    Remember when they called Oasis “the next Beatles?” Turns out that one guy vaguely resembled John Lennon when wearing those little circle glasses but that’s as close as they could get.

        Most of their songs are Beatle-esque or have Beatle Easter eggs in the lyrics. Noel Gallagher was/is extremely vocal about being a Beatles fan and saying where he stole parts of Beatles songs/lyrics for his songs.

          There was a disparaging scene about them in the Yesterday movie about the Beatles disappearing from existence with only one person remembering them,

          The main character Googled for traces of the Beatles and was shocked to find there were none

          Then when he googled Oasis and found nothing he was like “huh. Makes sense”

      Maybe their legacy is felt a bit more in the UK where “Post Brit-Pop” is the term used to describe music clearly inspired by Oasis.

      But they definitely have inspired a generation of musicians that the Beatles have.
