Jake2 Report post Posted June 26, 2011 Who do you think? It could be a single person, or an entire band. I honestly think The Beatles, I don't like their music but you can't really deny how pretty much every rock band will tell you they have influence from them.

The age gap between Oasis and The Beatles is about the same as Oasis and current bands. Oasis were heavily influenced by The Beatles. From The Killers Wikipedia: Formation (2001–2002) After seeing Oasis play at the Hard Rock Hotel, Flowers decided he wanted to be in a rock band and began searching for a guitar player, Edited June 26, 2011 by Harry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 0

I'll most likely agree that they're a huge influence, but not just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 0
