Oasis

[Falcon]

Yknow its funny you revived this thread as i had Definately Maybe on yesterday, first time in ages. What a classic album.

That's been back in my rotation for a while now, fookin' classic is right.

[Is he struggling?]

I listened to 'Standing on the Shoulder of Giants' for the first time in years toady, and Was reminded of what a great album it is (even though it seems to get a bad rap from the press and even from Noel). Yes, there are a couple of weak tracks, and some really slapdash lyrics, but 'where did it all go wrong' and 'sunday morning call' are really touching, 'I can see a liar' and 'go let it out' are fun, and 'gas panic' is just greatness. I really like the way that the little psychedlic production touches give the album a consistent atmostphere.

ive always really liked SOTSOG

Fuck the critics, its a great album.

Noel hates Be Here Now also, which i also love.

TBH for me, Oasis started putting out bad material after Heathen Chemistry.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

Yeah, SOTSOG has some good stuff on it. Personal favs of mine are Where Did It All Go Wrong?, Go Let It Out and Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is.

For me, if I put their albums in order of favourite to least favourite, it would basically be in chronological order. Might swap SOTSOG with ...Chemistry. Still undecided about the last two....

Downloaded Whatever from iTunes off the new compilation the other day. Only ever heard it once or twice and it's a cool song.

Yeah that song holds alot of memories. I remember my dad playing that song on surround sound in our living room when i was like, 8 or something. Very young either way.

Oasis was the soundtrack to many holidays down Cornwall over the course of my childhood. Always happy memories when Oasis comes on.

Beady Eye....live it, learn it love it.  New record out Feb 28th, essentially it is Oasis minus Noel.

I'm sure i'll buy the album, though what I've heard so far obviously comes nowhere near to Oasis's heights. Liam sounds a little bit like he did on Don't Believe The Truth, which I still don't get all the praise for. It's one of their weakest overall albums IMO, ...Shoulder Of Giants and Heathen Chemistry are better I think.

[Koskenkorvasieni]

Even though I'm something of a diehard metalhead, I've always liked Oasis. I think the first two albums were their best ones , but the later ones have a few good songs too. Funnily enough, whereas the best songs on the early albums were written by Noel, the two songs that to me stand out the most from their latter career are both Liam tunes, Songbird and I'm Outta Time.

It's also pretty amazing how many similarities there are between the careers of GNR and Oasis, not musically speaking though. Both bands first album(s) were instant hits and propelled them to superstardom, both bands have an unpredictable and volatile lead vocalist, both bands third album went way over the top (UYI vs AFD, BHN vs DM) and both bands have replaced almost all of their original members.

Too bad Oasis broke up, Beady Eye obviously has very big shoes to fill. We'll see what happens...

i really enjoyed the Beady Eye album. Four Letter Word is a great great album opener, and i really dig songs like The Roller, and The Beat Goes On as well....im seeing them at the Metro here in Chicago. its a smaller venue. Oasis played there in 94 so its been quite a long time since Liam's been in this smaller venue should be a great show, from youtube vid's Liam actually has a good voice live again. i plan on showing up to the venue really early, hopefully i get to meet Liam! and since its all GA i will definately be front row!

New song by Liam. I think it sounds so damn catchy, been rocking out to it the past few days. Thoughts?

I really like it as well.  Way better than anything with Beady Eye.

[Bodhi]

It really is great, Liam seems to have found his way here.  Beady Eye had some good  stuff, but this is even better.  He really is just a great frontman.  I happy to see we are getting a proper solo record from him before the seemingly inevitable Oasis reunion.

I don't think "inevitable" is the word

Liam always takes digs at Noel, it's been like that forever. I don't see that being a hinderance to any future reunion. It will eventually happen.

Btw, Gem is going to be joining Noel for the shows opening for U2 later this year.
