In what universe is Stay Young "dire"? Bonkers. Dire is probably not the right word, but it's terribly annoying. Dire definitely wasn't the right word, and I don't think much of your reassessment of "terribly annoying" either... Fabulous pop song. |

In what universe is Be Here Now "the worst song"? Bonkers. In my opinion. Which no one has to like or agree with. You don't like Cast No Shadow, which is one of my favourite Oasis songs, but I'm not bashing you for that, am I? I might do it.. I do respect your opinion, can understand why one wouldn't like it (it's quite silly, really). |

Be Here Now is better tbh, despite being much maligned.

Does anyone else think Stand By Me, Don't Go Away, Stay Young, The Girl In The Dirty Shirt and (to a slightly lesser extent) All Around The World are all lame or is it just me? Occasionally I'll hear someone take a shot at one or two of them but I don't recall anyone else not caring for the full set. I've recently started to like Don't Go Away and dislike Stand By Me, which used to be the other way around. Stand By Me now sounds a bit whiny to me, well the chorus. I still like the verses a lot. Anyway, those two are both completely ruined by the excessive use of FUCKING LOUD GUITARS. Don't Go Away has such a lovely instrumental buried in the mix, very Bacharach like, as we could hear in the OOPS thread. I love All Around The World and it's mega ongoing coke fest. The other two are alright, I'm a bit neutral on those. Yeah, absolutely. Clearly I'm in the minority but I'd loosely describe the whole lot as a bunch of whiny, tasteless, dreariness, tediously drawn-out over what feels like a millenia. Not the so called outrageous fun many claim it all to be. Be Here Now is cherished for it's madness, but more often than not madness leads to stupidity and the Be Here Now era reeks of it. If people had doubts about Oasis then Be Here Now confirmed it for them a thousand times over. As unfairly flippant as it is, it's no real wonder as to why Noel dismisses it all. " It's the sound of a bunch of guys, on coke, in the studio, not giving a fuck" indeed. |

People widely take the piss out of tracks like The Nature Of Reality and I Can See A Liar for shit lyrics, but that first verse of Stand By Me is surely no less of joke? Why does Noel get away with that one? Unless you think otherwise surely a Stand By Me Fan can't use bad lyrics as an argument with any real weight behind it.

I never been a huge fan of stand by me as a whole tbh, the chorus is abit lackluster and it goes on too long, I like the "the way its gonna be yeaaa"s towards the end the most, I personally wouldve rather of heard something else on the SOTSOG tour from BHN. as for the first verse I dont think people really give it a pass ive seen people mention it often enough. |

As I'm literally sitting here drinking at 8:29 am us eastern Reading this , the first thing I think about when thinking of Oasis. Is the PRINCESS ....... I LOVED DIANA to me she will always be the princess I'll never forget the night she passed I cried like a baby for a couple of days ....... I was one of those that got up at 1 am in NYC to stay up to watch the wedding ...... And when she died the whole of England seemed to die at least partially ....if you weren't there you'll never understand ...... And it makes me think. How different would that lp have been received. , reviewed , had Diana not gotten into that car ......... I think the uk would have kept the spirit of Britannia going. BHN would have been bigger than Wtsmg. And the party would have continued .......it's amazing and sad what the death of one person could change a a bands fate And Diana did that .......
May she rest in peace

Let's face it: HC is a halfway decent album in desperate need of good production. The Hindu Times could rock more. The ugly mess at the end of Force of Nature could be massive and chaotic. Hung in a Bad Place could've been every bit as awesome and coked out as BHN. Stop Crying Your Heart Out could've had more emotional gravity to make it a beautiful piece of music. And so on. (There's no saving PAITM and She Is Love though. ) But as it stands right now, HC is somewhat enjoyable on good days, and unlistenable on pretty much every other day of the year. |

If we keep talking about the BHN reissue do we increase the chances of someone from the management team / record companies stumbling across our demands. Sadly I doubt it!!!!!

No given the decisions they have made in the past, which I am sure were governed by chaos theory on more than one occasion, they will probably pull it on the grounds that they "can't see sufficient demand" before releasing another best of to go with STC and TF  |

'Flashbax' is probably the most 'nothingy' Oasis song. I neither like it or despise it, but I don't think I'll listen to it again. It feels like it was written and recorded just for the sake of it.

Fuckin' In the Bushes
An incredible song. I wasn't an Oasis fan in 2000, so I didn't hear this in context of its release but that one-two punch of FITB and Go Let it Out slays. SOTSOG will always have a special place in my heart. It has its fair share of flaws, but when they nailed what they were trying to do, it sounded like Oasis should have in the 2000's. Lush, groovy, and psychedelic but melodic.

Plus Swamp Song has a million things going on in that tune and they nailed live every time. |

"Sonically, 'Listen Up' offers another textbook example of the shoegaze/grunge synthesis. The song begins with the (by-now classic) McCarroll hip-hop drum intro before plunging into a swirl of power chords and phaser-smothered guitar overdubs. There is a desperate, bleak quality to the whole of 'Listen Up', which has the feel of a garage band struggling - and succeeding - to create a sound of panoramic grandeur and soul. But the most striking moment in the song occurs in the bridge section where, over a descending chord sequence, Liam Gallagher howls a sudden, stabbing lyrical fragment that imagines a day when he can leave everyone behind once and for all." (From Alex Niven's book on Definitely Maybe)
is awesome. It's one of those songs that gives you the same great feeling, with each listen, as when the brilliance of the song first occurred in your mind. It's slowly crept into my top 10, but I think it has a solid spot in it after a good listening session on Sunday. The loud production really works on this song, and the way it's such a hazy mess makes everything a lot better with how you can get lost in those sweet-sounding guitars that swirl throughout the whole song. I can't imagine Listen Up without the brickwall production, but I'd love to hear a more dynamic version of it. |

I was just coming here to basically song praises for listen up after this mornings commute to work where i gave Liam's original vox and Noel's acoustic performances both x3 back to back listens. The song is bloody amazing In both arrangements and I cany fault it. A real example of why oasis are the best ever. The dimension both Liam and Noel give is just awesome. Not even Lennon and McCartney. Noel singing liam songs work better than if Paul sang john songs IMO |
