There's a bunch of Oasis numbers from when they got really bloated and pompous, third album onwards I think, any of them would do, "Don't look back in Anger" probably the worst, though "wonderwall" is pretty dreadful too. A bunch of unmemorable neo-progressive bands who combine sappy sub-elton john "songwriting" (IE nowhere near as good as Elton himself, who could write a catchy tune) with terribly unimaginative use of mellotron as a "progressive" stylistic signifier (the thing isn't a substitute organ, dumbass, it's an impact instrument! Use sparingly). Spock's Beard probably the apotheosis of this, especially their earlier stuff where they were a bit plagiaristic in the songwriting/arrangement stakes to boot. I used to play in a covers band where the drummer and the singer were big SB fans, no laffs to be had there for sure.
