Comment:

Oasis pulled off the canny trick of sounding unique and familiar at the same time, trailing one foot in five decades of English musical heritage while kicking the other toward the future. British Invasion superstars The Kinks feature a pair of oft-feuding brothers (sound familiar?), and younger sib Dave Davies carves up his amp's speaker to sear our brains with fuzz-tone's first-ever squawk, in "You Really Got Me." The Sex Pistols' punk battle cry "Pretty Vacant," shot through with John Lydon's ice-dagger sneer and stretched-out syllables, sets the template for Liam Gallagher's vocal stylings. Brother Noel singles out the flash-flooded guitar intro on the reverb-drenched "How Soon Is Now?" from fellow Manchester heroes The Smiths as the object of his undying admiration. Not only that — he so admired both Ride and The La's that members from both bands eventually ended up in Oasis (and, now, Beady Eye). And we haven't even mentioned The Rolling Stones, T. Rex, David Bowie, The Jam . . .
