This would be cool, but also kinda lame at the same time. Both have been through the ringer that's for sure. Liam more recently, but Mavers has wasted his skills or maybe he just didn't have material left in him. Still Liam should probably take a few pointers from him, since Liam's own songs really really mirror Mavers. Mavers made one superb album, and I agree with Mean Mrs. Mustard's prognosis that it is a tad overrated on this forum. Don't get me wrong its amazing. it helped make britpop and influenced Noel's songwriting, but its not a top 10-20 album of all time in my mind like some people claim it to be. That said, I love that album to death and it'd without a doubt probably be in the 30's on my list.

Let me start by saying that I unashamedly love The La's and their wonderful album. Mavers certainly deserves a place amongst the greatest pop songwriters just for that bunch of songs. Having said that, he sounds like absolute shit in all the performances from recent times (from the last 10 years) I've seen on Youtube. He even seems to have diction problems (as in having trouble controlling his mouth movements) that he didn't have 25 years ago. And no, it's not the Scouse accent. I also think this rumour is complete nonsense, but if Mavers still has got great songs in him that we haven't heard, he should team up with someone else to bring them to life, not with a singer who is way past his prime, very limited in his singing abilities and barely a shadow of the artist he used to be. I guess the moral lesson here is don't do class A drugs, kids? I can't say I agree. Especially about the drugs.

You might of heard 'Timeless Melody' as well. Just listen to their album when you have some free time. Apart from a few unreleased tunes and that, they only did the one, and even that is only 35 minutes.

Where the hell was I Well, our friends Noel and Liam have often cited it as one of their favourite albums of all time. But just listen to it and make up your mind about it

If it wasn't for Oasis and for accidentally hearing that song once I wouldn't have known who The La's were either, tbh.
