Oasis before a concert at Knebworth Park, UK, in 1995. PA

Poll: Do you like Oasis?

It’s Liam Gallagher’s 50th birthday today.

OASIS FRONTMAN LIAM Gallagher turns 50 today. Some might say, that’s a good enough reason to ask if you like the Manchester band?

Despite Oasis first reaching mega stardom nearly 30 years ago, Gallagher remains one of the most compelling figures in the UK’s music industry.

As recently as August he sold out a concert at the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham.

Gallagher announced last week that he was off alcohol until he reached the milestone birthday. So, perhaps a champagne supernova is on the cards for the swaggering Mancunian today.

In honour of Liam turning 50, today we’re asking: Do you like Oasis?


Poll Results:

Yes (7658)
No (3129)
I'm not sure/ I've no opinion (1033)
I prefer Blur (1016)

    Loved them. First 3 albums were great. Saw them in cork in 96 and they were brilliant. Saw them in Dublin in 2000 and the spark was gone a bit already at that stage

    Love them or hate them no other band has made the impact they did in a long time. I saw them first in Boston in 95, they were big here but not there so small enough gig (For them at least) Savage song writing skills. Great band in my book.
