There are bands that are clearly shambolic,
and their mixture of ineptitude and enthusiasm lends them a certain charm.

There are bands that are pretty competent, but are never going to be A-list material. The odd flash of awesome, but that's it.

Then there's Oasis: mediocrity given human form. Somehow marketed as being dangerous because they slag people off or get into spats - and yet the music is pitched so blatantly at the middle of the road it offends by its sheer inoffensiveness.

A lot of great bands have come out of Manchester. They ain't one of 'em.

Spot on
Droney, middle-of-the-road crap, with crap "jangly" guitar played by someone who can't play properly, so calls the style "jangly".

Never did understand why people liked them. I liked them even less when they said "If we'd have been born 30 years earlier, we'd have been the Beatles" (paraphrased).

How could that be true? They'd have no-one to copy from apart from themselves, and then they'd sound eve duller than they already do.
