Oasis.
Oasis have had 4 albums reach the number one spot, which
says everything really. They are one of the most successful bands in chart
history. They are a band which is always in the spot light, mainly due
to the Gallagher brothers. They have also had several number 1 singles
released from these albums. Noel Gallagher is the lead singer and guitarist
and his brother Liam is the lead singer for the band and songwriter. The
two brothers are often in the papers usually most days of the week for
saying or doing one thing or another. They have been know to have had feuds
with another two groups BLUR and The Spice Girls and their is the latest
one with Robbie Williams. Liam is known as a bit of a loud mouth, but to
me this adds to the charm of the band. To me Oasis are one of the best
Rock bands to this day and when What's the Story (Morning Glory) became
the second best selling album in British history think my point is
proven. However that doesn't mean I agree with a lot of the garbage they
come out with, and they can be pretty full of themselves but who wouldn't
be if you were adored by thousands. There were some doubts as to whether
their latest album Standing on the shoulders of Giants would be as successful
as the ones before, but when 270,000 copies of Be Here Now was sold in
one day, it is a hard act to follow. However Standing on the Shoulders
of Giants went straight in at number one in the UK charts, they have had
less success in the US however they are receiving great reviews from some
of Americas top rock journalists. Their tour begins this week in seattle
and good luck to them I say.
