If you had to choose between the two, which would it be?
Obviously neither are great, but the choice is between Beatles rip-off or Radiohead rip-off. Oasis are infinitely cooler, usually I’d say they’re easily the better band. But if you ignore whether they’re cool or not (you might argue neither are) and just compare their best works (songs from both of their first two albums and maybe bits of Be Here Now, X&Y and Viva La Vida) and ignore their bad stuff, it’s a bit less clear which one is better.
I think I’d rather have the option of listening to The Scientist over Wonderful, tbh.
got to be coldplay. they have at least 3 listenable songs. oasis are just everything wrong with music and everything wrong with people mashed together.
Revisited the first two coldplay albums recently and was surprised how much I quite enjoyed them. Put it down to nostalgia. The problem, for me, with both bands is the utter lack of any meaningful progression from one album to the next. Oasis definitely (maybe) take it though. Big part of my childhood. Proper 90s
