Oasis - Classic or Dud?

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.

Haha, my best mate's dad directed it!

dying over here

The whole thing, or just the singing bits?

"never forget"

Gotta love the Noel eyeroll during the clip at 3:50.

Because the singing was abominable?

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."

says CHEERFUL UNDER-30 NOEL GALLAGHER WHO DIDN'T REVIVE SUCCESS OF 'GRUMPY OLD MEN' IN THE CHARTS AT ALL OH NO

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.

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."

You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
She made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue

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?

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".

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."

Funny how since the posts made in November of '06, Noel is now bff with the Arctic Monkeys. HYPOCRISY SHOCKAH

Even the new stuff they leak online is a) rubbish and b) four years old.

interesting

my oh my is 'slide away' ever a great song.

but aside from that and a couple of other less notable cuts from the first record, dudsville

mere words cannot explain the contempt in which i hold this band.

perhaps the mode of interpretive dance, then?

Then, now and forever: dud.

I miss long-gone ILM poster osis fan.

I was reading the last issue of Mojo during my lunch break at Borders. They did another readers poll: 50 best UK albums of all time.

3. Radiohead: OK Computer
2. Oasis: What's the story...
1. Oasis: Definitely Maybe

Quite a bit of Keane in there too. The Beatles still made top 10.
