Neither the "blues" nor "Berry" had much of a foothold in the late 1970s/early 1980s of their musical awakening, especially in post-Punk England, only their heroes' (Beatles, Stones, etc.) interpretations -- just as rock and roll itself has no place in 2018.Quote

oasis, were way to overrated and compared to a lot of music of other generations most of their stuff was bland, with a couple of good songs.
also had 2 characters who disappeared up their own back side several times.

Likewise, can you name the 1940s Big Band guitarist Chuck Berry used as one of the major templates for how he approached the electric guitar? (Hint, he stole one of Cxxx Hxxxx's riffs note for note as the intro for his own Johnny B. Goode.) Only Berry's interpretations found their way into the approach of the Stones, and so on and so on...
Same here. (What's the Story) Morning Glory takes me right back to my high school years.Quote
Hairball
Loved their first two albums when they were released - bought both on vinyl and all the singles (7 and 12 inch) as well as a couple bootlegs.
They've become sort of a time capsule of that era though, and I don't listen to any of it anymore except on the rare occasion for nostalgic reasons.

One of the greatest bands of all time.
I was making a very thoughtful assessment of how musicians absorb the interpretations of musical influences from their heroes, uh, through the ages...Quote

I do not do this often, but Dude, what planet are YOU from? This band beat the UK and the world over the head with rock and roll and took it home with them. To go from 2 different 2,500 seaters in the US in April, 1996 to 100,000 for 2 days in England tells me that they were not "overrated" or "bland".
They so respected the Stones, as I heard tracks from Beggars thru Some Girls on their "opening" "walk-in" music.
Finally, if you have not, go listen to their cover of Street Fighter. Amazing and reverent at the same time.
Like them or not, fine. Don't call them overrated or bland, though.

'They were big in the UK (mostly thanks to screaming teen girls, who have no sense of music quality at that age anyway, sorry ladies).'
Well well, what an outrageous statement! And the 'sorry ladies' just doesn't cut it, as you meant it, and doubtless aren't sorry
It's not only the relating this to Oasis that is offensive, as this statement could be applied to ....err, let's think now........ The RS maybe? (amongst many more) (fwiw I don't care much for Oasis either)
I was passionate about RS from age of 12 (like so many others).
50+ years on I have no reason to doubt my youthful judgement, in fact I would say my 'sense of musical quality at that age' has stood me in good stead to this day
