Oasis

Oasis formed in England in 1993.  The group is led by songwriter /guitarist/vocalist Noel Gallagher and little brother Liam on lead vocals.   Oasis had a rough, thuggish image, not unlike The Who and the Rolling Stones, but they mixed it with “Beatlesque” melodies and hooks, distinctly British lyrical themes and song structures similiar to The Kinks and The Jam   The group’s defiant sneer was only outdone by their cocksure arrogance and the Gallagher brothers’ frequent disdain for each other.  In between fisticuffs, they’ve managed to sell a few million albums.

For 100 Jack Nation points, what English city did Oasis form in?

Leave your answer under “comments” and I’ll e-mail you a bonus code if you’re right.

And now, a politically correct - Season’s Greetings! 

PS - BTW, nice response on the Coldplay blog, even with my spelling error!  I think my spellcheck was enjoying the holidays too. :)

Happy New Year!

Mike

    Manchester, but then again, I already answered that one.

    How about a trivia question about the band that performed the first concert at BMO Field. Of course I refer to Genesis
    Did you know that Phil Collins was not the original drummer for Genesis?
    Chris Stewart was the original drummer. After him was John Silver, then we had John Mayhew. Phil was actually the fourth drummer the band had
