English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991, led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. Central figures of 1990s Britpop with landmark albums Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995). The group split in 2009.

Noel Gallagher is widely credited as the principal songwriter; Liam Gallagher was the band's primary frontman. Reviews frequently compare Oasis to the Beatles and note major live events (the band played large-scale shows such as Knebworth).

Reviews on DeBaser show a strong split: early albums (Definitely Maybe, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?) are widely praised; later records and some live performances draw criticism. Recurring themes: Beatles comparisons, Noel as chief songwriter, Liam as charismatic frontman, and a polarising public image.

For:Fans of Britpop and 90s rock; listeners exploring Oasis' albums

 their music is mostly banal and simplistic.
