Is Oasis even relevant anymore? They certainly aren't over here in the US of A. |

Not really.
They never really caught on over here. They had a hit or two, and then disappeared. |

Their music is a very bad copy of the Beatles and their attitude is appalling.
Without impressionable kids buying their crap, those Gallagher brothers would be nothing but a couple of Twockers in Manchester.

I could post a ton of stats about them, but you won't change your mind about anything. Hell, I'll post them anyway.
First two releases sold 27.5 million. First release is the UK's 3rd fastest selling debut album. The second release is the UK's 3rd biggest selling album. 49 million total sales worldwide.
Just because they are not popular in the USA, only means the music buyers here are idiots. Oasis isn't played on the radio or MTV, so they'll never sell what they did when MTV and radio gave them airtime.
And for the record, that was a stupid thing to say. It's not even representative of most anti war opinions.
Some fan polls:
Observer Music Monthly 100 Greatest British Albums poll, June 2004 — #19 Definitely Maybe, #70 (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
Channel 4 100 Greatest Albums of All Time, April 2005 — #6 Definitely Maybe, #15 (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
NME's 100 Best Albums of All Time, 2003 — #13 Definitely Maybe, #37 (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
Q Magazine's 100 Greatest Albums of All Time, 2003 — #8 Definitely Maybe, #22 (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
Q Magazine's 50 Greatest Bands List, 2004 — #13 Oasis
Virgin Radio's 100 Greatest British Artists, 2003 — #3 Oasis
Q Magazine's 100 Greatest Gigs, 2004 — #3 Oasis - Knebworth 1996
SPIN magazine's Top 100 Albums from 1985-2005 — #28 Definitely Maybe
Q Magazine's 50 Best British Albums Ever, July 2003 — #1 Definitely Maybe
Q Magazine Reader's 100 Greatest Albums, January 2006 — #5 Definitely Maybe, #8 (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
NME's/Book of British Singles and Albums, June 2006 — #1 Definitely Maybe, #5 (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
(What's The Story) Morning Glory? named 376th greatest album of all time on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums list
Q Magazine's 100 Greatest Songs Ever poll, October 2006 — #1 Live Forever, #2 Wonderwall, #20 Don't Look Back in Anger, #35 Champagne Supernova |

No, I'm not. The reason their music flopped in the US is because THEY SUCK. |

I don't quite understand your point. Your opinion is that Oasis sucks. The 49 million records sold says otherwise. Someone likes them. It isn't you. And?
It's like posting in a thread about what a company driver would expect from dispatch. But your reply is, "I wouldn't know, I'm an O/O." :? |

According to Wikipedia, the Macarena sold 110 million copies as of 1997, and was the #1 song for 14 weeks straight. It still sucked. Just sayin'. :wink: |

That one hit wonder sold over twice the amount of albums that Oasis did, and yet they are of no relevance. How many hits they had is irrelevant. |
