Why

[Booldawg]

Sex Pistols was more about (bad) attitude and teenage rebellion that musicianship. Oasis were more of a together outfit musically. The Gallaghers were obsessed with conquering the world musically (Noel even claimed they were 'bigger than the Beatles)

Sex Pistols didnt really give a hoot about the fame and success, it was just a by-product of what they were doing.

I'd say musically Oasis were better but as an influence the Sex Pistols were light years ahead.

Who cares? I suppose sex pistols were more fun and oasis were pretentious pillocks.
preferred the Stranglers myself,

[joeluke]

Do Oasis influence anyone? A lot of their songs are extremely Beatles influenced, so anyone who says that Oasis are an influence to them are really influenced by The Beatles

[Greedyfly]

I am with Joe. Oasis were the ones who were influenced. They didn't do any influencing themselves in my opinion. They did have to odd good album but I am not really a fan. Same goes for the Pistols, again the odd great song but all in all not a fan.

If I had to choose, I would choose the Pistols because they were around first. I personally don't think you can compare the two though!

[bigfoot3000]

Joeluke I'm not a fan of the Beatles or Oasis but think that you should put that up as It would bea great question, Whether people who like the Beatles also liked oasis.

[Greedyfly]

I like the Beatles, and have listened to and enjoyed a good amount of there backcat. Oasis probably only have one album I would listen to and that's it!

[bigfoot3000]

Actually I do like this song but probably more because of the video.

Oasis

[Sooper]

The Sex Pistols's were far more influential than Oasis. One of the first gigs they did was at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall in 1976 and is often quoted as one of the most influential gigs of all time and there were some very (or about to become) famous people in attendance. Joy Division, The Smiths, The Fall, The Buzzcocks, Mick Hucknall, Paul Morley and Tony Wilson although some say that he wasnt there but wished he had been! Oh and the legend that is John the Postman!

[Mick-Talbot]

The Sex Pistols were just manufactured crap.

[Greedyfly]

And what were Oasis?

Like many many many bands!

[Mick-Talbot]

Oasis were not manufactured.

[bigfoot3000]

Maybe not manufactured but they did march to the Colombian marching Anthem like wind up toys.

[Greedyfly]

I think they were quite overrated. But at the same time, I used to work in a record shop and Oasis were big sellers all year round whether they had a new album or not.

I cannot remember a month of the year here we didn't play What's the story...

[Mick-Talbot]

Oasis for me have no great stage presence the only time any of them move is when Liam struts away from the mic in between songs. It's like looking in the window of saville row tailors.

but the Sex Pistols were just a pre cursor for the spice girls.

[merciasounds]

Liam 'I-wish-I-was-John-Lennon' Gallagher and co didn't do anything 'new' musically, and as regards 'Britpop' I think the Stone Roses and even Blur were superior to them. Musically the Sex Pistols didn't do anything new either, and as regards smashing up their instruments, Keith Moon was there well before them. Perhaps they were the first band to spit on their audience though!

[Greedyfly]

Same old same old

Unfortunately there have been and will always be many many many bands who are not at all original and churn out the same old rubbish. It has always happened and always will. Don't get me wrong I love music and I do like some of the stuff around today but after years of having to listen to chart music all day every day - you lose faith.

[Mick-Talbot]

Best thing from Blur is Graham Coxon.
Damon Albarn ..................?? What The Funicular?

[ummmm]

Damen Alburn is great.....

[Greedyfly]

Agreed with Mick there. Graham Coxon on his own was quite good. Damon is just an elbow, he annoys me a great deal.
