More like comparing Creed to Nickleback.

The first should've never been permitted into a recording studio due to overwhelming SUCK.

The second had like one song that was worth the money people paid for it.

I realized this weekend, while trapped in a car with a smarmy young twenty something post-modernist poetry adjunct instructor starting his doctoral program in the spring, that "Wonderwall" is one of those few songs that actually inspires me to violence.

Or maybe it was "Wonderwall" paired with his simple presence, I'm not sure.

If you happen to read this, Glen...yeah, I farking walked.

Frankly I think all four parties have reason to feel insulted by that comparison.

Hey, cha cha, comparing Kylie Minogue's soulful tones to Paris Hilton's magnum opiate is like comparing the third movement of Beethoven's ninth to my second movement of the morning, baby.

/Miller

She did that reggae-pop song a couple of years ago, right? That song actually wasn't that bad.

In their defense, Oasis does have a decent song or two. Wonderwall is shiat, but "Where did it all go wrong" is actually a good song, along with "Stop crying your heart out". Granted, the brothers are complete doucebags, but some of their songs don't actually suck.

this is more interesting thread topic than the inevitable Oasis/U2 lovers/haters debate that's sure to follow.

Which is like comparing Oasis to U2

So does that mean they both suck?

So, basically, Paris Hilton is giving Bansky a chance to vandalize more of her albums?

I can't WAIT.

Heh. See, to me it means one is tolerably mediocre while the other was awesome twenty years ago.

I'm at work, otherwise I would be busy hotlinking pictures of Kylie Minogue's apocalyptically rogerable backside.
Do not let this potential go wasted and turn this into yet another boring and predictable music snob thread, fellow farkers.

The onus is on you.

/Ew, I got some onus on me, too.

Because her last album went over sooo well she's going to find someone to put out another one?

I actually really like Oasis

I'm very interested in meeting one person that plans on buying this album.

U2 was never awesome, that's just the nostalgia kicking in.

Superevil: I'm very interested in meeting one person that plans on buying this album.

It would probably be the one person who went to see Hottie & the Nottie. If they haven't hung themselves for it.

So like, comparing something that is not good to something that is just bland. I get it.

Now that's a provocative analogy.

/Brain explodes.

This is why I'm for a Scarlet Letter for actions- get busted for DUI, have 'DUI' stamped on them. Get arrested for child molestation, get 'M' tattooed on them. Buy a Paris Hilton CD, have 'P' (hehe 'p') on them, so you know who to just stay away from...

TTIUWOP, so I bring you the hottie:

and the nottie:

I'd listen to Oasis over U2. Just an opinion, nothing to get worked up over.

I also really dislike Radiohead. That should get some people angry.

Agreed. At some point, we have all been trapped in a car with a wanktastic pedant and the urge to kill.

/Hate the phrase "post-modern", too.

What are your views on Rush? Or Neil Peart?

OK, I'll bite since I've never lurked or been a part of a Oasis hate thread: why do the peoples hate them so? Other than the brothers being, well, pricks.

Enlighten this farker.

I dont understand headline, or why fark staffers greenlight such things.

Oasis is farking great, but how many bands can compare to U2? Although I am not a fan of commercial world-wide "brands" like they have become.

Paris and the Kyle broad are interchangable, and equation makes no sense.

And don't forget to call the Beatles overrated.

I love this thread.

No one is sure exactly who is being insulted, so everyone is taking offense.

Brilliant. I doff my cap to Smits.

So subby thinks U2 is good??? Subby is a retard

Oasis = teh awesome. As a (relatively) recent fan, I missed much of the mid-90s overplayed "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger."

I think the brothers being angry assholes is part of their charm. What other bands can the members yell how much they think YOU suck and then people just cheer them? Awesome. haha!

Anyone wanting to hear some decent stuff should check out "farkin' in the Bushes," "Supersonic," "Falling Down," "D'Ya Know What I Mean," and "Morning Glory." Great songs.

One reason (among many)why Kylie is better than Paris.

Duet (new window)

All we are is entertainment
Caught up in our own derangement
Tell us what to say and what to do
All we are are pretty faces
Picture perfect bottled rage
Packaged synthesized versions of you

We've all made petty fortunes but we can't afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes and hotel rooms
They all scream California and its toppling empire
But can't you see the end is coming soon

Come one come all the new sensation
Guarantees then obligations
Spotlights follow every single move
Basking here on ten foot stages
Pouty lips and oh so jaded
All as if we have something to prove

Despite these petty fortunes we still can't afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes and hotel rooms
They all scream California and its toppling empire
But can't you see the end is here

And if we cared at all
about this unknown plight
then we'd do something more
to finally make this right

Is this only entertainment
Pull the curtains, places please
We've learned to sing and dance and cry on cue
But this is more than entertainment
In a world so sick with pain
This is the only thing that's real or true

We've all made petty fortunes but we can't afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes and hotel rooms
They all scream bloody murder over graves already dug
But can't you see the end

It bugs me to no end when the news reports another no talent famous for being famous idiot releases an album. I know lots of musicians who are worthy, talented and struggling to get that kind of financial backing.

Should've kept her in jail, reduced the public health risk and elevated popular culture in one stroke.

Well said. I even have a word for this:

The Lenny Breau effect.

Lets see how many times you hear an Oasis song 20 years from now in the mainstream. And yes I do think U2 is the best ever. YMMV but they definitely don't suck.

//First time seeing them - 1983
// Get off my lawn punk

You know, I normally don't talk about Paris Hilton. Can we PLEASE just ignore her? PLEASE? She'll go away, then. I PROMISE.

Awww....did someone just get kicked off of "My new BFF?"

Kylie Minogue can make an excellent dance album.
Paris Hilton cannot.
U2 can make an excellent rock album.
Oasis cannot.
I may not like Kylie Minogue, but at least she has talent.
And as overrated as U2 is, I still like 'em.

/subby

/one of the most underrated albums of the 90s

Say what you will about Kylie getting old, and the plastic surgery and all...but I would give a kidney to hit that, but wouldn't give a stolen turd to hit Paris.

You spelled 'overrated' wrong.

kylie minogue to begin suing for libel in 3... 2... 1...

Honest to God, I've never heard "Wonderwall." If I have, I don't remember.

Marisyana: Honest to God, I've never heard "Wonderwall." If I have, I don't remember.

Picture the nasally, whiny, simpering voice of a neutered man soaring on lithium doing this for five interminable minutes:

And after aaaaaa-aaaa-aaaalllllllllll
you're my wonderwaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaalllllll
you're my wonderwaaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaalllll
after aaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaallllllll
aaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaalllllll

I prefer Oasis to U2, but enjoy both.

More like comparing horse shiat to cow shiat.
