Tbf you could probably rip a lot of song lyrics to bits non more so than the Beatles (most overrated band in the history of music) in my opinion of course

So that makes them better? Just to clarify, your definition of better is populairty/quantity sold?

What would the super league table have looked liked if it was on average attendances ?

Oasis were the greatest rock band of the 90's "some might say" they only had 1/2 good albums but if you asked 50 people what their favourite Oasis track was you would get 50 different answers.
My favourite would be Columbia

This thread is quite amusing - that people still have debates like this in the 2010s as if Oasis and the Stone Roses are still as important as they were in the 1990s!
I liked Oasis when I was a teenager in the 90s. However, the more I found out about music, the more I realised that they didn't have any attributes of a great band. Definitely Maybe is still a good album but their failure to innovate or match it on later releases is a poor legacy. All Oasis had that many other derivative britpop acts of the 90s didn't was that extra bit of swagger and posturing that won them a place in lad culture and lots of sales. Musically they are completely unremarkable. I can understand why people like them, but the same applies to the Spice Girls, who were presumably more commercially successful at the time.
