I can't stand don't look back in anger, it just goes on for ages and ages. I don't see its appeal.

IS that an unpopular opinion? Unpopular in that sense that people who hold the opinion wish they didn't, maybe. But not unpopular in the sense that it's one that goes against the grain. I think most people nowadays think Liam can't sing anymore.

I can't stand don't look back in anger, it just goes on for ages and ages. I don't see its appeal. It's not even 5 minutes long and it's got two verses, a pre-chorus repeated twice, the little " At least not today" outro and, like, four choruses! There's not a single second of the song that DOESN'T appeal to me... |

I think Gem was a top addition. And he's cool as fuck. As do I. Upping the ante - I quite enjoy listening to Heavy Stereo as well as ABWR. |

I adore HIABP. I also think PYMWYMI and TNOR are pretty nice.

I was joking with that one about Beady Eye and I hope some other people are joking too...

I think most people nowadays think Liam can't sing anymore. He can sing(World outside my room, blue Moon and the acoustic sessions on abbey road are great), however he chooses to Shout instead. Wish he had a vocal coach in the early 90's so he didnt killed his voice(if it was because of his stance)by straining his vocal chords. |

I think SOTSOG is the best sounding Oasis album and it's a shame they didn't stick to that route.

I like the focus on more of folk and roots rock sound during the HC era. Even though it was a step back from SOTSOG and the cool experimenting on that album, this was where the self-production shined (like on Songbird, She is Love, Heart of a Star and Shout it Out Loud) and it's a shame they didn't make a whole album like that.
With that said, even though the band perfected the "Wall of Sound" technique, I wish they would've made a truly stripped down album with some halfway-decent dynamics. That's one thing they never did, even though Noel was on the verge of doing so with SOTSOG, until he fumbled a bit with adding certain sounds and overdubs to fill the holes left by the absence of two member and the mastering stage. Where Did it All Go Wrong? and Sunday Morning Call both come to mind when I think of this.

This isn't a "I don't like this song" kind of thread, guys, this is a "I think Mccaroll was a decent drummer and should have been a leader" kind of thread.

Hi there, I have spent a lot of time reading these forums before creating an account and posting, and I cant help but notice that most of my opinions on oasis seem to go against the grain of popular consensus. So I have created this thread to share unpopular oasis opinions. I apologise if this has been done before, I did try searchimg but I couldnt find anything similar. So, here is,mine. Noel is a better singer than Liam, and Liam's post SOTSOG vocala have been awful. HC is a really good album. Some of my favorite tunes off it are SIL, HIABP, SCYHO, AQP and The Cage. All are top oasis tunes. I really like SMC TNOR isnt that bad. Undernieth the sky is a bit meh, as is listen up. I doubt that a version of DLBIA with liam on vocals exists and if it does it will probably never be released. One of the best songs on DBTT is ABWR. One of the worst is TUTS. TMOS is the worst song oasis have ever recorded. Strange - you say that Liam's post 2000 vocals were awful yet cite dross like Hung in a Bad Place and A Bell will Ring as some of the best tunes from that era. Aside from being clunkers, his vocals were abysmal on these songs, especially on A Bell will Ring |

Shakermaker is drivel and would struggle to make it as a b-side if I could rewrite Oasis history
Dig Out Your Soul is their strongest album post Be Here Now. Yes, its better than SOTSOG, and FAR better than DBTT or HC. Granted, it has 2 shit songs, but SOTSOG has 3, HC has about 9 and DBTT has a handful. Noel's songwriting on Bag It Up, The Turning, Shock of the Lightning and Falling Down was on fire, Liam's vocals were his best in a decade (possibly aided by studio effects but at least he didn't sound like a singing anti-smoking campaign) and Sardy's production was perfect for the album. It just sounded so clean and powerful which was perfect for the type of album they were going for. His production on High Flying Birds and DBTT was crap, but he hit the nail on the head with DOYS. It also featured both Liam's and Gem's strongest Oasis contributions. I really feel like Oasis 2.0 were finally hitting their stride with this album but the tour was too long and predictable and relations were obviously strained before it began. Liam's live vocals were patchy, also. Shame. But as far as the album is concerned it fits comfortably in the 4th spot of their best albums behind Be Here Now, Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory, and the critical reviews reflected this at the time (66/100 on Metacritic, DBTT has 63 and HC has 55)

I'd argue that Gem never contributed anything to Oasis songwriting wise that was worth our time, and Liam's best tunes are definitely not on Dig Out Your Soul. Unless you are talking about Boy With the Blues, because that is a tune! ----- Also... I'm not sure anything you said here would be considered an "unpopular" opinion of Oasis. There are plenty of folks on here who I'm sure agree with you for the most part. |

- (It's Good) To Be Free, Underneath the Sky and Rockin' Chair are all boring b-side songs and I'm thrilled they're not on either Definitely Maybe or (WTS)MG?.
- Step Out is a great song. Stay Young isn't.
- Clearly D'You Know What I Mean? is the best song on Be Here Now however the second and third best...? My Big Mouth and Magic Pie.
- I have little time for Stand By Me, Don't Go Away and All Around The World. I really don't like them.
- The entire Be Here Now era is overrated.
- There is little wrong with She Is Love being a single and I'd have shown support for Force of Nature being released as one too.
- The quality between Four Letter Word and Hung in a Bad Place is slight yet the difference in opinion varies greatly. Hmm...
- There isn't a bad song on DOYS.

Fair enough, maybe its not an unpopular opinion, but I think a lot of people prefer DBTT and especially SOTSOG over DOYS which I just think is madness, madness I say! I'm Outta Time is Liam's strongest contribution in my opinion, closely followed by Songbird. Boy With the Blues and I Believe in All were also from this period which I consider his 3rd and 4th best songs. I'm not keen on much else he did with Oasis. To Be Where There's Life while not more than a decent track is certainly better than the abortions A Bell will Ring or Hung In A Shit Place |

Hmm... - There isn't a bad song on DOYS. Other than Four Letter Word being an 'uptempo rocker' I don't see any correlation between the two. Four Letter Word has better vocals despite being recorded 9 years later, a genuine energy unlike the plodding Hung in a Bad Place, better lyrics ("you're on your own banana skin feet now" - WHAT?), better production, a better melody, actual attitude. Its a far superior 'rocker' in every department in my view |
