I too own a fair few on that list.

Music is all about personal choice, we know, but there are rip-offs and influences, and there is a huge difference.

I would have had Joni Michell (Blue), and Manics (Holy Bible) higher than they are, and how come no Kinks??





With regards Grandads and Young 'uns, why does age make musical taste an issue?



Discuss.

ooooooh joy

vasty once again I am in total agreement Oasis are by no means original.

to be fair have they ever denied their influences?

neither did the stones the beatles or the who deny theirs.







fact is they can play live, rest of the discussion is all just opinion, as all music is.

I know what you mean, but the poll in question was 2006 - the only albums that I would say are quite a lot 'artificially' high would be say:



The Killers

THe Kaiser Cheifs

Franz Ferdinand

Keane



Everything else, whilst probably jostling for position a bit, would remain fairly constant if the poll was done in another 10 years or so I reckon.

Didn't blow his load on his first album though - a bit more staying power has Liam (& Co).....

I didn't realise anybody had claimed they are?

Being the worlds highest paid tribute band they wouldn't.

Are you an MP? You must be if you call that accurate.



Both the Beatles and the Stones and countless other bands started off their careers imitating their heroes of that there is no doubt.



However within a few year both the Beatles and the Stones or the Clash (for Gingers benefit) and even today Take That managed to develop their own sound.



There is little simularity between Seargent Pepper and Elvis or Sympathy for the Devil and Muddy Waters. Oasis on the other hand still sound like Oasis did in 1994 who in turn sounded just like a fuzzed up Beatles.



People try to argue against percieved wisdom are daft IMO, it's such a waste of time - black men make better sprinters than white men, Indians make great accountants, British people are a lot funnier than Germans and Oasis are blatant rip off merchants long after they had an excuse to be. I have no facts to prove it, no data, no expert opinion to back it all up - it just is - you know it. I know it. ta

To be fair I don't think Liam's contribution was the same as Brown's. While Oasis managed a pretty decent second album they've not done anything for me since. Both bads peaked with their first album as did my other favourite band Guns N Roses. Still better 1 all time classic than churning out endless middle of the road, same old same old crap like a lot of bands do.

Can't really get into Guns N Roses, much prefer the baggy stuff myself. I take your point about Oasis and the individual contributions though - but don't agree about the 1 good album. 2 amazing albums and few more very good ones, even the B side "album" was very very solid in my opinion - far better than most others.

What do you think are the best tracks?

And the first two are two of the best live bands!!
