POLL With It - OASIS (ILM artist poll #78) --- The results thread

It is featured on their debut album Definitely Maybe,on the "Whatever" single, and on the "Champagne Supernova" US single. Also in the Stop the Clocks interview, Noel claimed that he was told to release it as a fifth single from Definitely Maybe, but Gallagher refused, arguing, "You can't have five [singles] off a debut album." Furthermore it is claimed to be Paul McCartney's favorite song by Oasis in the same interview.

damn I didn't know slide away would get this high

I had a feeling it would, it's always been a highly regarded track amongst fans. I had this down as a definite lock for the Top 5.

another one of my very favorites, i do wonder why they included this song on the "Whatever" single as well? it wasn't like they were including album tracks on other singles.

going to do the last two together...

49. D’Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?
50. Go Let It Out

Damn, I was really pulling for Bonehead's Bank Holiday to be number 1.

'Live Forever' would have made my ballot, admittedly. I'm more surprised about 'Some Might Say' being in the Top 3, if only because there's been about 20 songs that have placed below it that are superior to it.

Bee OK, did 'It's Gettin' Better (Man!!)' or 'All Around The World' get any votes?

53. All Around the World 76 3
54. It's Getting Better (Man!!) 73 3

19 Don't Go Away
20 Headshrinker

22 Bring It On Down
23 I'm Outta Time
24 Hello
25 Wonderwall

Ballot part three
1 Definitely Maybe
2 The Masterplan
3 Morning Glory
4 Be Here Now

So, unless I'm mistaken, the first song on the list not from Definitely Maybe or Morning Glory era is at 23. That's pretty remarkable, though perhaps not surprising. And it's a song from Dig Out Your Soul, which might be a bit more surprising.

I'm sure it's been mentioned in the noms thread but the way Liam sings "SUNSHEEEIIINE" is dylanesquely brilliant and brings a smile to my face

never got round to doing the 'Oasis' cover of Autobahn

My ballot:

PART ONE

Live Forever
Rockin’ Chair
Whatever
Fade Away [the one on Cigarettes & Alcohol single, not the HELP album]
Married With Children

Don’t Look Back In Anger
Cigarettes & Alcohol

The Masterplan
Slide Away
Half The World Away
Champagne Supernova
Supersonic

Some Might Say
Morning Glory
I Hope I Think I Know
Stay Young

Hello
Underneath The Sky

Step Out

PART THREE

Definitely Maybe

Be Here Now

PART FOUR

Worst Song: The Swamp Song

I didn't enter a ballot out of embarrassment for not organising this poll also lol ilm also busy

But that Spotify playlist has made my evening

i was more upset that you didn't submit a ballot over Turrican not submitting one. you are the one who volunteered to run this, but that might have been my fault as well. i know you said in the poll thread that you wanted to sign up but i think it was a running joke as well. this is why i took over because i didn't confirm that you would actually run it.

so were good.

Sorry to have missed the climax of the rollout, but a fun poll all the way - got me listening to these guys and having their songs stuck in my head again in a way I really would not have seen myself ever doing again. I had "Supersonic" #1 but can't complain at the results at all - - - though a bit sad "All Around the World" couldn't crack the top 50. "Some Might Say" making it to #3 is maybe the biggest surprise to me, not that I dislike it (had it at #8) but would not have figured it for a consensus pick over such celebrated cuts as "Acquiesce" (one that I never have gone for, really).

Tracks only as well:

Some Might Say
Up In the Sky
Talk Tonight
Cigarettes & Alcohol
Acquiesce
Hello
Roll With It
Hey Now!
Champagne Supernova
I Hope, I Think, I Know
Be Here Now
A Bell Will Ring

that makes a lot of sense, yeah

still funny though!

there's an interview of NG where he says that McGee went crazy when he first heard the "sunsheeeine" part and thought it was absolutely brilliant. then he says, after that, LG started to pronounce every daily word that way.

I don't mind some might say but it approaches roll with it ito out of the box poprock dirge and they were both bizarre single picks given the available depth and range available at the time

The Swamp Song

I tried to listen to BHN yesterday. oh what a mistake...
I was depressed, bored and exhausted after a few tracks and couldn't even finish it (but I made sure to check at least a part of all the songs).
it sounds terrible, the songs are terrible... awful.
I saw an interview of NG saying when they were signed, he had already written all the songs for the first 3 albums : all the best ones were put on DM, those that couldn't fit in on the first album were on What's the Story and... the remaining trash was on BHN... and you can tell !
It may have been reduced to an average single : "d'ya know what I mean" / "all around the world" (interlude) / "stand by me"...

i'm pretty sure Noel was talking about the first two albums and all the B-Sides or The Masterplan. Be Here Now is the after fame album.
