Nope. Oasis is the Oasis of our generation.

No. After their debut, they got increasingly unpopular to the point that it basically forced them to either change their sound drastically or split. So they changed their sound and they bounced back into popularity.
Oasis were always relevant, even when they had their lowest sales, even when they lost a lot of popularity, they were still selling millions of albums. People still liked them.

In England perhaps but here they lost popularity after Morning Glory. Arctic Monkeys weren't really popular here until AM was released. Not that it matters, this country's taste sucks. |

I would say in England they are close to if not already being it, having all their albums go to number 1 on the UK charts and headlined Glastonbury twice. The first time they headlined was about the same time Oasis did in their career (in the year of their second album).

With respect to quality they are quite obviously not.
With respect to popularity there is a stronger argument but I'd still say they are not. Morning Glory was one of the most popular albums in the UK of all time and it had mass appeal, not just college students and young people. At the time of its release BHN was the fastest selling album of all time in the UK. Oasis completely changed the musical landscape in the UK in a way the Arctic Monkeys simply have not and probably never will do.

Much worse bands have managed both. |

I like both bands just think some people here may not be giving AM enough credit lol. |

Unfortunately (especially after the glory years of oasis) we dont have any Oasis or Nirvana (to be fair)for the next generations to follow them. The Libertines lasted for a too short period, The Strokes lasted for only 2 albums, Coldplay could take that place but failed miserably after X&U album...Radiohead were the best band of all but their music was hard to reach the masses in the way oasis did only Arctic Monkeys come close (but from a a very big distance) cause even if they have the sales, quality, connection with the everyday people and respect for all of their albums they somehow cannot reach that "X Factor" that turnes a great band to something life-cultural changing.I suppose that we live in total different circumstances that make it harder for a band to achieve that level (oasis or Nirvna reached). Probably i am now too old to understand new generations and their bands.Probably Maroon 5 or some shit like this have that place, but i still know that an article about Liam and a dog, about a possible Oasis reunion or an oasis reelated fart or something like this, can still cause more feelings of love and hate than all those bands together!  |

not even close. as others have said, oasis had something special. arctic monkeys are alright, but theyre nowhere near as consistently awesome (both live and in the studio) as oasis. personally, i cant understand how its not universally agreed that oasis are the greatest band of our generation...

I like them a lot for a mainstream group but no, they aren't and will not be Oasis (of this generation or the next).

No where near close... They were the oasis of 2004, and i take my hats off to them for that...
No one since the Beatles has given the Uk the awakening that oasis did from 94-96.
I hope it happens again. It needs to. Someone needs to take the torch from them. Otherwise one direction will be the next band in the uk music hall of fame next to Elton, the Beatles and stones.
And we wouldn't want that would we.

Melody wise, Alex Turner doesn't measure up to Noel Gallagher, not even close. But lyric wise, he's a head and shoulders above Noel and pretty much every other lyricist of the past 20 years. Vocally, both Liam and Noel are probably more dynamic than Alex Turner or any of his bandmates. Instrumentally, the Arctic Monekys are clearly more talented. So we'll call it a tie.  |

It's not a tie. I like AM, but they'll never write Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back in Anger, Rock N Roll Star or The Masterplan. Turner is a better lyricist and they are better musicians. That's it.

Well, apart from I bet you look good on the dancefloor their biggest song is "Do I Wanna Know?". It sold 1 million copies in the States, if i'm not mistaken. Whatever people say i'm that's what i'm not is a classic album, at least in the UK, and i love it. But they are not Oasis, Alex Turner can't write Champagne Supernova or DLBIA and Liam is a better frontman. |

Do I Wanna Know is an awesome song though. |
