Im sorry but the beatles, and hendrix, are from completely different eras. Whereas oasis are a band Ive grown up on. They have influenced me far greater than the beatles. Hendrix is about the thee most dissimilar guitarist to me. Hes had no influence on me what so ever. I dont like his stuff.. its dated.. it sounds ok on car adverts but thats it. Even going by the way older musci was recorded... perhaps if bands like the beatles could re-record their hits in a modern way then Id like them but the overall tone of beatles and hendrix stuff sounds very dated.

Im going to see Oasis this summer!!

I thought Oasis were only big in the UK... do you USA guys know who we are talking about?!

Oasis is a great band- I kinda thought Blur were a little catchier, but I dig Oasis!

You are right though, the Beatles and Hendrix do sound somewhat dated, but it's not like they're worthless- old guys like me usually just don't want people being like "your music sucked!" It's all a measure of taste, but Oasis man, hell my band does Don't look back in anger sometimes just for kicks. I kinda like how they sneak in snippets from beatles tunes- like Champagne Supernova has a borrowed phrase from Hey Jude, and they even throw a nod to Derek and the Dominoes in there with the bird noise at the end of the song.

uh... I forgot where this was going... um... but the short end of it is that Oasis rocks.
