Oasis

[Acquiesce]

'Whatever' is a glaring omission from this 'best of'.? Not on any albums, not sure if the single's available still (I got it a few years ago so maybe).? That's probably the first Oasis song I got into.

Yeah, Whatever is still available. Someone stole my original copy so I had to buy a new one last year.? I agree that it is a glaring omission along with all of the BHN singles, especially DYKWIM. I don't understand why they didn't includethose songs because they certainly could have fit them on 2 discs.

Hilarious that the later albums feature so heavily, because lest face it 'songbird' is everyones fav Oasis track

What are you talking about? 14 of the 18 tracks are from the DM/WTSMG era.

the record company released this, not Oasis.? therefore im not buyin, Oasis really didnt want a greatest hits, dunno if some of you have or have not heard that story.? because they were at the end of their contract with their previous record deal.

That is true - but they were still able to choose the tracklisting.

At first they didn't want to release a greatest hits but now they are promoting the hell out of it. Noel has been making appearances everywhere and has done a bunch of solo acoustic shows, which I already have recordings of some and as always they are amazing.

If you're an Oasis fan go out and buy the album to support them.  You get the EP for free when you buy it at Best Buy and you can't beat that.

Support them?

U might as well have written - 'buy songs u already have to give them more money'

You get the EP for free if you buy it at Best Buy and you'll have better sounding tracks on this album then you did 10 or 12 years ago for DM and WTSMG.... to me that's worth it.  If it isn't to you then don't buy it.  People aren't going to buy it if they don't want to but my point was it doesn't make sense to not buy the album that you would otherwise buy, just because you think Oasis don't want it out.  I bought GN'R's greatest hits and I had all of those songs, so why is this different??  It's not and I get a free EP with a couple new versions of a few songs on it.

i think i'm the all-time number 1 fan of oasis...i've had books, imports, bootlegs, magazine cover collections, you name it.  at this point i am not planning to buy their new greatest hits, just cuz i'm not all that impressed with the track listing (like many fans).  but i do see the point of buying such a collection just to show support for your favorite unibrow brothers or whatever band you're really into.  it goes beyond giving them your $.  it's about showing you still appreciate them.

Well I guess I'm the number one fan of all-time now because I bought Stop the Clocks yesterday.  I paid $9.99 for it at Best Buy and got the EP for free.  10 dollars for 3 CD's is a great fucking deal and for that price I can't believe more people won't buy it. 

Oh and I was joking about the "Number one fan of all-time" shit.  I'm a big fan of this band and have been for over 10 years but to SERIOUSLY make a claim like that is really childish and rather silly.  THERE IS NO such thing as a number one fan as far as I'm concerned and that goes for any band.

[Jim]

I'm no Oasis fan. I mean, I like them.

But I'm no Oasis fan by virtue of the fact that I don't have enough albums.

Anyway. Noel's interview in this months Big Issue did make me laugh,

"Liam has two problems. Everything he fucking says, and everything he fucking does."

Mrlee if you're an Oasis fan I have a few shows Noel has done this month already with just him and Gem.  They are all acoustic if I remember correctly.  Because you are one of my best friends on here    PM me and I'll hook you up with a link.  I'm not being a dick or fucking with you either, I really will.  It's the season of giving and loving...

Classic sign of a band breaking up - the solo shows, the greatest hits, the run of ever worsening albums

Who bets we see a Noel Gallagher album out next year?

Probably as well if Oasis go their seperate way now, they lost what made them great

[Acquiesce]

I don't think they are breaking up. The greatest hits was a decision made by the record company. Noel didn't want to do it but only got behind it so the fans wouldn't suffer because it was coming whether he liked it or not.

[lennonisgod]

They aren't breaking up and won't for awhile.  We won't see a NG solo album for a long time yet.  The last album was well received and loved by a lot of people and I thought was great.  So I don't understand how they have "lost" anything??  Just because Izzy thinks that doesn't make it so and we will continue to see some great Oasis albums in the future.  I can't fucking wait and I'm glad they have a lot of time left in them.  I can only feel sorry for those that don't feel the same way... sucks to be them I guess. 

EDIT:  People that have been fans of Oasis for a long time know that a Noel solo show isn't a sign of anything.  It's happened 50 times and will happen 50 more.  Hardcore fans love to see Noel do a solo show anyway, especially acoustic, so more power to them.

hasnt noel already announced he plans on going solo?

hook me up with them man i love oasis!

hasnt noel already announced he plans on going solo?

Noel said years ago that it would be inevitable for him to put out a solo album.  Will it be soon though??  Not before the next Oasis album which could be out in 2007 but more likely 2008.  Noel says he has a ton of songs that aren't Oasis songs and I would fully support the idea of Noel doing something solo.  I'm a huge fan of Noel and the genius behind him and would love to get an oppurtunity to see him play solo in a more intimate setting than an Oasis show with 15,000 fans. 

Anything could happen though and the plans for Oasis change quite frequently.  When they say one thing... usually another happens.

New album in the works?
