I'm a big Oasis fan honestly, I saw them in 2008 and I still love their first couple records. I haven't really seen many people hype them up as a legendary band after the initial 90s hype, so I wouldn't agree that they're one of the most overrated bands ever. Though this is my perspective as an American, might be different across the pond.

Never cared for the Stone Roses, what I've heard isn't really my thing.



"stressed" is just "desserts" spelled backwards

Can't say I disagree.


The Stone Roses I never quite got. They are so highly regarded, but I can't remember liking their music much.

It is. If you're under the age of 40 and British, people will act like you pissed on their kids if you don't like the gods of music and all time greats, Oasis.

Only God knows.

They definitely seem to be overrated in UK. Neither band was as huge over here, especially not The Stone Roses. 

This is what you want. This is what you get.

Oasis:
I wouldn't say I was sucked into the hype, but I liked the Oasis album, (What's The Story) Morning Glory. It has some great, catchy songs and at the time, no-one else was doing that kind of nod-and-a wink retro-referencing in their music, so the album was like some exciting new possibility even while it was looking backwards. They soon went off the boil imo, although their reputation continued to grow, so yes, overrated.
Stone Roses:
I don't believe me or my friends irl have ever listened to or mentioned The Stone Roses, so if they are overrated, it isn't happening around here.

To get lost is to learn the way.

The Stone Roses got some airplay on WHFS back in the day, around 1990 or so, but they never got as big as Oasis, or Blur for that matter. Blur is the first band I think of when I think of Britpop.

The Word has spoken :D

Oasis really built their career on not so much the music but the hype surrounding them, this constant rivalry with Blur, the No Way Sis thing, the two Gallaghers trying to be Lennon and McCartney. I like some of their songs but a lot of it is basic trash, and though I'm no fan of them either, the idea that they were the new Beatles was laughable.

I do love this song though.




Oasis did have their share of decent songs, especially early on but, yeah, I was kind of turned off by the Lennon-McCartney comparisons too.

The Word has spoken :D


Move over, Lennon & McCartney  8)

Only God knows.

The Stone Roses' self-titled debut opens with a 10/10 banger followed by a bunch of pale replicas, so yeah for me everyone who says it's one of the great British rock albums massively overrates it. There's just one more great song there, Made of Stone, and that's it.

Fool's Gold is another banger

You can be great and overrated you know.

Irrelevant anyway in this case as Oasis are definitely a steaming pile of shite.

Only God knows.
