Oasis??


Now a days, if you ask someone here in the states who Oasis are they would just look at you with a black face; however, in Britain, it's a totally different story. Oasis started in the 90s releasing great hits and slamming the charts with amazing Anglo anthems. U.S. top 10 hit "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" practically made them the Biggest Band of the Planet. They were known everywhere, but then out of the blue they disappeared.

What happened to them? Sadly, Britpop never quite took off here in the States. Spin magazine declared Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque the top album of 1991, but a little American-made album called Nevermind stole all its thunder. Other British bands caught up with legal problems and so nowadays the only real British-band success story in America, is Coldplay.

But Oasis probably don't care, as they're still one of Biggest Bands On The Planet. They've sold more than 50 million records worldwide; have racked up eight number-one singles in Britain; and have won 15 NME Awards, five Brit Awards, and nine Q Awards. Their 2005 album Don't Believe The Truth was their most successful and critically heralded in years, and their seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul is garnering similarly high praise.

Even though Oasis had its rough times, their music and souls will live forever.
