Oasis / Beatles
I think itīs just annoying that
everything Oasis does is supposed to be
linked to the Beatles. But o.k, they have
intentionally included references to
many Beatles songs in their own songs.
Here I will list the obvious references that they have made but also
some VERY far away references that I have seen fans do on there websites.
If you have any please E- mail me.
