This just reads like a massive..."look at how awesome my taste in music post" and you kinda look like a bit of an idiot because of it. And because you've taken it upon yourself to patronise some poor girl who's only 15 or 16. I loved Oasis when I was 15, I wouldn't be surprised if you loved Oasis when you were 15, she'll discover better music as she gets older. That's how it works. Not need to be so condescending.Firstly... lady GaGa has even garnered respect from people in the metal community... THE hardest community to garner respect in. She writes her own music, LIVES her art, and her art is a parody of all things pop.
Secondly... Yea Oasis are good, but you're doing music 2 right? You need to expand your horizons beyond bad 90s, Beatle Copying rock. Porcupine Tree, Snow Patrol, TV on the Radio, The Middle East, Blue Foundation, Feist, Gomez, Khin Myint, Muse, Radiohead, The Raconteurs, Smashing Pumpkins, The Smiths, Something for Kate, Sufjan Stevens - have all produced amazing stuff in the last few years... and that's just a quick list off the top of my head, without even cycling through iTunes...
Now just to completely contradict myself and act like a total prick.
- Any list that includes Snow Patrol as an artist that has produced 'amazing stuff in the last few years' loses any musical credibility.
- And you're telling her to broaden her horizon from bad 90s rock, yet you list Smashing Pumpkins, who made great stuff in the 90s, but if you think Billy Corgon (not Smashing Pumpkins no matter what he says)and his travesty of an album, which is the only Smashing Pumpkins record released in the last few years, was amazing stuff you've regressed past anyone who thinks Don't Believe the Truth was a good album.
And massive LOL at you listing The Smiths. I don't reckon that a band that hasn't released an album in decades is producing some 'amazing stuff in the last few years'. Morrisey may still be releasing great stuff. But reports I remember reading last year that said The Smiths were being offered 50 million to reform and do 3 UK gigs (I'm not positive about the exact money or number of gigs) suggests that there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between Morrisey and The Smiths.
I know I'm being pedantic. But if you stop being a condescending dick, I'll stop being pedantic.
Deal?
Deal.

And on topic. Oasis is a very very average band.
