I've always found the Manchester music scene of 80'-90's to be my favorite from across the pond. The post punk to the Madchester bands. There was some great bands I still regularly listen to.

Severely. Richard Ashcroft is a great musician. I always tell people ‘They did more than Bittersweet Symphony, ya know?’ They really did a lot of psychedelic, trippy stuff.

Just an incredibly underrated band.

A few years ago I picked up a beat up copy of A Storm In Heaven for like a quarter at a yard/garage sale or whatever. Excellent stuff. I've listened to that one way more than stuff I paid 20 bucks for. Goes well with Ride and Catherine Wheel.

One thing I've learned is the difference in perception of Oasis in the US and the UK is the length of the Atlantic Ocean. Oasis can compete with any band in the UK in terms of popularity and reception.

Check out Curve with the lovely and talented Toni Halliday. She is girl in my avatar. Have been burning up their stuff. Criminally underrated band

If Oasis reunited and started healthily making music again, could they sell out stadium shows again?

I think so, at least at first.

Even when they were making great music, I'm not sure it was done so healthily. Liam was probably putting down a kilo of coke a day.

Oasis would immediately begin selling out stadium shows in Europe, a little bigger than Noel and Liam are doing now in America. They would sell Macca level in Europe and Japan though, easily.

You talk about a band that paved the way for Garbage. (And I like Garbage a lot - Version 2.0 is an amazing album.) Shirley Manson ought to be glad Toni Halliday never stuck a pistol in her face and said "Bitch, you owe me some big time money."

I don’t think they could sell out stadiums in the US. They could headline some festivals though and do large arenas.

In the UK, they could easily sell out back to back Wembley nights. The rest of Europe they could probably do stadiums too. I’d be curious to see how many Wembleys they could sell out in a row. If one filled, do another etc. I wonder where it’d stop.

Oasis is a great band.

Not consistently great (SotSoG was shite, outside of one song), but a great band.

And Noel has been killing it for a while.

I don't think Oasis could sell out arenas in the U.S......maybe NYC or LA then maybe. They are huge in the UK and Europe and fill those places but never got that big in the U.S.

Kasabian is another great band that is huge over there but no one really knows them here.

No. They were an aesthetically driven, backwards-looking band that pushed derivative-yet-pompous jangle pop passed off as epic rock anthems. Also, Noel Gallagher's nasally bleating is simply too much for me to bear.

Oasis was easily the most overrated band of 90s British rock.

Agree 100%. They were so much better than Oasis.
