I think you'd basically be selling every band past about 1980 down the river but being that strict on the definition being as though nowt really new has been created since about then, just need takes on old stuff. 

 

They did however strongly influence the next generation of music, build up a full scene in this country who many of probably wouldn't have seen the light of day had they not have become as popular as they did. 

 

That's not fair, I definitely think there are some "seminal" (😂 can't keep a straight face when saying that word) bands and artists post 1980. I just don't see Oasis as one of them. They were big in this country, and a lot of people like their hits. But in a hundred, two hundred years time nobody will talk about them as a band that intrinsically changed anything. The next generation of music would've happened with or without Oasis, and would've been largely the same (because Oasis were largely the same as what came before them).

 

I might be being strict in my definitions, but I think that's justified. You can't throw an epic word like "seminal" around willy-nilly 😆

They havent released new music in nearly two decades and there is currently a few million people trying to get tickets....

 

I'd say there were seminal.

They've played a marketing blinder though. If Blur had done this, would you be saying the same thing about them right now? If you can point to any of their material that broke the mould I'd change my mind. But we both know they didn't actually change the musical landscape in any way like some of their predecessors did. Not seminal. Great rock band though, with some catchy ditties.

Disagree completely, Oasis did change the landscape.

      I'm inclined to agree, but if GC sell out the dates they have in Nov, I'm not sure they'd settle for 3rd down is my feeling
