Favourite song... Rock 'N' Roll Star!

That is so true! Wonderwall was my leavers year theme song. I think they've made some great records, it's a shame Liam and Noel don't get along band-wise.

I don't think so, Liam is touring at the moment with his own band. Noel will never settle down for a reunion.

Noel seems to be doing fine on his own, though I could see Liam trying to make a reunion happen once the whole touring cycle finishes for Beady Eye.

please, don't even suggest Oasis get back together. That would be the end of the world.

For a band who had 2 good albums, it is amazing how people hold them up so high. Gives hope to all the Beatles wannabes out there.

To be fair, those two albums were two of the definitive albums of their genre (and, in my opinion, still hold up wonderfully today). That being said, I wouldn't necessarily want the band to get back together and make more music. I would, however, be supportive of a reunion tour, at least if it focused on the band's early material.

A family reunion - more likely.

Noel doing a good bit of touring right now too. Loving his latest album so much. You'd probably love it too, if you haven't already checked it out.

She's Electric is completely fantastic, and doesn't seem to get mentioned nearly enough when talking about the band's best songs.

Was anyone else here a big fan of Oasis? Most people either love 'em or hate 'em. I'm pretty sure most people know at least a few of their more popular songs, but if nobody does I'll post the links to some. My favorites would have to be Live Forever (hence my avatar lol), Slide Away, Columbia, Listen Up... the list goes on.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of the 'great' classic rock bands and have been wondering where Oasis fits in with any kind of 'greatest bands of all time' lists. Critics in the UK seem to over-applaud them for bringing traditional rock n roll back to mainstream radio in the 90s, but critics in the US barely acknowledge them, and if they do, they usually say Oasis tried to copy the Beatles songwriting and really brought nothing new to rock music. I don't know where the middle ground is between these opinions, but when I listen to great bands like The Who or Pink Floyd (I dunno, those just came to mind), I always wonder where Oasis fits in with the consensus of what people think are the greatest rock bands.

I like to at least think their 1995 album (What's the Story) Morning Glory ranks right up there with some of the greatest rock albums ever. But then again, maybe all those summer days of high school driving around and singing 'Wonderwall' with my friends has left me a bit biased....

Fans? Haters? Opinons?
