My other obsessions (bands I know I'll always love till the end of my days ) are R.E.M., Pink Floyd and Queen, in no particular order. I own all the albums, with a few expensive deluxe editions of some stuff. The funny thing is that I didn't really care about those bands before my 20s.

...I also collect Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics, but I guess this is a bit off topic!

To be honest, I like other artists, but I don't really "collect" any music except The Beatles.

Im the same. Have a few Buddy Holly Ep's but 99% is Beatles & solo Beatles. I dont do a lot now as in truth i cant be bothered tho i did get the second remastered anniversary Love Me Do single from last year. Im not sure why as its sitting in a cupboard and is never looked at - tho i am wiser than i was at one point and dont fall as easily for Apple's money extraction exploits. Im quite ...

I have a tiny record collect and besides The Beatles I have:

Ozzy Osbourne- Bark at the Moon
Kiss-Destroyer
Kiss-Dressed to Kill
The Who- Tommy (the soundtrack)
Fleetwood Mac- Rumors
Simon and Garfunkel- Sound of Silence
Ronnie James Dio- Dio

Non records: Autograph copy of the first Spider-man (reprint) issue by Stan Lee

Multiple copies (paperback, which I owned first for some, and hardback) of Harry Potter books including a British copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone". I'll probably re-buy them when the new covers come out too.

Multiple versions of all the Star Wars movie: VHS, dvd, and blu ray.

Thats all I can think of right ...

From Wikipedia:

Oasis

The Beatles' influence on 90s rock group Oasis has been noted by critics ("Beatles copyists") as well as the band members themselves; guitarist Noel Gallagher has stated "It's beyond an obsession. It's an ideal for living. I don't even know how to justify it to myself. With every song that I write, I compare it to The Beatles." Vocalist Liam Gallagher (whose vocal style imitates aspects of John Lennon's) named his first son Lennon.^[16] The two brothers shared the role of frontman, a concept made popular by The Beatles. The band has been known to perform live covers of ...

My big problem with Oasis wasn't the Beatles worship as much as the fact that the Gallaghers couldn't fucking SING.

Liam (period from 1994-2000) and Noel have great voice but it's all down to opinion. Liam lost his voice, but Noel's one is still good.

I always agreed with George's opinion on Oasis

"The band don't actually need him. Noel is really good. He writes the tunes and sings better than Liam as far as I am concerned.

"Oasis have written some good songs and I liked them when they appeared on MTV's Unplugged but that was mainly because the silly one wasn't there. I think it is proven when you see the band without him. They are more in tune."

It was always the case that they were better without Liam doing a bad impression of John when he sang Rain. Hate his voice.

Well actually it's homage as it's just intro, and the text in the same song "I'm gonna start revolution from my bed" is reference to Lennon.

I was thinking that. Not a big Oasis fan, but I don't understand this distinction between homage and ripoff.

There is sometimes a fine line between an homage and a rip off.

I didn't mind when the Beastie Boys sampled them.. but they did get in trouble for that.

^^ As a Tears for Fears fan, I can't say I have a problem with Beatle homages.

Be here now by Oasis was also released in that year, though not considered their best album, is actually not that bad. By the way, record sleeve was a bit damaged and thinking of returning it to Amazon :/.

I have a hard time liking Oasis.. Not only due to the fact that I just don't think they're a good band, but more to the fact that they rip off/compare themselves to/try to be The Beatles. And I can't count how many times I've been at work, heard "Don't Look Back In Anger" come on the radio, and it tricks ...

OK Computer topped off the last best year of excellent music. 1997 was a crest of a massive musical wave. I can cite examples, if necessary.
