How The Mighty Have Fallen

[Raven Soul]

Ok, so Oasis use to be the new Beatles a couple of years back. They thought there shit didn't stick, when the only had one good song, "D'you Know What I Mean". So this is why this is so funny:

<blockquote>LONDON (AFP) - Oasis, who set the soundtrack of the "cool Britannia" era in the 1990s, have been voted worst band of the festival season in Britain after their lacklustre performance at Glastonbury.

Forty-two percent of the 10,000 festival fans who took part in an online poll for the New Musical Express (NME) newspaper deemed the Manchester band to be worst they heard at the past summer's many rock and pop fetes.


In second place were glam revivalists The Darkness with 26 percent, followed by The Strokes at 17 percent and The Libertines at 15 percent.


Oasis, known for such hits as "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger," were so dismal at Glastonbury, Europe's biggest outdoor festival, that even organiser Michael Eavis conceded he was "a bit disappointed."


Despite the Libertines' poor rating in the NME poll, band member Carl Barat was named Hero Of The Summer for soldiering on to the T in the Park and Carling Weekend festivals despite troubled frontman Pete Doherty leaving the group.


Glastonbury topped the poll as best value for money with almost three-quarters of festival fans saying the 115 pound (170 euro, 205 dollar) ticket price for the three-day, multi-stage event in June was worth it.

I like Oasis. Never heard of the others.

But, I've spent enough time around musicians to know that what sounds great mixed often sounds like crap live.

Its a bit unfair whilst Oasis have undoubtly only made one album of any note and liam getting his teeth kicked in by the mafia was event of the year
. They are a superb live act.
The problem is Glastonbury, its a huge natural ampitherte and Guitar based bands going on at night (which all of the bands you mentioned are and did) just cant get a decent sound.
I saw Oasis in 95 at Glasto and the sound sucked as did Page and plant, Stone roses. Wheras the Synth based bands The Cure, Prodigy and Pulp were fantastic
I have also seen Oasis at a small indoors venue and they were brilliant.
Acoustic engineer anyone?
