Oasis

Despite knowing that many people can't stand them and that the Gallaghers are globally seen as two assholes (which I adore purely for the definitions given to Blur), nevertheless "definitely maybe," "what's the story..," and especially "the masterplan," are absolutely brilliant albums, and you can't dismiss a "slide away" or "some might say" as if they were crap, so from my side, a lot of respect. What came after is forgettable apart from a few tracks (I also save the first part of "standing on the shoulder of giants" from 2000).
