I agree, I prefere the 80s stuff to 00's.

In your opinion... thye were only 'amazing' because their music was ahead of time... then when music caught up to them, they were hardly unique, just showed others could be just as good.

They borrowed heavily from American Rock and roll, which borrowed heavily from blues and so on and so on. Oasis weren't meagre blots on the musical landscape, they along with the other britpop bands brought "indie" music into the mainstream. We're still seeing the effects of that in todays chart, they were very important in the 90's.”
Great comment and soo truthful!

In terms of impact and who IMO actually had the most influence, as well as a less biased view (without taking personal taste into account):
Michael Jackson
Elvis
The Beatles
Oasis”
Thanks for a unbaised NORMAL comment.

Michael really brought the music video to a different level, he was the first black artist to be on MTV, and I respect the stance he took with them, when they wanted him he refused them unless they opened their doors to other black artists, and watching dance routines now you still see his influence, he also started the charity records for fund raising, and the fist bit of rap I heard was in Black and White, so I think he deserves the title.
Elvis brought modern music to the fore, and was a pioneer of his time in that respect, he had the charisma that attracted people to the type rock and role music that hadn't broken the big band monopoly. And his music and songs live on long after he died the same as Michael's music. I doupt that many of the music that is at the top at the momet will still be played in 40 years time like Elvis and Michael's music was. Sadly they both had so much more to give and died before their time.
I liked Oasis music, couldn't stand the foul mouthed Gallaghers but I don't see them as having brought anything new to the table.”
Yeah so when people say MJ is rubbish and can't acknowledge a bit of his work, it just blows anything else out the water to what they may offer as an opinion.

How boring, seriously think of a new joke rather then abusing the space button

Yes so I won't agree
