If I were to guess I'd say its the most played song by Oasis ever, played every year at least once from 1994-2009. Its in the setlist somewhere in every tour they had (excluding the odd show now and then), opener for their few 1999 shows and the one off in 2007 for the Brit Awards. What does everyone think of it? Studio version, demo, live etc.

Love it, the studio versions great but the versions they did live until about 2001 were mega, unfortunately while Liam did still sounds boss on it after that period it but it lost a bit of its flair when "You can wait for a lifetiiiiiiiiime to spend yer days in the sunnnnnnsheeeeeine" became "y'can wait for life-ta...to spend ya days in the sunsha". One for Beady Eye to bring back maybe.

I liked the extended outro they did for the SotSoG tour (and maybe Brotherly Love and Noise and Confusion tours?); I think it was an interpolation of Whole Lotta Love. But it was pretty boring to see it on the setlist of every single tour.

Fucking love the Whole Lotta Love outro. Also love the 2005 ending (if you know what I mean). And I especially love when Noel sings the backing vocals on it. Great song. The only real downside is that the lead guitar bits are missing on the live versions.

I love the live interpretations so much I almost don't find the studio one as exciting anymore ... although it came on in a club in Dublin recently and I went bananas.
My favourite's pretty much been the Wembley 2000 version / Barrowlands version, with the Whole Lotta Love ending, especially at the Barrowlands where they all go too fast, and Gem does his sneaky crunchy solo at the end - LOVE IT! Biggest buzz! I do however love how Zak thumps this out like a motherfucker - and I like Liam's singing during the DBTT era the best, as well as the V Fest crowd>

My favourite live versions:
Budokan 1998 (w/ Whole Lotta Love and Heartbreaker riff) Buenos Aires 2001 Wembley 2000 or Leeds 2000 Gloria Amphitheater, Cologne (I think) 2009 - Noel's got an interesting glammy thrash effect going on Zenith, Lille 2002 (version with the Daytripper riffs)

Better? No. About equal? Yeah. Much better IMO. I don't think t Rex are that good really apart from a few songs like children of the revolution and 20th century boy

Too many people cling onto the lyrics of that song i think. Its about being on the dole and yet folks born with silver spoons in their mouths proclaim it to sum their own lives up. And that makes me sick..
As for my opinion, i dont like it tbh

It's about being on the dole in manchester with nothing to do but do drugs (and cigarettes and alcohol) and have sex with women because Noel felt there were no opportunities in Manchester at that time, like john Lennon, he felt trapped in his birth place and couldn't wait to get out. A lot of the album is about politicians at that time being so out of touch with what was going on with real people whilst they had lots of money, the people in Manchester on the dole had no money at all so I think the full album was Noel rebelling against that and wanting to get "out of the city" and get some money. I don't think it's glorifying people on dole

I don't think it's glorifying people on dole While generally correct, I think it's a lot more broad than that. C&A is not just about being on the dole, and DM is not just about Manchester. They're both about being young, and people of the demographic the world over can relate - hence it's not political or Manchester specific. DM epitomizes everything about youth: Having a night on the town at bars, wanting to escape the tedium for a successful and brighter future, rebelling against authority figures, the wistful need of finding lust and love, forging special relationships and keeping such relationships intact, etc. I cite this passage a lot, but the NME summed up Oasis best in their 2006 Stop the Clocks review (most of which applies to DM and WTSMG, and perhaps the best review that was ever written): To understand these songs is to know what if feels like to be 18 years old, with a great haircut and a great set of clothes, walking into a club with more heart and hope than dough, and thinking – metaphorically at least – “Everyone in this shithole is going to suck my fucking dick.” These are songs about triumph and adversity (‘Talk Tonight’); about having nothing and wanting everything (‘Rock’N’Roll Star’); about being pissed off with the world, yet coming from such a poor lot, you’re too pathetically educated to be able to express such rage linguistically, and anyway, the cool-as-fuck, forever iconic, six-syllable stretched pronunciation of ‘Im-ag-in-aay-shee-en’ says everything you want to say much more succinctly (‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’). It’s also about fighting – and, if you take into account Oasis’ much underappreciated, career best dewy side (‘Slide Away’, ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’), forgiving. Put plainly and simply, these are songs about every intake of air that goes into your lungs, swills about inside you for a bit, and then returns from where it arrived. These are songs that chronicle the experience of life....Those songs say everything about life. They document it. They pulled you through it time and time again.www.nme.com/reviews/oasis/8077
