Oasis - Your Opinion?

Their first album is my favorite record of all time - no other album made me feel like that one did. 1994-95 they were just rock & roll perfection - the music, the antics, the attitude.....just amazing. Saw them at Sheffield Arena (their first big gig) on my 21st birthday - I was deaf for a week. "Some Might Say" was the high point for me - released just after that show. "What's the Story..." left me with mixed feelings....loved some songs, hated others. Saw them at Knebworth - not a great performance, but you just had to be there....

Then I rapidly started to lose interest. "Be Here Now" left me feeling.....nothing. And that was that - never bought another record, didn't like anything else they ever released, absolutely zero interest to me.

They were just what I wanted when I was 20-22 years old......all I wanted to do was get drunk and act like a lout - and they were the perfect role models :)

I won't have much of those as I listen to most of mine on Spotify now. I think I have cds of Death Magnetic and the self titled Metallica album. Never been a Slayer fan I'm afraid.

Dream Theater however...

Oasis you mean if my memory is correct ?

In all fairness I was maybe a bit harsh with respect to Oasis , I based it on seeing a few concert on TV where sounded average at best.

I still stand by the Blur comment though heard them a lot and every time they have been pants.

For what its worth I like both bands in question:)

Yeah, right.

Yes, The Masterplan is excellent. Beyond that, I'm not in the least bit convinced. What you mean is that you don't like Pulp or Blur.



Not sure how you figure that.

Actually I like Pulp. But yeah I don't like Blur.

As for B sides, Acquiesce, Fade Away, I Will Believe, Let's All Make Believe, Listen Up. I rate them better than most of the output from so called brit pop bands. Just an opinion squire.
 
Love them!

They done loads for British music and just about everyone that I know that plays the guitar will know how to play at least one Oasis song.
 
Best band of my generation in my opinion, I am 27 by the way. They were the best rock n roll band to come out of Britain in the last 15 years. They had the sound and the rock n roll attitude. Other bands just seem to sound the same and don't speak what they actually think.

Even though Liam's voice is ****** I am looked forward to hearing the new Beady Eye stuff and of course what Noel has to offer :)
 
dm, you even have the LA'S (there she goes :p)

oasis- early stuff was good, they were the best band in england then,
then they got big headed and went down hill

The La's album is one of the best EVER.
Every song is a gem but the writer LA Mavers didn't like the production and left the music scene until a couple of years ago when he did several gigs.

I'd also like to add just what Oasis did for British music.
At the time the charts were full of computer generated keyboard trash and Oasis put loud guitars back in the hands of British youth.
What followed was Brit Pop which was obviously guitar based and made me smile again.
This also got the fans listening to artists such as the Who, Beatles & Kinks.
Well at least an old man can appreciate what these Manchester yobs did for music.
 
I remember NME really drumming up the Blur vs Oasis angle. I was always in the Oasis camp but after the first two albums - which genuinely did shake up British music for the better - it all went a bit flakey.
