I was going through some b-sides today and thought the LAG's contribution to the DBTT era is honestly quite underwhelming I don't mind what we got from them with DOYS, but I can't help thinking they should've gone back to Noel's writing at least 80% of the records once he got back to form

I'm not saying all Andy/Gem songs are bad (although...) but that door should never have been opened.

I'm not saying all Andy/Gem songs are bad (although...) but that door should never have been opened. When Noel brought them in I think he genuinely wanted them to contribute to the sound and be pushed by other people with a vision and some different sonic influences, instead they probably (especially Andy, who's a talented writer in his own way and field) felt compelled to conform to the Oasis way after the commercial failure of SOTSOG and then the moderate success of HC with the return to a more traditional sound and what we got was them writing Gallagher-lite stuff, which was never going to work because as far as pop songwriting goes the talent gap is quite evident I don't think Liam's should've written either, aside from the odd tune, he's a good natural melodist but just doesn't have the patience and crafting ability for it

I like Eyeball Tickler and Pass Me Down The Wine from the Don't Believe The Truth era. I think they're both pretty good b.sides. As for the others well they're not really that good even Noel's Sitting (Sitting Here In Silence) On My Own.

Oasis tried something new with SOTSOG and the reception was at best lukewarm (though I adore it, for whatever that’s worth). U2 played it safe and hit the big time again. That’s not to slate ATYCLB either, it’s a good album. But I think you can see the effect it had on Oasis’ second decade.

Other than LAG songs, the biggest flaw of 00's Oasis is Noel thinking that their popularity was based on radio-friendly semi-acoustic anthems and not raucous, swirling rock 'n' roll. The classic Oasis sound is Supersonic, not Wonderwall. If he wanted the band to return to what worked, he should have made more stuff like The Hindu Times Demo.

I don't think he had it in him at that point, and the direction he went to as a solo artist kinda shows it (even if I'd consider something like TMWBTM or Evil Flower heavier and more rock n roll than much of Oasis 00's output, controversial I know) Lyla was very Oasisy, but as fun as it is it sounds extremely cliched compared to the early classics The only rocker I'd put up there is TSOTL, The Turning too but the mood's already darker there

I can handle GGTIA. A Bell Will Ring is fucking dreadful. And while KTDA is way too long with sloppy Liam vocals, there is a good tune in there. But nothing, nothing is as bad as DOYS’ appalling TNOR.

Probably the same person who posted the remastered music videos yesterday but then deleted them.

I’ve always loved this music video - the band look cool as fuck, embedded within the drug induced chaos. The 2005 DBTT era was brilliant. Top tune, too. Oasis, how we all miss you.

If anyone ever doubted Oasis' melodic prowess he should be immediatly directed here

How bizarre is this? AI is fed some lyrics from popular songs and tries to complete the tune itself.
Although the results are hilarious, a more sinister take is at which stage will songwriting be done by AI and algorithms? Seriously freaky. The technology will inevitably develop and potentially bastardise the art of songwriting.
