Why does Oasis get so much coverage in the (UK) media?

You'd think they were the greatest band that the UK ever produced instead of being the very mediocre talent they were. Is it because they were a couple of foul mouthed yobbos who thought giving the finger was the height of wit? On my Google news there's an Oasis "news" item almost daily, like are the Gallagher brothers reuniting, like who cares?

Never seen so much hype over the most overrated band in history.

It was the new Beatles at the time

What about U2?

 

 

During a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, Bono asked the audience for total quiet.

Then in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands. Once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

From the front of the crowd, a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet: "Well f#ckin' stop doin' it then ya evil b#stard!"

They had their moment.  This grab for cash is fairly pathetic.

With you on this. In the Blur Oasis hype in the 90's I thought there was one interesting innovative band being Blur and one so so band with tepid pop being Oasis. Talking Britpop give me Blur, Pulp, and Supergrass thanks.
