Nirvana certainly but the Beatles? No Beatles, no Oasis. It's as simple as that. I know the Beatles have become 'cool' on the internet to diss as being nothing much, but let's face it, John & Paul were a genius songwriting team, most of the albums were masterpieces, they broke so many moulds it's amazing they still had shoulders, and the sonic experimentation and studio production techniques they used, for the time, were both innovative and amazing.

In fact, they inspired the dub reggae movement with regards to studio-as-instrument practices. Which in turn inspired a sickening amount of music, including a lot of post Punk. In fact, almost every band on the planet owes something either to the Beatles or Kraftwerk.

True fact.
