Worst/most cringeworthy lyric on Oasis' 'Be Here Now'

Britpop was full of god-awful lyrics, but Spandau Ballet's are the standard of shit lyrics that have yet to be beaten, IMO.

this is so wrong

"Stealing cake to eat the moon"? "Loving makes the cream taste nice"? "It's my instinction"? I rest my case!

Don't forget the Beatles revival in '95 and '96, which tremendously helped these fools.

Classic thread: Gold: The Spandau Ballet Singles Poll

i remember the incredulous looks the presenter(was it jo whiley?) gave justine when she answered her question "have you heard this miles davis album?" and justine gave a "oh yeah" reply.

Geldof was unbelievably obnoxious. Nothing was better than dylan or the beatles etc for him. I dont think he liked any music post-70s

alfred sadly its the other way around

in the uk anyway. it sparked off a massive revival to young people. Previously it was only the over 35s who cared about them.

bob geldof and justine from elastica were on the tv panel discussing the countdown. they argued a lot

Yup, this is correct. Oasis' success in the UK came before the Beatles' Anthology thing, and Noel Gallagher's relentless championing of the Beatles, coupled with the timing of the Anthology documentary being aired on UK TV, helped to expose the Beatles to a younger generation.

"you cant compare modern music to the classics like dylan" said bob geldof

And implicitly this classic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENKDEHQTq1c

Noel Gallagher's relentless championing of the Beatles, coupled with the timing of the Anthology documentary being aired on UK TV, helped to expose the Beatles to a younger generation.

Because they were utterly unheard until then?

Just been reminded that Bob Geldof was REALLY VISIBLY ANGRY that the stone roses beat all his fave 60s and 70s classic albums.

ned they were an old peoples thing or a indie kid thing at best. seriously no young person gave a shit about the beatles back then til oasis. I got funny looks when i was like 17 and liked them. Now every young kid loves the beatles and abba

This might be a US/UK thing then.

Surely there was plenty of young interest in the late 80s - CD issues in 1987.

Yeah that's when there was a definite wave over here.

a lot of young folk didnt have cds then. Plus it wasnt to the same extent of post oasis. we're talking 13 year olds here getting into the beatles.

I was the first in the whole school to get one (well my parents got one) according to my mate i just asked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT1U8WOGU0w

even back then i wondered how sincere any of those Q lists really were, hard to imagine a bunch of ppl who think radiohead and oasis made the 4th and 5th best albums of all time actually digging 'astral weeks' all that much, let alone 'trout mask replica.'

Yup, pretty much this. In the '90s young people (unless they were serious, serious music geeks) didn't really give much of a shit about The Beatles. They were seen as somewhat "old hat". The success of Oasis/Britpop made it okay for young people to like The Beatles.

I still own that copy of Q

...bought at a Virgin Megastore

I remember laughing out loud when I read the no.1 album in the 1998 Q list. I mean, I liked it, but jesus. It was like 6 months after it came out.

J.D. I think people felt they *had* to like those albums because they were always in the lists. So when they made lists they *had* to include them.

i still know where that copy of q is at my parents' house :D

I haven't even fucking heard Astral Weeks!

the impressive thing is that there are like a hundred songs called 'all around the world' and oasis's still might be the worst.

Even compared to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUqaRQB6OgI
or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9eNQZbjpJk ?

imagos rundown is a bit clueless tho tbh
