3 number 1 albums in 3 years. 2 truly iconic concerts in 3 years: Mtv Unplugged and Down By The River Thames.
Successful concerts in different parts of the world etc etc... Would it all have been so great today with an Oasis reunion under the absolute control of Noel?

I'd love to see Oasis back together, for the sake of their families and of course the fans.
I'd be concerned that Liam's voice will again get buried in the sound mix. It seems post 2002, his vocals are almost hidden and in some gigs it was warranted but there are many gigs that it didn't need to be. Imagine if Liams vocals were more auditable at the River Plate gig?! Feels like a big reason why his solo live shows are so powerful is that it's his voice back out front.
There's also the probable reality that we'll get a set that's extremely similar to their last few gigs. I'd find it hard to imagine Noel agreeing to let Liam sing Rocking Chair, Headshrinker, Fade Away, etc.
Personally, across the history of Oasis, I feel the sets that worked the best for them were the ones that either had a 3-4 song Noel acoustic set in the middle followed by 1 electric sung Noel song or the way their set was for the Main Road, Knebworth, etc. gigs. Although I love to hear Noel sing, I tend to agree with Liam that the yo-yoing of Liam on stage, off stage, on stage, off stage, etc. kinda kills the vibe of the gig.

In my opinion an Oasis reunion today would kill all the good that Liam is giving and could still give. Noel would end up controlling everything: He would check the sound of the band, band members, earnings, concert setlist etc. etc. All the good that has existed since 2017 would be blown away.
A reunion can never achieve the purity and honesty of Liam's solo career.

I don't know if I'd say any of Liam's gigs have been "truly iconic". Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival is truly iconic. Queen at Live Aid is truly iconic. Knebworth was truly iconic. Down By the River Thames is nice to have, but it's hardly Nirvana Unplugged in terms of being iconic or culturally relevant.

Mmm I would love Liam solo album, Noel solo album, collaboration in some tunes, their relationship fixed aaaaaaand a world Oasis tour. The moment (2021) would be perfect due Liam voice but I don't think another Oasis album is a good idea, maybe a reunion single.

Not fussed one bit about an Oasis reunion. I hope they go the way of The Jam and The Smiths and just leave the band as a memory of the time it was intended,
Love having both brothers produce great music separately on a regular basis
I would however like them to make up on a personal level because they are brothers for fucks sake

I don't want them to work together again because I think they'll last like 2 weeks or something
Noel needs creative control and I'm not sure Liam would be willing to give it to him at this point, a new Oasis record would only make sense if it's fully written by Noel and Liam sings it all bar maybe one tune a-la Don't Look Back In Anger
Also don't think they'll ever match people's expectations, I love what Noel's doing as a solo artist and many people love what Liam's doing, but that doesn't take away from the fact that their peak was 25 years ago, as much as I'd love it I doubt we could get anything remotely close to those first two records
I'd love for them to be civil as brothers and maybe do a tour with all the lads one day, nothing more than that

Noel would end up controlling everything: He would check the sound of the band etc. etc. Well for Liam solo that sure isn't Liam dealing with these things. I doubt Liam is adjusting the sound of the guitars  Anyway, i'd be up for an Oasis reunion but only with a new album and a tour with a set of mostly new songs. Not interesting in a "MG tour" or "DM tour" like most bands do nowadays. With of course a few classics here and there. This could be interesting because Noel is very into experimenting now and Liam would accept it just to have Oasis back. |

I'd still kill to see Oasis back together in any capacity really. Ideally Liam singing an album full of Noel's songs then some huge gigs. Probably not a whole tour because it would probably send both of them mental.

He actually stated that it was he himself who wanted the early oasis punk rock sound from his band |

Liam solo all the way. I love Oasis but I certainly don't want them back and reform. As I've already said on here before it wouldn't work anyway and wouldn't last five minutes. Even if they did reform I bet that it wouldn't be long before they're fighting again. So it's a definite one big no to a reunion.

To me he would have to be lead singer on at least 3 songs AND maybe a duet in another song? Anyways I'd prefer an world tour however I agree with you that they wouldn't be able to work together for a long time so at least a few concerts or at least 1 concert... But to answer the poll, yes I'd prefer an Oasis reunion over Liam solo. But it's not happening so I'm enjoying where Liam and Noel are right now |

Let's not pretend for a moment that an Oasis reunion album wouldn't kick the crap out of Liam solo. I mean, it's not gonna happen and I'm fine with what we have now, but come on...

The only reunion show I'd love to see is a two-night run at a big venue when this pandemic gets done, supporting some sort of charity effort. One night, have 20 Oasis songs. The next night, have another 15 Oasis songs with five holdovers (Live Forever, DLBIA, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Cigs & Alc) and bring down the house on Oasis's history with one last massive banger of a gig. Get Alan White on drums, Bonehead on rhythm guitar, and Gem on bass if Guigs isn't up for it. That would be a fantastic show.
Otherwise, Liam and Noel each going solo is perfectly fine by me. They do good with what they've got as it is.

Down By the River Thames is nice to have, but it's hardly Nirvana Unplugged in terms of being iconic or culturally relevant. I agree with you in a historical sense but that doesn't always make them good from a performance perspective. Dylan only played 5 songs at Newport and it was nowhere near as good as the 66' tour or Isle of Wight, in the same way I'm more likely to put Down By The Thames on than Knebworth to be honest. There was a lot of pressure at Knebworth and I thought it turned out a bit flat (the sound rather than the event) and Liam wasn't all that either. |

I think we all have a different idea of would be a "perfect" Oasis reunion and that's ok |

I any case, I think it's very obvious that if an Oasis reunion happened, Noel would write Oasis songs. He's writing what he does now because he wants to, not because he's somehow forced or limited to. |

An Oasis reunion would be huge but for us of a certain age, you know that thing was ran in to the ground. And then some. It became sterile.
At their peak I was 16/17. I’m glad of that - but I don’t need to revisit it like some ‘80s madhead swinging his shirt round his head at a Madness gig.
Things are cool as they are.
