4. Oasis
It seems like yearly — or each time Liam or Noel Gallagher launch a brand new solo tune — individuals say that Oasis must reunite. The band broke up in 2009, and the following feuds between the Gallagher brothers have been intense.

Title Fight are sorely missed by our readers. Throughout their time collectively, the Kingston, Pennsylvania outfit proved they might grasp a number of completely different types, as they began as a band indebted to hardcore and steadily shifted towards the realms of shoegaze and indie rock. On their much-loved second album, Floral Green, they heralded emo’s transition into softer, extra reverb-driven territory that we’d hear in later years, like on Turnover’s Peripheral Vision, and it’d be depraved to see them lively once more.
