Here Today... Gone To Hell!

ok on november 20th 2006 in the uk westlife, oasis, the beatles and u2 all released albums. westlife are leading the way with oasis a close second. the british press have turned this into a huge pop vs rock, oasis vs westlife thing and the sun newspaper are urging everyone to buy oasis' greatest hits before sunday !

oasis lead early on = http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2006540276,00.html

westlife takeover = http://www.startrip.tv/2006/11/its_oasis_v_wes.html

funny as **** = http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2006540445,00.html elton john gets involved

"He?s an absolute tosser and he looks like Parker from Thunderbirds."

HAHAHAHAHA :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


A side note - U2 aren't doing too well in comparison are they?

Gary told me: ?I just don?t get the whole Westlife thing. I don?t understand who would go out and buy their records.

?I haven?t got it and I won?t be buying it, but I have got the Oasis album. I?m definitely backing Oasis over them ? I thought Oasis would storm it to No1 with their best of.

and to think if chinese democracy came out on the 21st in the us and the 20th in the uk it would have been involved in this battle and sadly coming 5th  : ok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogxt4sCJ_ms

one thing thats really fucked up about this is when you look at the UK's major retailers and where the albums are ranking you see oasis are destroying westlife.

oasis current ranks:
i-tunes - #2
hmv - #1
amazon - #5
play.com - #1
tesco - #1
sainsburys - #1
asda - #4

westlife current ranks:
i-tunes #18
hmv - #6
amazon - #10
play.com - #4
tesco - #5
sainsburys - #3
asda - #9

so how are westlife winning then ?

thats what i'd like to know.

on the sales of albums according to the sun newspaper oasis are 15,000 behind as of midnight last night.

Wow a lousy Oasis best of vs a lousy westlife album vs the 3rd U2 best of in 6 years - ho-rah ::)

Yep the Oasis best of is really lousy.  14 of the 18 songs are from the DM, WTSMG years (although you claimed in the other thread that "The newer albums featured so heavily on it", which I have no idea where you got that from and it makes me question your opinion) and it comes with a free EP with an unreleased demo and an unreleased live version of Some Might Say.  That is horrible.  I paid $9.99 for mine and I feel so ripped off!!! 

ACTUALLY, getting 3 CD's for 10 dollars is one great fucking deal, especially from a great band.  AND all of the songs are remastered and the older tracks sound MUCH, MUCH better than they ever have.  But you're right, it's pretty lousy.  At least one person seems to think so...

calm down dear, would you like this seat?

Its a best of done to end a record deal with a most curious song selection - 'talk tonight' over 'whatever'? - you paid 9.99 for stuff you already had? Well, cool, great...i guess.

I'm going to let you in on a littls secret - get a cd-r, copy the songs and voila, you have the Oasis best of for free :D Better yet, sort out a playlist on your ipod and make your own best of - wow, what possibilities, what a time to be alive!

Izzy you really don't have to tell me to calm down because I wasn't anything but calm in my last post.  I'm not mad about what you said at all.  Actually I didn't pay 9.99 for stuff I already had, I didn't have the Cigs and Alcohol demo and the Some Might Say live version, although that is probably on one of my hundreds of Oasis bootlegs.

I bought it for one of the same reasons I bought the GN'R greatest hits, in hope that the songs would be a little remastered and sound a lot better.  GN'R's GH as we all know was a let down in all areas and the tracks weren't touched hardly at all.  But this Oasis album sounds really great and it has some of my favorite songs ever.  It was worth the money TO ME to get this album and have songs that I love that sound even better on my car stereo.  I spend a lot of time everyday driving to and from work so most of my music listening occurs in my car and for 10 dollars it's worth it to me.

Having 'Talk Tonight' over 'Whatever' as you said... doesn't really bother me.  I like Noel and I don't dislike the songs he sings as you do.  Sometimes I think he does songs better than Liam could ever do and again, that's just an opinion.  So not getting the studio version of 'Whatever' doesn't really bother me too much, especially considering the studio version is one of my least favorite versions of that song.

AND FINALLY, I don't have an ipod and I did download the album previously to buying it but the tracks were mp3's and being as big of an Oasis fan as I am, buying the album for 10 dollars and getting the free EP seemed very reasonable.  I went to the store and HONESTLY wasn't really planning on buying it, thinking it would probably be around 17 or 18 bucks for a double disc, but saw it for 9.99 and the rest is history.  I went to Best Buy planning on buying another album which they didn't have and left with Stop the Clocks.  I was happy with my purchase and still am and can say in all seriousness, THAT THIS IS NOT A LOUSY ALBUM FOR THE PRICE THAT I PAID.  If it was 18 dollars as I said, I would have lived with the download and been fine with that.

how can a washed out, unimportent shitty pop band even do well in the charts against anything!

Err... which one are you talking about, Oasis or Westlife?

westlife of course!

oasis are indie

im in shock westlife beat them so badly

ok this is going to sound like a real american question....who the fuck is westlife?

do yourself a favour and dont find out.

westlife are an irish boyband that keep hanging around entertaining board housewife's and people with no musical taste.

