Moka punched up a pretty dope-looking template here - ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc Font is definitely right, anyway.

that is a good Oasis image. Moka is probably out though as she is having computer issues.

all you need is one more song and then email the address above.

Bee OK, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:39 (seven years ago) link

i can't do this in the upcoming week because of work issues, so i'm going to extend voting for one more week. countdown will start that week.

Bee OK, Saturday, 13 August 2016 18:45 (seven years ago) link

i still think that 'dig out your soul' is a cracking album.
far better than any of their other post BHN albums.
the extra stuff that came in the boxset was wonderful stuff.
(mainly down to the production by richard fearless)
oh, and the 20 minute FSOL/AA remix of Falling Down was the best thing they had done in years.

'Bag It Up', 'The Turning', 'The Shock of the Lightning', 'I'm Outta Time' and 'Falling Down' are all good, I suppose... but '(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady', 'To Be Where There's Life', 'The Nature of Reality' and 'Soldier On' are just... eurgh.

i genuinely like "(get off your) high horse .. "

the opening section drifting into the full band groove i find very enjoyable.

mark e, Saturday, 13 August 2016 20:30 (seven years ago) link

and despite all the cliches, i love the sitar excess and big bass groove of 'to where theres life' ..

mark e, Saturday, 13 August 2016 20:32 (seven years ago) link

and 'the nature of reality' is just a full on glam stomp ..
nothing different for them i know, but damn, its a big fuck off stomp of a track.

mark e, Saturday, 13 August 2016 20:34 (seven years ago) link

and as for 'soldier on' ..
well, as final send off, i aint complaining..
i agree it's not anything special, but it's a solid oasis track.

summary : their final album is up with their best in my world.

It's not the cliches that bother me, really, it's more that the song itself isn't very good. Then again, I feel pretty much the same about every song that Gem Archer wrote for Oasis.

the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Saturday, 13 August 2016 21:30 (seven years ago) link

well, given i still listen to the heavy stereo album ..

mark e, Saturday, 13 August 2016 21:38 (seven years ago) link

hope the extended time can bring in some more ballots.

Bee OK, Saturday, 13 August 2016 22:15 (seven years ago) link

sorry i had to delay the roll out but that's life sometimes.

Bee OK, Saturday, 13 August 2016 22:16 (seven years ago) link

Oh god, Heavy Stereo were awful, just awful!

the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Saturday, 13 August 2016 22:40 (seven years ago) link

Definitely still gearing up on my ballot! Glad of the bonus time tbh, will try and give spins to the last two albums just in case anything knocks me out.

Silence, followed by unintelligible stammering. (Doctor Casino), Saturday, 13 August 2016 22:43 (seven years ago) link

glad the extra time is going to help some.

Bee OK, Sunday, 14 August 2016 00:36 (seven years ago) link

for those of you who have missed this, Oasis deadline has been extended. you actually have one more week.

Bee OK, Sunday, 14 August 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link

Thankful for the extended deadline, now I'll actually be able to put together a ballot

bunny slopes, Sunday, 14 August 2016 19:45 (seven years ago) link

"Dont Believe The Truth" is surprisingly decent

Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Sunday, 14 August 2016 21:05 (seven years ago) link

I guess I should put together a ballot for this. I'll probably just stick to the 1994-1998 stuff, though... I find it hard to narrow that stuff down to a ballot as it is.

the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Sunday, 14 August 2016 21:42 (seven years ago) link

do it!

Bee OK, Saturday, 20 August 2016 01:46 (seven years ago) link

last weekend to vote, even if you just like five songs please submit.

Bee OK, Saturday, 20 August 2016 01:46 (seven years ago) link

finalizing my 25 now! Gets tricky ranking some of these and I think I could probably scramble most of the list and think "yeah, that looks about right." But so it goes. List overall feels like a pretty kickass two-disc comp even if I ended up giving up on really learning the last few records enough to pick much from 'em. Gotta be true to what really got the repeat plays out of my battered old CDs. This is fun!
