Best thing they ever did : "Some Might Say" (UK cd single) - the title track, "Acquiesce", "Talk Tonight" (Noel's best acoustic thingy) and "Headshrinker". Perfect.
Everything after Morning Glory is poo, frankly...

I agree hands down. Not one step misplaced on that one.

Definitely Maybe had some good songs on it, but I'm still coming down on the side of dud. Never saw what was supposed to be so great about Liam's voice.
Classic if only for the interviews, mind.

The image (if you care about that sort've thing) - Utterly boring
This is missing the point, which was that Oasis were like the crowd up on stage. Plus it wasn't that boring, they had an air of menace -- in the UK. They weren't 'indie' but they came out of indie 'culture' (ie NME readers, Evening Session listeners). Croation wasn't a 'real' indie by that point, but it was more indie than Columbia, shall we say.

I'm reading John Harris' not-very-good Last Party right now which prompted me to revive this thread.

The Oasis guitarist has made numerous jibes at the Sheffield band since their rise to fame, and has continued this week with his latest criticism. As well as blasting the band's image, Gallagher expressed his concern over upcoming musicians copying the Monkeys.
He said: "Their public persona is now of a bunch of grumpy old men. I'm worried about what's going to follow in their wake. It's gonna be c**ts with guitars going: 'And me mum works down the f**king chip shop, she met a geezer' and all that."
Gallagher added his own views on the difference between the two groups: "Great pop music is not about real life, it's about how great life can be. Real life's s**t."

As for Liam, I remember some years back apparently some voice specialist said he would completely have shot his voice by about now. And so it appears to prove.

If I have to see one more AT&T commercial that ends with a whiny "All around the world..." I am to spontaneously combust. GAWWWWWD!
How much longer til their contract with AT&T runs out? How many trillions did they make by licensing that song, which seems to be played at least once every commercial break?
― Z S, Friday, 13 July 2007 01:21 (sixteen years ago) link
I am to double-check my spelling and grammar next time I post, too.
yeah, that's got to have made them more $$ than everything else they've done combined. Since AT&T still uses it even after absorbing Cingular it seems that they aren't going to rebrand and switch songs, at least not for a while.
Noel Gallagher has continued his attack on the Arctic Monkeys, branding them "grumpy old men".
Funny how since the posts made in November of '06, Noel is now bff with the Arctic Monkeys. HYPOCRISY SHOCKAH
