Well, I can't explain my choice at all. Oasis are truly a bunch of assholes, and yet I voted for them. Morning Glory is a great album, but the rest of their catalogue does nothing for me, and yet I voted for them. Don't ask! I have no idea!

My friend Sam and I used to do a Gallagher brothers impression where we would claim that all of our songs were the best f***ing songs in the world, then argue over who wrote what, then make up by agreeing that we had secretly written all of the other good songs in the world too. All in horribly slurred dialect, of course.

This a good one. I picked the Chili Peppers.

Oasis

....Wonderwall
......Don't Look Back in Anger
...........Champagne Supernova

I went with the Crowes, but Oasis is a great band, too. I just love the Robinson brothers a bit more.

The brothers Robinson all the way! They are one of the last great rock and roll bands complete with freaky/deaky front man, drug problems, arrests, a fat guitar sound, scattered soulful backup singers and a funky Hammond B3. Wiser Time actually features an organ solo.

The band's Amorica album cover was banned for showing pubic hair. Rick Rubin produced their first album. They toured with Jimmy Page. I love, love, love The Black Crowes!

This one was easy for me.

I love Wonderwall so I went with Oasis. Don't care for RHCP or Black Crowes really.

Manchester's second greatest

Black Crowes. Driving rock is my ultimate fix. I like Blur more than Oasis and and Mothers' Finest is the perfect hardrocking funk imo. Peppers are good, but I still think theyre very ecclectic, also in the feel of the music. So Crowes it is because of the fact that I think they're the most authentic of these three. Nice round.
