31 h. ago Oasis and Black Sabbath are filling stadiums. But where’s the next wave of working

Ageing music legends are thriving, but we are making it too hard for young talent to break throughBritain, this summer at least, is going ballistic for the biggest bands from back in the day. The jubilance for the coming-back-together of Oasis and Black Sabbath is understandable. These acts are legends born from Britain’s working class.The reunion of Noel and Liam Gallagher has caused most excitement. Ever since the Britpop brothers announced themselves with their 1994 debut Definitely Maybe, their anthemic sounds have become part of the UK music canon. Wonderwall is an unofficial national anthem of sorts, one belted out after rounds of beers. With the Manchester indie rockers’ first shows in 16 years, more than 1 million fans will feel justified in splashing out about £766 on average (tickets, travel, hotels) in a total projected to crest £1bn.Dan Cave is a freelance journalist and writer Continue reading...

7 d. ago ‘They made me feel I could do something with my life’: indie music legends pick their favourite Oasis songs

Devendra Banhart finds mysticism in Acquiesce, Snail Mail gets chills from Stand By Me and Johnny Marr chooses an absolute curveball as 17 musicians analyse the reunited band’s genius• Simon Armitage on why Oasis still enthrall usThere are a lot of similarities between us and Oasis: two brothers in the band, Creation Records, working-class kids, guitar band, etc. In the mid-90s, we couldn’t get arrested and had to watch their meteoric rise, but I couldn’t dislike the great music. Rock ’n’ Roll Star was on a compilation tape on the ill-fated US tour when we broke up. We’d had a punch-up on stage at the House of Blues in Los Angeles and back in my hotel room we were hanging around with a bunch of druggies.
