The Official Oasis Thread (lyrics, favorite bands, single, albums, beatles)

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

You still have time to play your 'Guilty Pleasure' joker.

[CutiePants]

LMAO! I think I'll save that!!!!!!!!!! It's not worth wasting on one of my favorite bands! : )

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

I salute your loyalty














And dread to think what you might actually play it on

[CutiePants]

and i'm from the US, California at that, my loyalty should be saluted! : ) thanks Urban!

guilty pleasure? she's over 18. Why should I feel guilty about the pleasure I get from masturbating to her videos?

Angst is the new big tits.

When held up against the first two Oasis definitely fell with the third album. In comparison its lyrically uninspired in places I feel and even Noel has described it as a "swindle" on many occasions, clearly unhappy with what it became which was more than likely the result of a band on a constant high from the success of the first two records and of course consistently smashed off their tits. The fact Noel dished out instructions to remain completely sober throughout the recording of the next one could have even been as a direct result of Be Here Now.

However, I also think its a little harder and maybe even a little edgier in places, especially when compared to Morning Glory and I actually quite like it. I really dig Dont Go Away, Magic Pie, I Hope I Think I Know etc.

don't go away is one of my all time faves....

I'm no critic by any means but I love Oasis and really have never disliked anything they've done. some songs/albums i don't listen to as much as others because i have favorites that i crave to hear but i certainly do not dislike anything Oasis has ever done.

personally i feel (What's the Story) Morning Glory is the ONLY thing a lot of Americans know so I try to pimp other stuff if i can but it's hard.

Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Morning Glory are the only songs that our radio stations play (on very rare occasion) and they seem to always be played on "Flashback Weekends".

In the group I hang out with the most now...i.e. my bf's friends, i'm considered "different" for the music i like....even when it comes to Oasis.....*rolleyes* it can be maddening at times, i ususlly just pour another drink and forget that this is the tenth Jimmy Buffett or Toby Keith song I've heard tonight.....*gag me*

I just don't see anything original about ripping off the Kinks and the Small Faces and the Stone Roses, which is pretty much Oasis' career to date, without any of the finesse associated with "Lola" or "Waterloo Sunset".

true speak, throw some Sex Pistols in there too. they're like a Beatles tribute act alot of the time aswell, but with more power chords. I'd still say they are an honest and prolific institution, though I haven't listened to them for aeons, and why bother?.

'the importance of being idle' at least had that tribute to the 'dead end street' promo ...

Best album imo is Morning Glory, simply for the memories attached to the songs on it, though I gag at Wonderwall', every time.
Worst album - Be Here Now. To quote N.G 'there's no bass, all the lyrics are ****, and for every minute Liam isn't singing there's a guitar solo'

and they weren't exactly Blur were they ...?

Hey, you know what, I'm certainly not a Blur expert nor am I expert on anything really but I also am no snob and don't pretend to know how "important" Oasis was/is or for that matter never have been or how they compare to other Brittish bands.

All I know is that I like them and there are a lot of pretentious people on this site.

The Blur reference was a bit of a joke, at the height of 'Britpop' in the mid-90's there was a media-fuelled 'rivalry' between the two bands, they both released singles on the same day at the height of their fame, slagged eachother off in interviews, etc.
When I was growing up all the kids had to have a favourite, you were either a Blur or an Oasis kid.
as for the indirect I think it's unfair to start calling people pretentious snobs, I'm just really into music (thanks to bands like Oasis actually) and like to talk about more than just a catchy melody, sorry for offending your tastes
