In the 90's Oasis had some, albeit short lived, success in the States. Wonderwall and Champagne supernova were big radio hits, plus the second album 'whats the story' was one of the best selling albums of 95/96.
However, how popular I wonder are Oasis/ the Gallagher's today? Does their solo stuff receive any airplay or recognition at all? Are they ever ranked among the best bands of the 90's? what type of reputation do they now endure over in the States?

Oasis saw a massive rejuvenation in the US in 2005 with DBTT.
I think Oasis will always be known for both Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova in the US, but I also feel that they are much more respected than in any time in their history - mainly due to how well their 2005 revival was received.
I fully expect Oasis to be inducted in the Hall of Fame next year.

Every adult I know and mention oasis to have a vague remembrance of wonderwall. None of my teenager’s friends have heard of oasis or their solo work. I never hear them on the radio but I don’t listen to the radio much because it’s all garbage.
I think the American oasis fan is still a rare animal lol. It’s weird though because I think a lot of Noel’s solo stuff could have a very wide audience. How anyone could hear dead in the water and not be instantly addicted is beyond me. I guess they just never hear it in the first place. It’s a shame but I’m glad to have the opportunety to see them in small venues

To me you're and will always remain an American. It doesn't mean you're a British just because you have a British passport beside your American one. |

They are known for two things after their hey day 20 years ago. 1) Wonderwall 2) Fighting Wonderwall is by far their most famous song. It’s played often in bars and rock radio (if you can find it). Any young kid who gets his first guitar will learn that song eventually. I’ve seen several people in college at parties playing it on acoustic guitar. This was circa 2000-2004. Big time song. Nobody talks about the albums. It’s about the fighting and ego. |

From what I can tell, Oasis is known in the US primarily only for Wonderwall. There is certainly a large enough group of fans that enable Noel and Liam to tour here, but besides that they aren't that widely known.

I don't know if it's the most correct way to look at the popularity of a band in a country but it's still interesting nonetheless: on Google Trends, USA appears at #55 for Oasis researches in the last twelve months. Pretty far from most south american countries (Paraguay, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador are in the top 10) but also a fuckin' lot of european and asian countries. Shows the interest for Oasis in the States is pretty low compared to other countries. trends.google.fr/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F01s560x |

One of my supervisors at work is in his late fifties or so. I told him last month that I went to see Noel Gallagher and he smiled and said, "Oh, is he still around?" and I said yes. Then he said, "Does he still do that thing with the watermelons?"
Ugh.
He had no idea who Oasis were and didn't know Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova or anything else.
But, I still meet people my own age or people who care more about music that know about them and think they were pretty cool. Maybe that's a little different about southeast Michigan? I don't know. I think they have a stronger hold in Canada too.
But yeah, in the US in general it's mostly Wonderwall, fighting, and ripping off the Beatles that they're remembered for.

Because I watched Supersonic approximately last May or so, I started back listening to them and have become obsessed with Oasis and anything/everything related to the band... that being said, I don't know anybody else over here who likes them now- including the NG/LG solo stuff--
I've met a few people at the NG shows I went to several weeks ago and it was awesome to be around people I didn't have to explain backstory to. But particularly guys here where I live (in the South)- really, really don't like them... or at least the few that I have talked to about it. I hear about what jerks they were/are, the arrogance, thugs, etc. But I don't tend to like guys in the South either so....
There were plenty of people from my generation (GenX) at Noel's recent gigs who were super, super into it and it was just lovely being around them (well, except for one in Nashville). But I'm afraid we're in the minority here... which is a shame for the world at large but not for us that do get it and want to go to shows at the smaller venues. I don't think people really understand how big, how important they were- but you know, I've always been partial to music from the UK anyway so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe I just need to move--
And yeah, Wonderwall was huge over here- but it is one of my least favorite songs if for no other reason it got ran into the ground.... holy crap-- constant rotation--
If they get played at all on the radio, I have no idea. I think I stopped listening to the radio about 1998... just awful.

I know champagne supernova was a single here but for an European guy living in the us, it still feels weird that it is the second most popular song after wonderwall around here

Basically, Oasis has been searched less by percentage, but still probably got more total searches in the US than those countries combined. |

For example, 1% of America represents approximatively 3,2 millions of people while the same percentage for France represents 650 000 people. |
