Wreckless_Life Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Both bands are pretty limited musically, Cobain and Noel Gallagher aren't gonna win any awards for their guitar playing. But Oasis have a good singer and songs. Nirvana are far too basic in both their music and lyrics, plus Cobain's voice starts to grate after a while.I would say Oasis is comfortably the better band, plus its nice to have a band that isn't wrapped up in self pity and over angst.

appetite4illusions Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'll listen to Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Bush & L7 before I listen to Nirvana. They don't really mean much to me, other bands did the same thing they did and they did it better. Oasis for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you fucking kidding me? Oasis' lyrics are no where near as good as Cobain's lyrics. Their music is alright, they released 2 really good albums, but compared to Nevermind? They don't have shit.

Marky Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Lyrics? Yes because writing a song about killing yourself is that much better than anything that's ever been done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Lyrics? Yes because writing a song about killing yourself is that much better than anything that's ever been done before.The theme isn't important, Marky, it's the way that it's written that is vital.

kevdo242 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Lets examine Oasis' lyrics:'Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball''I can see a liar sitting by the fire''Shes got a sister and God only knows how I missed herAnd on the palm of her hand is a blister' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC185 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 In terms of lyrics, Cobain was a writer as a person, that to me is undeniable, whereas Noel just has a great way of finding the right words for the right melody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonsaul Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nirvana by far, I've never liked Oasis....actually i never liked the whole english music scene back then. ALthough it was fun getting drunk in english pubs and singing along to all this crap...english people are great singers when they are drunk and in large numbers, or are at a football, cricket, or rugby match....and drunk hahha.But Nirvana for me.

Superfuzz Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I prefer Nirvana to Oasis. I've never liked most of the songs by Oasis. As for who's more overall talented, though... that's debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly indicative of all their lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpecialist Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Nirvana and it's not even close. Oasis is one of the most overrated rock bands since U2. "What's the story morning glory" is a good...even great album but since then I haven't cared for much of their work. Nirvana had only 2 studio albums and yet still obliterate anything Oasis put out.
