OASIS - Definitely Maybe. My choice and superb working class rock!!! :thumbsup:
What constitutes "working class rock"? To my ears they were heavily influenced by The Beatles; so pop rather than rock, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Were the Beatles not working class ???? The definition of pop can be debated, does it mean simply popular? In which case Metallica is as much pop as the Spice Girls were. Or is it a musical genre? Does it simply mean catchy? In which case, anything of any genre can be catchy if written that way. Oasis sound is certainly rock music, they had a standard rock band line up, their music was guitar driven and took from not just the Beatles, but T-Rex, The Sex Pistols, Slade and David Bowie to name a few. Their music was certainly "heavier" than the Beatles but also more one dimensional than the Beatles who tried their hand at all sorts of styles away from their early rock n roll rooted sound.Quote:

I think you need to reply to my revised earlier reply.Quote:

Cheers (BTW, I have the first two Oasis albums and like them both.)
yeah john was mostly brought up middle class; was a bit of a troublemaker too...
seen an interview with Noel Gallagher where he says he doesn't understand why he gets accused of ripping off the Beatles since he was actually ripping off Slade and T-Rex.
Yes, both great albums !!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Quote:
