I don’t think anyone obcess over their musical skills, because they’re quite mediocre, but rather because they managed to pull a 10/10 album despite of being ordinary blokes with guitars.
Their second album “(what’s the story) morning glory?” is a true masterpiece and should be on a top 100 of all albums of all times.
It was refreshingly unpretentious at the time. Ironically the success turned them into pretentious idiots who never managed to follow up.
I wonder how they even got into music to begin with, because it seems like a bunch of hooligans just went into a music studio and got it right on the first take.
