ramit Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 i have a great fondness for the Beatles and consider them one of if not the greatest musical bands in the history of the world and i must say it annoys me when they get unfairly criticized in some half handed vapid preposterous one-liner or outrageously labeled as common nursery rhymers and i do find that it's particularly irritating when it's done by an English person. The Beatles are an English institution for goodness sake, Why don't you have a go at Shakespeare while you're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean not a patch on madonnas incredible “daddy don’t get mad but I have got myself pregnant and I am not getting rid of it” or Prince singing about “the rain is purple” or the boy band claiming that “money can’t by you love” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they had some daft songs like Yellow Submarine, Octopus's Garden, but then they wrote so many varied and wonderful songs. In contrast - Oasis are perhaps the most one dimensional band I've ever known. I saw them at Derby Wherehouse supporting BMX Bandits before their first single came out and we were all laughing at how embarassingly derivative they were. That didn't change. If anything it got worse. I remember when Be Here Now came out and it was re-christened by my mate as "Listen To Once" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying all Beatles songs were rubbish because of yellow submarine and octupus's garden? That's a bit like saying all Man Utd players were all rubbish because of Eric Djemba-Djemba and Gary Birtles. Except it's more upsetting about the beatles.

Nope I will add “all you need is love” “money can’t by you Love” “help!” “She loves you yeah yeah yeah” etc etc etc all rubbish, boy band songs that if some Simon Cowell manufactured band released then now then everyone would be slating them.

Whilst I am one of the original Oasis fans, met them and watched them before most had heard of them in late 93 and early 94, they based their early sound on trying to replicate the Beatles, they used to play 2 or 3 Beatles covers, most famously I am the Walrus. I appreciate all good music, and liking one doesn't mean I cannot and should not like another. Beatles invented most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so you don't like the early stuff and you don't like the s*** ringo ones. When people quite rightly talk about the absolute genius and perfection of beatles music, they aren't talking about any of these songs. To make myself feel better I'm going to assume that you've never listened to sgt. pepper, revolver or the white album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeponacid Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Some of the Beatles stuff is pure genius, which is why so much of their stuff was covered by other top artists, including Oasis. I have to say though that Oasis had their moments although these were far less frequent than the Beatles... & if we're being honest they weren't even the best band out of Manchester, that honour goes to the Stone Roses.
