Stone Roses or Oasis?

It's not necessarily about re-inventing themselves but there should be and with most of the best bands there is a progression with successive albums where they stretch themselves and try different things. Oasis simply didn't do this and by the fourth album it just got very tired.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate Oasis they have some good songs but all this generation inspiring best band of the 90's bollox that people come out with just isn't true and I was 15 or so when supersonic came out so if they were to be a band of a generation then it would've been mine.


Oasis got to their third album and decided they needed the big band soundtrack, because thats what the beatles did when they became successful. They went downhill from there and I think that shows the limit of their creative powers. Great band though

Anyone who comes on this thread and trys to justify their belief that Oasis are better than The Stone Roses, well... :lol:

anyone who thinks a band who were around for 2 seconds, produced one album of note and couldnt do it as a live act are great :lol::lol::lol:

The Roses were like the Pistols. One class album which grabbed peoples attention and then...... nowt.

One album of note or one album voted the best of all time by NME readers and Observer Music Monthly readers. Readers of The Dandy voted Be Here Now the fourth best from Manchester

Around for 8 years with the peak period line up, to be fair. The fact that they didn't do as much as they should have in that spell isn't entirely their fault (it mostly is though).
 
But even in there short spell (SR) There are some hidden gems in their small(ish) catalogue such as Driving South, So Young etc. The same cant be said for Oasis imo, apart from the 1st album maybe. Thats why also The Stone Roses are best left alone as it is, but Oasis carried on being shite for years after.

The Sex Pistols were shit.
 
What the fuck is this obsession nowadays with bands supposedly needing to reinvent themselves for fear of becoming 'a pardody of themselves'??

What were they suppose to do, release a reggae album?

Nee wonder you get all these fannies jumping on the bandwagon of every single latest fresh new "amazing 'cos Zane Lowe told me so" band that comes along. :roll:

Its just boring, and lazy. It always seems to be the same bands aswell. Oasis, Green Day, Foo Fighters etc. Its kind of like they don't even care themselves anymore so churn out a sub standard album with a few radio-friendly songs on to play to 40 odd thousand people (knowing that they will turn up for the hits). Surely its the best time to be creative as songwriters, or maybe the money talks? I'm sure in 10 years time, Noel Gallagher will agree that the last 10 years of Oasis were a bit shit.

I dunno who selected the tracklisting for Oasis' best of but mine woulda been very different. As for the Stone Roses, even the most ardent fan would struggle to offer as much as an alternative because it simply doesn't exist (Love Spreads should be on there like).

Nowadays? Every band used to to do it naturally back in the day. Nobody stood still for more than a couple of years doing the same thing like today. Compare The Beatles different periods in their 8 year career to The Strokes 10 year one.

Could you do that for the Stones Roses?
