Okay, moving on, we reach the controversial album. is it too big, is it too overblown? Do we care? NO! I love Be Here Now, but onto the rankings: 1) Don't Go Away - Powerful, emotional, and not overblown. Perfection 2) D'You Know What I Mean? - an absolute epic - perfect single, but could do with an earlier fade. Ah vell. 3) I Hope, I Think, I Know - the forgotten classic 4) Stand By Me - The other classic single, and Liam sounds so young on here! 5) My Big Mouth - how big can you get? Very, but it works well. 6) Be Here Now - a real rocker - Morning Glory Pt. 2 7) It's Gettin' Better (Man!!) - I love this track, but 32x refrain. Really? 8) All Around The World/(Reprise) - combined for simplicity, this track is an absolute epic, but maybe a keychange less would have been nice. 9) Fade In-Out - Every time I hear this i get images of a theme park in a desert. What other songs paint such a vivid picture of despair and obscurity? 10) The Girl In The Dirty Shirt - fun, but not melodically all there. 11) Magic Pie - Overblown, but epic. But no. But yes. My opinion is unknown, so it sits here. 'Definitely Maybe' Thread: Here'(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' Thread: Here

D'You Know What I Mean? - definite contender for best Oasis song ever
I Hope I Think I know - at their most Sex Pistols, and vastly underrated classic that never was
My Big Mouth - so much going on in this song, musically, lyrically and emotionally too. Perfect.
All Around the World + Reprise - I just don't want it to end, its so uplifting
It's Getting Better Man - I don't care if its got 35 or 350 repeats, its so powerful I love it
Fade In-Out - a very versatile song. Album version, Liam's take live or Noel's, always brilliant
Stand By Me - long, bloated, a little confused but always reminds me of how we're all connected
Don't Go Away - always liked it but its taking on more meaning to me these days
Be Here Now - A bit of a Columbia impersonator but does its own thing well enough, great opener
Girl in the Dirty Shirt - Love the song, Noel + liam harmonies together, the C9 chord in the end
Magic Pie - theme song for the misunderstood. Its over the top, chorus lyrics desperate but I like it.
/my 2nd fav Oasis album ever.

Great album and far too often criticised imo.
It's possibly the easiest album to rank with a bigger divide between the strongest and weakest songs.
Dont Go Away in particular is one of their greatest with one of Liam's best vocals!
On a negative, this is where Noel's self obsession began - I mean puttin Magic Pie on this album only made matters worse. A pointless song.
Dont Go Away I Hope I Think I Know D'you Know What I Mean Stand By Me My Big Mouth Fade In-Out All Around the World Girl in the Dirty Shirt It's Getting Better Man Be Here Now Magic Pie

Most fans love this album, but I (and most of you will probably agree) just wish we had some proper demos!

True, but MG demos wouldnt improve that album. Alot of people have spoken about a BHN Naked kinda album, so demos of these songs would probably give us that kind of album as a bootleg???

i really really don't like "Don't go away" don't know why but Oasis for me were never closer to something like girlie rock. i know his vocals are great but i really can't stand it^^ it's my opinion, but for me it just sounds like a desperate power ballad by the number. i know i will get some answers but it's just my opinion. would rate "fade in/out" over it every day.
