Why is Oasis a lightning rod for opinion? Most fans love them. Then there are a bunch that just... errr well don't like them. Oasis is a British rock band formed in 1991 in Manchester, known for their influential role in the Britpop movement of the 1990s. The band's core lineup featured brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, with Liam as the lead vocalist and Noel as the primary songwriter and guitarist. Oasis gained worldwide fame with albums like Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), which included hits like "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger," and "Champagne Supernova."
Their music is marked by a blend of rock, pop, and heavy influences from The Beatles. Despite their success, the Gallagher brothers had a famously tumultuous relationship, leading to the band's breakup in 2009. Since then, both Liam and Noel have pursued solo careers, with fans eagerly awaiting a potential reunion. Despite being complete **holes, they write great tunes according to humans.