:rofl:

Fucking hilarious.? Did Westlife really win??

:rofl: Quality! :rofl:

I don't care about the pop/rock battle, I already know which is better.? I'm just deliriously happy that Oasis lost! : ok:



Damon: 9
Liam: 1

dick  :-X

Definition of Delirious:  Marked by uncontrolled excitement or emotion...

If you really got that excited (deliriously happy) about Oasis not getting the top spot on a fucking albums chart, I'm sorry but you need a life and need to get out more. 

Whatever.? Just cause The Sun want everyone to think it's a rock/pop showdown doesn't mean i'm gonna buy into it. ?I bet some people actually brought the Oasis album to support the cause - what a joke! ?As has been said before, there's fuck all point in buying a best of album if you have their albums already (and if you like Oasis you really should have them by now). ?I think Oasis were decent in their day but are massively overhyped and seriously lacking in substance - they're not close to being the best band around these days, in fact they're a long way off the top ten. ?Why the hell should they represent rock music?


You need to stop taking things so literally. ::)

I'm with Mr Top Hat on this one.  The Sun is a worthless piece of shit excuse for a newspaper.  And Oasis are only the epitome of rock to the sort of people who the Sun is designed for, which imo is chav men/women who live in adidas bottoms, have 'MAde IN England' tattoos and can't form an opinion for themselves.

Ummmmm... take your own advice on that one.  Just a bit of sarcasm, nothing personal...

whats this thread about-  i dont want to read any of it?  was there a fight or something,  i could be wrong-  but theres 4 people in oasis, and like 5 in westlife so right there thats an unfair fight,  plus liam could turn on his brother and turn this into a 6 on 3 fight... i think there should be a couple weapons involved too- maybe 2 or 3 knives or bats scattered around NO ONE CAN START WITH A WEAPON- thats important.   what do you think

i think you dont know how many people are in oasis or in westile.

So why even ask about it??  If it doesn't interest you enough to read ANY OF IT, then don't ask any questions. 

It's pathetic that you couldn't even read the first post of this thread which would have told you everything you wanted to know.  You had time to sit and write a few sentences that don't make any sense at all but couldn't read the first fucking post in this thread?? P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C.  Do mommy and daddy wipe your ass for you when you shit too??

Yeah, I agree Oasis doesn't represent rock nowadays, and you dont even wanna get me started regarding the Sun... but.... if I have to choose between Oasis and Westlife... well...

this dude is a total hater-  i bet you only wish you could tell off your parents or your teachers in the same burning way,  and if lennon is god then how come he aint bulletproof? yoko is god.

so who would win in a fight?

i read the sun so that makes me a chav who lives in my adidas trainers, but who also likes GNR, Oasis etc, CHAV ROCKER! (i've started a new trend) : ok:

Oasis are still one of the top British Rock bands.

they are not rock anymore.

You are all the rock this world needs mrlee.  You are my favorite rocker ever!!!  You should give Oasis some tips on how to make rock music since they are apparently "not rock anymore." 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!  You're always good for a laugh.

You obviously hate intelligence and common sense.  Me, I hate pathetic and lazy people... so that pretty much sums you up.

I listen to this.

or even this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Exj_OP0Ns

and then go listen to this

^that song sounds like every other lame indie band, only difference is it has liams great voice over it, then again his voice doesnt sound like that live anymore. Hes obviously damaged it or its worn with age.

And if your going into the whole "rock n roll isnt just about the music mannn" thing, when was the last time they did anything "rock n roll" quite a while ago, the last thing i saw which hit headlines was liam fighting mafia people in a resturant, and thats years old.

DUDE, OASIS AREN'T AN INDIE BAND MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT:  But yes I do agree that Liams voice has had quite a dramatic change over the years.  I don't think it's really damaged or word though because he can still sound like he used to when he wants.  It's just the way he sings now and some people love it and some don't. 

Oh and Liam actually had another barfight this year.  If you didn't hear he got in a fight with some guy and then got the fire extinguisher and sprayed the guy with it.  That's pretty fucking rock n' roll...  He's always still getting into crazy shit all the time but if you don't pay attention to Oasis new then you wouldn't know that.  Obviously that is something you don't pay attention to so you shouldn't make an opinion on something you aren't 100% familiar with. 

ok i can dig that point. But i wouldnt say there music is rock anymore (in reference to the most recent album)

Mrlee we have had our differences and I've put them behind me.  I'm going to get along with you no matter what because I can, but have you heard the last album??  Importance of Being IDle isn't a rock song??  "I begged my dr. for one more line..."  "I lost my faith in the summertime..."  Come on bud???  Check out the album... amazing piece of rock n' roll.

i did check it out man, when it came out lol. I was anticipating it having heard lyla which musically sounds a bit more like what i expect from them, rest of the album just seemed lame to me.

i have no problem with you, and i have no problem with you disagreeing with me, aslong as you do not insult me im not bothered.

oasis arent that great, they HAD a couple good tunes a while ago (which i really enjoy),  whos not surprised a newer band that appeals to little girls is beating a band that appeals to hippies in record sales.   if gnr releases their album the same day as 50cent- guess who would win.
