Apparently if anyone other than you opens the hard case the guitar punches you in the face.

I did really enjoy their live cover of “I am the Walrus.”
As much as I liked them as a band, their is not a single song of theirs that I’d call brilliant or revolutionary. Certainly the Beatles had quite a few songs that would qualify. Scott |

Congrats! So I’m not a Gibson expert. What’s special about this guitar vs other gibsons? What’s to really like about it, Oasis aside?

To return to the guitar, I would be interested to hear from dodge when he gets it to see exactly what differences there are between the Noel and standard models - main differences look like a skinnier nut width and a slim taper profile. |

Sigh. No idea how old you are or where you were in the mid 90s, but it’s not hyperbole to say OK Computer (the one after Pablo Honey) was the single most groundbreaking album of its genre of the entire decade. Prescient, innovative. Just about every track on that album could be its own single. Purely original. Nothing remotely formulaic about it. Another band that seems to be standing the test of time, for those who have the ears to hear it...

I would have to agree that Radiohead was years beyond Oasis as far as how influential they were and ground-breaking in many ways. I really always thought of Oasis as a really good pop band that could snarl better than most.

Just my personal opinion, but comparing Oasis to Pearl Jam is a losing battle to me as they are completely different bands but Oasis wins in every meaningful category other than longevity….which actually is another win cuz they’ve been way more successful with way less time and with way less product to offer.
Pearl Jam is a great band, but they are way closer to the Grateful Dead or phish than anyrhjng else. They had commercial success for about 4 years total and built a huge audience in America that still follows them around. Grab anyone on the street and ask them if they know Pearl Jam…maybe, even probably, but have them name you a song or two…they probably can’t. Pearl Jam has had no staying power or cultural relevance for 25 years. They have a serious dedicated fan base and that is undeniable, but it’s in its own bubble. Oasis was way bigger globally, sold more, and if they could get along, they would have easily sold another 50+ million albums, maybe more. Beyond that, though, their music was everywhere for a decade, but has staying power, especially outside of America. Full soccer stadiums break into songs al over the world to this day…it’s the biggest sport on earth and their songs are part of that landscape inextricably. Stop those same people from earlier on the street, I bet you way more an Oasis song and could probably even sing one. It’s a fun conversation and discussion for sure, but Oasis is now, always has been and forever will be the bigger band. |

Number of great songs and how long they stand the test of time are a big deal. Pearl Jam was raised only as a band of similar stature at around the same time, not at all an intentional comparison of the one band against the other. (Although if you think Pearl Jam was only big for four years, you weren’t paying attention to them in the 2000s...) Oasis had a few catchy songs, and I’m glad they’re coming back in fashion with this latest renewed interest in 90s music we’ve seen lately. They’re different bands for sure.

This must be my US-Centric viewpoint, but I had no idea Oasis was that popular. I remember them being all over the Radio and MTV with songs like Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, but I never would have guessed 75 Million records sold. Particularly since they broke up relatively soon after breaking out.
