When Oasis became the biggest band in Britain, the focus of indie music shifted away from experimentation, towards the vast commercial success that the Gallaghers had proved was attainable. There was a sense in which "alternative" bands ceased doing what they wanted to do, and started doing what they thought people would like them to. What had once been a sort of musical home for misfits became curiously uniform, with a rigid sound, set of influences and dress code. It all became hopelessly dull. full article : www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,975810,00.html

Yeah they moan at the Oasis album was too normal but the new Radiohead album was too experimental! Makes no sence.

I guess anything that's not pop related automatically gets downgraded!
