So yes.. I think they are better.

If you invented an amazing innovitive invention.. (bare with me on this!).. then I copied it... but made one subtle change to it that people prefered. Then Im sorry but no matter how important you were in the process of its creation, my newer version is gona be better.

Oasis are a great band!! They sing about things I can relate to. They have two great singers. And thanks to cleverly, or cheekily, studying their influences, the beatles, stone roses, t-rex, the result is something very cool.

*awaits lordathestrings next racial slur* :rolleyes:

Again, 2 cents from me- I don't know if I like to say this band is better than this band, because people have said they've liked bands I've been in and others have said my bands have um... what's that thing you do with a straw? ;)

Oasis, even acknowledges that they borrow heavily from the beatles because of the respect that they have for the beatles and that they want kids to look into their influences. Let's be honest, if you heard I am the Walrus on the radio today, only older people will know what it is, but if a band like Oasis gives it a nod because they dig the beatles, then that's one more band kids may listen to that they wouldn't have otherwise. I used to hate the Beatles until I heard U2's cover of helter skelter which prompted me to look into Revolver and the White Album, and those are 2 of my favorite records today... anyway, just a thought.
