The Farmer hates Oasis Smashing Tunes thread

Don’t go Dunphying all over @Spidey ’s day mate

Liam should go on Joe Rogan and he might crack America now if they can be bothered. Bill Burr is a fan iirc

Liam might not have cracked America, but he rode Patsy Kensit and one of the Appleton sisters.

Liam’s comments in the interview above about sad people and those wot don’t dress properly leave them well placed to crack America now.

Were Oasis actually big anywhere outside of the UK?

Mainly the UK then? A pretty niche act in global terms.

The Cranberries were bigger globally

All musical acts ever are niche acts in global terms then.

The Beatles were a niche act globally but it was a pretty big niche.

Surely it’s a quantifiable thing by album sales. I googled there but couldn’t find any top 20 of worldwide sales or anything

Massive in Argentina too

They were big in Japan, but not Big in Japan

No, they were from Liverpool.

Nah, unless you consider Garth Brooks a bigger and more influential artist than Michael Jackson.

Within reason. If Metallica or Nirvana sold more albums than oasis they are a bigger band. Oasis are my favourite band but id be interested in seeing the figures. Has Gareth sold more than wacko jacko?

The Cranberries broke America.

A much bigger band than oasis

Trump broke America. Poor aul Biden has spent the last four years trying to fix it

I would suspect that the two biggest bands of the 90s are U2 and Metallica in terms of both sales and global appeal.
Edit. and of course the Spice Girls.
