Brief introduction of oasis band

1In August, 994, the band's official album "Definitely Possible" was finally released in yet we called and urged a thousand times before she started toward us. Once released, the album topped the domestic record charts at an incredible speed and became the fastest-selling debut album in British history. It has also achieved great success abroad. First, it achieved five platinum sales in the United States, and then reached the top ten in Europe and Asia. This is indeed a gratifying record. The whole album is recorded completely and orderly, but the noisy music has a strong pop tension. After listening to the dull metal and the crazy chaos of punk, fans found an oasis like walkers in the desert, and soon fell in love with this music that sounded more like revival and modern Beatles. Sometimes gentle, sometimes euphemistic, sometimes violent melody also makes Oasis have more and more fans. Among the best British pop albums in the 1990s selected by most music magazines, "Definitely Possible" is also very popular and a household name. 1995, after changing the band members, Oasis released some possible words and rolled with them, and released the second album "Glory in the Morning" (what's the story? ) morning glory), and then set off a more violent "oasis" boom. As the fastest-selling album after Michael Jackson's Awesome, Glory Like Morning Light won more flowers and applause for Oasis. For a time, whether in Britain, the United States, Europe or Asia, for those who love or pay attention to rock music, oasis has undoubtedly become the most beautiful scenery that can not be ignored. The success rate of oasis really amazed and envied the whole world. Faced with these impressive achievements, people who have doubts will inevitably ask: Where is the victory of Oasis? Why can they realize their dreams that many rock bands have never realized in such a short time? The answer can be found in Oasis's thank-you speech written on the cover of the album-we must thank the Beatles, Sex Pistol and Smeagol, who will always make people want to stay. That's true. Oasis Band, as the most representative band in the British pop trend in the 1990s, was influenced by many classic rock bands in the 1960s and 1970s in the process of music creation, which was deeply reflected in the core of each band's works and even known as the rebirth of the rock spirit in the 1990s. On the other hand, the growing environment of several young people who make up the oasis as a whole (almost all the band members with Neuer and Liam as the core grew up in the middle and late 1980s) endows their music with a more modern, alternative and experimental external form, which adds a lot of experimental color to their strong retro style. That kind of ironic humorous words combined with tense music arrangement is the perfect combination of classic traditional spirit and fashionable modern skills. It can not only please traditional fans who are obsessed with old-fashioned rock, but also provide a best model for Generation X who likes to experience the unique fashion tone of the new britpop. The oasis built on this basis naturally has the strength to win the greatest success in the shortest time and become a unique upstart and darling of that era. This success is not only reflected in the fans' crazy pursuit and worship of Oasis and its works, but also includes the affirmation and praise of the band by various media and experts. As early as 1994, that is, the first year of Oasis's debut, the band won the best new group, best band, best single and other important awards at the Brat Music Awards ceremony held by NME magazine with its album Absolute Possibility and a series of best-selling singles, and won the best newcomer award at the Brit Awards, which symbolized the highest honor in the British music industry in the same year. Then in 1995, he won the best band and the best single award by NME magazine again, and also won the best album and the best live performance group. At the brit awards in 1996, Oasis won several super prizes, such as best orchestra, best album and best music video, for its album Glory Like Morning Light, and at the end of that year, it won the best orchestra and best single of MTV Europe. However, all this is far from over. If we say that the best-selling albums and those awards, big and small, are just hidden flowers, don't take them too seriously. Then, will Oasis become the biggest bubble blown out by emotions at the end of the century? You shouldn't think so, if you really listen to oasis music. The famous music magazine Q once voted for a series of the most influential musicians in the 20th century. John Lennon and paul mccartney of the Beatles ranked 1 and 2 respectively, while kurt cobain, the soul of nirvana, ranked third, while the Gallagher brothers of Oasis band were able to enter the top 10 at the same time (Neuer ranked eighth and Liam ranked ninth), and they were ahead of stapp, the core figure of another high-end band, not to mention far ahead. Although Paul McCartney, when asked why Oasis is so similar to the Beatles, publicly said something like "They are imitating what we did 30 years ago", Neuer didn't take it seriously: "No one can deny that we are indeed the most successful band in British history." At the same time, he also got back at paul mccartney. "Even if we are not the best rock band in the world, at least we will be as great as the Beatles, but they were born before us." These words of Neuer are not irresponsible and arrogant, because they are indeed the most successful and infectious band since rock music. 1In August, 997, Oasis released their third album "Be Here Now", and its music core is obviously more inclined and close to the essence of rock music. The heavier guitar and bass, as well as Liam's more explosive new interpretation, make people see a rock spirit full of passion and strength in the popular melody. The famous champion single "You know what I mean" reminds us of the great band Pink Floyd or the great dead in 1970s. This is also a fascination with sound effects, but oasis is more modern and exquisite. Three days before its release, the album sold 750,000 records made for the first time, easily breaking the record of British record sales (while the previous album Glory Like Morning Light also sold 6.5438+0.2 million copies). At the end of 654.38+0.998, as Oasis's last gift to fans at the end of the 20th century, the album The Master Plan (B-Sides) almost included. In the last decade of the 20th century, Oasis Band, as the most popular band in Britain and even in the world, has been in people's sight. Through their own efforts and strength, they have completed the writing of the last myth in the field of music art in the 20th century. However, as a band that has always adhered to the BRIT-POP route, oasis's success is also their weakest point, that is, a stubborn persistence similar to sticking to the rules or not striving for progress. As an emerging force in britpop, Stain has started to manage his new album with pure LO-FI style, and the electronic products of radio fans are becoming more and more mature, while goatskin is also looking for new breakthroughs in creation. With the arrival of the new century, almost all bands and musicians are trying possible changes, but what about the oasis? They continued to write the best-selling songs with beautiful melody and destined to be popular, and continued to write their own myths. Perhaps this can be regarded as a valuable persistence in the last few years of the last century, but the question is, will the last stroke of this myth be so perfect in the choice of 2 1 century? The fifth album released by the band in February 2000, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, is the answer. Although it topped the charts as soon as it went on the market, hopeful fans and critics soon found it difficult to find a creative new music element in this album. When mechanical creation replaces passionate creation, all that remains is gentle melody and far-fetched mediocre technology. Those skilled instrumental performances, accompanied by Liam's dull voice, used to be light and carefree, but now he is inexplicably exhausted, which makes people even more unbelievable that this is the oasis band that once brought countless surprises and creativity to the world music scene. As a music critic said, "If they can finish the album creatively as they did a few years ago, maybe they can really stand on the shoulders of giants. "Who can stand on the shoulders of giants? Perhaps the oasis that suffered this setback really began to think about this problem. After releasing a live album familiar to millions of people in 2000, they finally chose silence and created and accumulated again. This is obviously a long waiting process for fans who still support and are keen on Oasis all over the world. But this kind of waiting finally ushered in a good result. When Oasis band came back with their latest album "pagan chemistry", the fans finally found the feeling of a few years ago. The inspiration and creativity that flashed everywhere in the album not only had the shadow of the oasis in the "Absolute Possibility" era, but also made people see the ambition of Fuxing Band to try with richer musical elements and more diverse genres. " In the last few years of the last century, we did create a great myth, but it was not satisfactory. We will continue to climb, and we will create greater myths in this century. "In the face of television cameras, Neuer is still full of confidence. He pouted habitually and blurted out this sentence without thinking. Perhaps, for those of us who like oases, it is enough to remember the BRITPOP myth created by oases in the last decade of the 20th century!
