my how wrong you are finti. Do they compare themselves to the Beatles? Yep, they sure do. But Noel and Liam are both quick to point out that they have had 35 years of pop/rock music to look back upon and the Beatles had nothing. They, the Gallaghers, have said that no band can duplicate what the Beatles did, but it is possible to make better music. Now, sometimes the Gallaghers can take it a little too far with the comparisons, but the Beatles, believe it or not, are not gods.
Oasis are not as big or as good as the Beatles. But Oasis are the only worthwhile rocknroll band in the world today. If you wanna listen to girly stuff like Duncan Sheik that's fine, if you wanna listen to machine washers going wacko you can listen to limp bizkit or korn, but if you want rocknroll it's oasis. (except for their last album and 6 out of 10 songs on BE HERE NOW cuz those were crap!)
