The boy with the blues?

Mark G, Friday, 26 August 2016 06:20 (seven years ago) link

Sort of amazed Don't Look Back In Anger isn't there. Do people not like it?

nate woolls, Friday, 26 August 2016 07:57 (seven years ago) link

I'm not surprised, tbqh. Imagine Liam singing it. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Mark G, Friday, 26 August 2016 10:48 (seven years ago) link

do I understand the poll correctly and most people here prefer these songs to Supersonic ??

9. The Hindu Times 74 2

I'm very surprised, because it's one of Oasis' best singles packages of that period, with 'Underneath The Sky', 'Step Out' and their best cover version ('Cum On Feel The Noize') on the B-sides. I think 'Don't Look Back In Anger' is a miles better song than 'Wonderwall', too. Always did.

Having said that, though, the 'Wonderwall' single is also one of their better singles packages: 'Round Are Way', 'The Masterplan' and the full version of 'The Swamp Song' on the B-sides.

Those that voted for the 'Live Forever' single were probably voting for the song and not the single. Aside from the lead track, it doesn't have much else to offer.

In fact, seems to me that people generally got confused about this section of the poll.

the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Friday, 26 August 2016 11:00 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, true, although "Cloudbusting" is there. (It's on my version of the DefMay CD)

(p.s. like the review at the bottom..)

Mark G, Friday, 26 August 2016 11:12 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, 'Cloudburst' has its fans but I've never really liked it, for me it didn't really have much about it that stuck in the cranium long after listening like Noel's best songs of the period.

ayo bee ok, I voted for the "don't look back in anger" single

who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 26 August 2016 12:58 (seven years ago) link

whoa i was like OASIS COVERED KATE BUSH? for a sec

a simba man (Will M.), Friday, 26 August 2016 14:58 (seven years ago) link

I didn't vote in the singles poll but it's ridiculous that Don't Look Back in Anger didn't even place, being as that's their best song

Οὖτις, Friday, 26 August 2016 15:19 (seven years ago) link

Well, there is a stewards enquiry on tthat one thanks to:

ayo bee ok, I voted for the "don't look back in anger" single

Mark G, Friday, 26 August 2016 15:20 (seven years ago) link

I don't think it would be better with Liam singing, Noel's voice was a nice change at the time and I still prefer his voice.

nate woolls, Friday, 26 August 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link

hum. I don't know, I don't really like Noel's voice. It's too mild and lacks personality.
whenever an oasis song happens to play on my spotify, if it's Noel, I skip it.
"don't look back" is ok, though.

AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 26 August 2016 15:50 (seven years ago) link

the only real flaw with the masterplan beyond the "i am the walrus" cover is how many songs are sung by noel. i guess he has a better voice traditionally but he mostly sounds mundanely bored, as opposed to liam's way more compelling idgaf bored

who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 26 August 2016 16:21 (seven years ago) link

Liam has the sneer and the gravelly Lennon-esque grain. Noel's a much less distinctive singer. nonetheless he sings the two best songs on Morning Glory.

Οὖτις, Friday, 26 August 2016 16:23 (seven years ago) link

er wait no I guess Liam sings Cast No Shadow?

Οὖτις, Friday, 26 August 2016 16:23 (seven years ago) link

Noel's got better as a singer over the years, Liam's got worse.

the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Friday, 26 August 2016 16:24 (seven years ago) link

Dunno, that Noel Remix set that came out, I like all the tracks that do not have Noel singing

Mark G, Friday, 26 August 2016 16:43 (seven years ago) link

just about ready to go again.

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 17:33 (seven years ago) link

can't believe i messed up.

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 17:36 (seven years ago) link

I thought Some Might Say was nailed on for #1 single/EP - great lead track, two amazing b-sides (and one decent one).

Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 26 August 2016 17:38 (seven years ago) link

i even voted for "Don't Look Back in Anger" single:

7. Stand by Me 83 2 1 Number One
8. Don't Look Back In Anger 82 Points, 2 Votes
9. Roll With It 81 2

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 17:40 (seven years ago) link

i somehow eliminated it when i was editing the spreadsheet.

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 17:41 (seven years ago) link

also sorry, i should have been a bit clearer in the Singles/EPs part of this poll. there seems to be some confusion.

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link

this order is about as logical as you would think.

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 18:07 (seven years ago) link

i has mixed feeling about voting for The Masterplan in this part of the poll. i never owed it as i had all the single but when i looked at what made my ballot and what songs were on this comp. i decided to go ahead and vote for it.

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 18:15 (seven years ago) link

yeah it was my no. 1 album

who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 26 August 2016 18:16 (seven years ago) link

and the only album to make all 16 ballots.

Bee OK, Friday, 26 August 2016 18:39 (seven years ago) link

it really wasn't even close.

no-one offered to help with images, so i was just going to go with plain text. decided that was too boring and didn't have time to learn photo shop. decided to go with original artwork since Oasis has enough verity.
