How influential were oasis?

Answer 1

They have sold over 50 million records worldwide (not many bands can say that), have a total of eight number one singles, been going strong for 15 years, their latest album went platinum, they sell out every venue they play, a gig in England once sent minor shock waves through the surrounding are due to the loudness of the gig and the fact there were 250,000 people jumping and screaming, they could have thirty issues of The Sun newspaper covered front to back with the total amount of articles printed on them, they have the fastest selling debut album in the UK, the list goes on...

However those are all numbers and statistics that don't matter at all. What matters is how they have influenced countless of today's and past musicians/bands. They were the voice of a generation who were tired of the electronic rubbish and looking for something after the death of grunge. They have never split up. The lead singer Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel (songwriter/guitarist) have been in Oasis since the beginning. They don't care what you think. They say what they mean. They play rock and roll music. They don't try to be anyone else but a couple of lads from Manchester who love to play music.

Influential? I guess so.
