The Beatles v.s. Oasis
Oasis is a band of the nineties that is often compared The Beatles. They try to be like The Beatles only to do it unsuccessfully. The lead singer of Oasis, Liam Galagher tries to be like the lead singer of The Beatles, John Lennon. The way Liam Galagher sounds, and the way he writes his music are very similar. The New York Times Magazine said, 'Oasis's second album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory', is also indebted to The Beatles. The singer Liam Gallagher sounds like a more nasal John Lennon, with the joie de vive curdled to a sour arrogance.' John Lennon wrote a song in the seventies called 'Imagine'. Oasis just released a song on their second album called 'Don't Look Back in Anger'. The beginning of this song is exactly like the beginning in 'Imagine'. Another song off their second album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory', 'Champagne Supernova' Sounds a lot like The Beatles song, 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'. If you look at some of the lyrics in Oasis's song 'Champagne Supernova' it talks about being lost in the clouds in a champagne supernova. In The Beatles song 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' it talks about climbing in the back of a newspaper taxi, with your head in the clouds. Oasis likes to make a lot of their songs sound like The Beatles. Oasis's style is a lot like The Beatles. Oasis has, what is know to people as 'The Beatle haircut'. (see back page)
Oasis is known as the biggest Britpop group of the nineties. Oasis has been on the British Charts ever since they released there second album. In the last few months 'Champagne Supernova' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger' have reached number one...
An interesting comparison
I do like the way you wrote this essay but some of the points are a little loose and not backed up terribly well. I personally don't believe Oasis are trying to copy the Beatles, but clearly they (as many other bands are) have taken lots of influence and ideas from the Beatles, which is allowed.
Oasis did dominate the charts in the 90s, Morning Glory was the biggest selling album of all time in Britain, and if they are the modern version of the Beatles, then so be it, whats wrong with that, it makes them sell well and the Beatles sell well too.
