I was thinking that 2017 was an incredible year to be an oasis fan. It was the year that both Liam and Noel released their greatest solo work. It was a year that featured Liam's comeback.
1994 was the breakout. 1995 was the explosion. 1996 was the year oasis was all over US radio and was the biggest band in the world. 1997 was Be Here Now hype.
I can't think of a year from 1998 to now where it was more fun being an oasis fan. I really think 2017 is a top five year to be an oasis fan.

The 2000 tour was pretty awesome to be at. So was the 2002. Went downhill then

The 90s obviously and Liam's come back in 2017. The 2000 and 2002 era was ok for the tours especially the Finsbury Park gigs even though the albums weren't the bands best. I've always liked Don't believe The Truth and Dig Out Your Soul even though the tours for those two albums weren't the band's best.

Yeah I loved 2017, loved both albums and far better than anything they'd done with Oasis or anything else since 1997. Seeing Liam back to his best and Noel pushing himself sonically was wonders.

Unfortunately the board at that time was grotesquely clogged with simpleton trolls which puts a damper on all of it for me. |

Everyone seemed to like Oasis in 94 and 95. Then I remember many of the same c*nts who had liked them deeming it uncool to like Oasis from 96 onwards.
For me peak Oasis was the Morning Glory/Be Here Now tours - the rock'n'roll behaviour, great songs and Liam at his vocal peak. That's what Oasis was all about.
The world that enabled Oasis to be so great in those ways no longer exists.

94-96 will always be special, a band on the trajectory with B Sides better than most bands album tracks.
I’ve seen 1000s of bands, but I’ve seen a handful like Oasis where they’re red hot and at their peak. Between 95 & 97 I saw them 5 times and they were just magical. I saw a lot of bands in the old Point Depot in Dublin, AcDc to Bowie to Neil Young to Nirvana, and Oasis in 96 was a special kind of night, there was a definite connection between band, audience and the audience itself. Oasis soundtracked our lives for 3 years.

94-97… magical years of a world that no longer exists. Oasis was the soundtrack of that exact moment. Sunny days, afternoons playing football, making new friends, looking at the girls, hopes for the future, nothing worried me, getting on the bus after class and while I’m looking for a seat Wonderwall plays on the bus radio. April 96... Oasis on top of the world and I was young. Yes, I feel nostalgic...

100% to those 94-97 comments! I was also there, and those records lock our carefree school days into a hazy time capsule.
But!
2017. As good as it gets being a grown up with Liam’s magical comeback, Noel finally writing the record he’d always wanted, and dare I say, Ride making their own comeback brilliance?
All peaking with Knebworth of all places a few years later!
Dreams aren’t just for children I reckon!

Some Might Say just came along at the perfect time in the midst of that era… Every single did, but there was something in the air right when Some Might Say came out that captures the magic in musical form. |

The Jam were the soundtrack of my teenage years 1977-1982.
Nothing and nobody came close to repeating that passion, energy and fire for the youth of the day until Oasis came along. I was (obviously!) a little older by that point, but they re-lit the fires of my youth in their 1995-1996 period.
Given the new world we now live in, I'm not sure anyone will do that for the youth of their day in quite the same way again ... but I suppose every generation says that?
1996 will always be my favourite year to be an Oasis fan because I had some pretty green in my pocket, the music was fantastic, the swagger was off the charts and it was all part of something bigger - Euro '96 etc.
It really did feel like we were going to live forever and that football was coming home. The hangover was around the corner.

Remember watching the Periscope(!) stream of Liam's comeback gig at the Ritz not knowing what to expect. You knew something special was happening when he opened with FITB A and RNRS.

2002 was my summer of love. The pinacle being Finsbury Park in the shitting rain. Lived in my Finsbury Park tour shirt that year. 2005 was also brilliant as I saw them loads but 2002 and Heathen Chemistry was just class.

‘96. Everything was possible.
2017. A post-Glasto Liam has an emotional time trying to give an interview to Jo Whiley.
What a trip.
