OK I'll bite and answer them one by one:-
1) They were an incredible live band- whether or not they could be again remains to be seen, as I and others have said many times that depends on the attitude and vocal prowess of one Liam Gallagher.
2) The anthems are indeed there, although whether it would sound glorious live again or not depends very much on point one.
3) Presuming they are referring to records as opposed live- Well five studio albums followed those two and whilst well liked (HC possibly not so much around here
) they never recaptured those moments since. Understandable when you consider one was a youthful debut by an exciting rock n' roll band recapturing British sounding music after grunge and Euro dance had been all conquering, and the second was the Zeitgeist capturing mega seller.
4) Noel's wit- Erm yes but the man still does interviews and shows to this day......don't need as reunion for that
5) Oasis helped defined the 1990s- Depends on your taste for nostalgia I suppose, but in fairness that's what a reunion would in all probability be- a money spinning nostalgia trip
6) Oasis need a bob or two- Noel probably not, Liam possibly so after BE and the divorce, as to the others depends if the brothers actually used any past members in a reunion doesn't it? After all Morrissey and Marr turned down $75M to tour in 08/09 with the pre-requisite that only those two needed to be involved, without Joyce or Rourke-
Rolling Stone source7) The Stone Roses- I still think the jury should be out over the roses reunion. Yes Heaton Park, etc. was great fun and a trip down memory lane/opportunity for younger fans to see them, but where is the much heralded new material, or the now long term lack of news?
8) Fire in the music industry- Noel's patched up with Damon, but is still readily available for a slagging off style quote if needed, as would Liam probably. No need for a reunion for that.
9) Noel is open to the idea- Really? The evidence they submit for that is the same crap The Daily Star thread covered, so unless they spoke to him today probably not.
10) B-Side Gems- Agreed they have them in spades, but see point 2 for this.
All in all I still think the only honest reason for a reunion is to cash in, which is ultimately up to two brothers whether they want to do it and if their management & supporting networks can put it together.
Cheers to @keizer for giving me a break from accounts, and allowing a curmudgeonly old bas*ard another unrequested by anyone ranting platform
