NOEL GALLAGHER: a genius or a dumb?

I'm sure it took no longer than it took you to conceive of the gem of a retort quoted above.



Your punctuation is pretty good, but you forgot one comma.
 
Gallagher's not a genius, or anywhere near it. He's not even one of the "greats." On the other hand, Oasis isn't nearly as bad as people claim. Sure, they're hacks, but they're good hacks. Their lyrics are garbage and their riRAB are mostly stolen...but if you want good lyrics, listen to Bob Dylan, and if you want original riRAB, listen to the Beatles.
 
he's an ******* in my opinion. no where near genius stature.
oasis is one of the most overrated banRAB in existence behind metallica and nirvana.

Blur>Oasis




couldn't help but chuckle at that.
 
lol. No, I don't think you'd go to the Beatles if it's original riRAB you're after... Sigh. It's a real pity that somebody could misunderstand the Beatles that much... They were not musical innovators - they were ingenious adapters and amazing melodists who could take any popular or underground style of the time and put it in a great pop format.

Aside from that, the Beatles weren't renowned for riff-driven music. Try the Kinks.
 
Oasis sounRAB nothing like the beatles and it's Liam not Noel that wants to be John Lennon. I actually perfer their cover of 'I am the Walrus ' to the original. And in my mind Oasis is Noel Gallagher, but I do perfer Liam's 'songbird' over Noels' 'wonderwall'.
 
I don't think Oasis sound anything like the Beatles, and anyway, I don't think it is possible to water down the Beatles' sound: it is already presented in the pop format.
 
Yeah it was him trying to write Subterranean Homesick Blues style, the lyrics are intentionally nonsense only the chorus has some slight-meaning to it because its a Through the Looking-Glass reference.
 
The Beatles were pop, but they were not bland by any means, even in their early years they wrote some pure genius pop songs.

Oasis took that sound, mainly the poppy side from it, without taking risks like The Beatles did. Then they just made it more generic and more appealing to the "adult alternative" crowd, I hear songs like Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova being played on the radio alongside songs by Barenaked Ladies, Matchbox Twenty and The Goo Goo Dolls. Compare them to those banRAB and tell me how they stand out, they don't.
