I ran across one of those performances without planning to yesterday, when I was looking at covers of Champagne Supernova. Although that's my favorite Oasis song, I still don't like Ian's singing. I have never liked Ian's singing, and that's the reason I've never been a huge Oasis fan. Liam is often compared to John Lennon, but I was never a fan of John's singing, either (I loved Paul's voice).
