLE package (Songs, looks, attitude, longevity, and most important, the proper hedonism).

I do wish Oasis had stayed together. Its kind of a simplistic view to say something like that. Who knows what all went on? But once again it proves the point, that conflict, controversy make for good art.
Liam, I guess is trying to stay shook up, to be an antagonist. But his counterweight is gone; his straight-man.
Noel on the other hand must have said "Ah, free at last. I can do exactly what I have been wanting to do all along". And his solo albums are well crafted. Good solid craftmanship. Everything exactly in the right place; lots of medium tempos. I got to say, not until his last album have I woken up. I saw a video of a Live in Studio gig that he did with the HF Birds, and they did "Look Back in Anger", and I had to turn it off. I just couldnt stand it. He was singing it like those contestants on American Idol.
Oasis wasn't as good as they thought they were. But they were on their way towards becoming. I liked their latter albums too. They needed to stick it out. They were at their 8th album; probably 12-13 years into career. Stones hadnt even done "Some Girls" yet, Neil Young had not even hit his rough era in the 80's yet,U2 was getting ready for "Pop".

"I write on this thread again, because it is unfathomable how any in IORR (where all of us know good rock and roll) could summarily dismiss a band as good as was Oasis. I don't care if you don't listen to anything after 1969 or if you saw the Stones on Eel Pie Island and used to drink with Andrew Loog Oldham, Oasis were a great rock and roll band whose best musical moments were near the level the Stones' enjoyed at their peak. Rock and Roll Star and Morning Glory are as straight ahead rock and roll as the 1990s ever heard.....
One example of just how big Oasis were - in 1995, Oasis was so big in the UK until a 45 of the Gallagher brothers' argument reached #52 on the UK charts in November of 1995! Wibbling Rivalry Wiki

I saw Oasis several times, in large venues such as Wembley Stadium and Finsbury Park to smaller gigs such as Shepherds Bush Empire and the Clapham Grand. They were always exciting to watch and produced some great tunes, with their well known Beatles influences and occasional Stones references guaranteed to raise a smile.
Liam's solo 'As You Were' album is probably the best either of them has released since the demise of Oasis. Only he (on 'You'd Better Run') could think of rhyming 'Give Me Shelter' with 'Helter Skelter'!!
No I adore both The Black Crowes and Oasis passionately.Quote

This is a funny thread, much better than Mick's hair. I saw Oasis on the Brotherly Love Tour where they played with The Black Crowes. Both bands were great but were very different. I'm pretty sure all the Oasis haters in this thread like The Black Crowes. I happen to enjoy them both and the 5 thousand people at Radio City Music Hall did too.

I saw Oasis in Milan. Terrific!

If I am not mistaken, every album Oasis released went to number one in the U.K. (at least) and they were recording/touring artists for over 15 years. So I don't think they could be described as short lived.

Here in the U.S. they were strictly a 90s phenomenon. They had two top 10 albums in 1995 and 1997, and after that people lost interest.
They went from multi-million sales in the 90s to one or two hundred thousand an album in the 2000s.
Only three of their singles ever charted in the U.S., and only one of those made the top 40 -- Wonderwall (#8).
Technically, as far as the U.S. is concerned, Oasis was just a one-hit wonder.

Well put RollingFreak - this is pretty funny I simply said I found the documentary very entertaining. It just focuses on their rapid rise to fame with the 2 sold out show @ Knebworth in the summer of 1996 then it all came crashing down... I personally think they were on top of the world for that short time they had what a great rock band is all about - attitude, passion and the element of chaos.. you just never knew what was going to happen on any given night. You can't say that about too many bands imho
Yes the Stones are #1 and always will be, but hey we can like other bands and artists also, just sayin !!
