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

The boy with the blues?

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

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

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

6. I'm Outta Time 84 2
7. Stand by Me 83 2 1 Number One
8. Roll With It 81 2
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

er wait no I guess Liam sings Cast No Shadow?

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

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

just about ready to go again.

can't believe i messed up.

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

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

i somehow eliminated it when i was editing the spreadsheet.

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

3. The Masterplan
Compilation album
Released: 3 November 1998
490 Points, 11 Votes, 2 Number Ones

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.

yeah it was my no. 1 album

this song barely made my ballot, glad to see my vote got it into the Top 50.

My albums ballot would have looked exactly like the final result, to be fair, but with nothing after 1998 on it.

my number one!
