[Clayton Bantam]

Wonderwall is one of my favorite anthems.
I like some of the other tracks, Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, especially.

They don't particularly rock my boat though.

[Parrot]

Loved Oasis for 2 albums, the rest is ordinary really:(

Unfortunately now they're seen (rightly or wrongly) as Chavish as Burberrytdwn:

[1911]

They are only bring this out to use up the number of albums they have to do in their current record deal.

I've got all their other stuff including all the singles so i'll still buy it but for someone who hasn't got their other stuff, just get a mate to do you a copy of all their best songs on one cd for you and save your money.

[dollyblue]

Agreed its a top album and will certainly top the charts at xmas. I hope I get it in my stocking this year.

[tony d]

Who would of thought that Oasis and Take That would be slugging it out in this day and age lol...

I will defo get it i reckon... Oasis are still top draw for me....

Saw Noel on Parky the other day and he was pure class...No regrets of what he has done which was a breath of fresh air in stead of the whole denial thing...

Their shit music is still better than most of the groups of the past or in the presents good stuff IMHO....

Each to their own like.....Maybe the hard rocking tracks have gone as the drugs have gone...It would make sense

[Johnny Yen]

Yes, Oasis a band that always commanded more airplay than most in my home and car.

Only today was I blasting out born on a differant cloud out in the car.

Anyway, one criticism of them that stopped them moving up into the class of supergroup from great band, is that they never seem to adapt and evolve the sound they started with, their first album is very much alike their last album.

Tried and tested formula Yenster. They know they'll shift the records and sell out the shows doing what they are good at. If you cast your mind back to the late 90's U2, who are a band over a period of 25 years have managed to do what nobody else has and consistently moved the records and concert tickets, decided to have a bit of a flirt with dance beats etc. The result of this was their POP album which resulted in not so good sales and to them playing half empty venues in the States. I went to their Roundhay Park Show on that tour and they stank. Next album, back to the tried and tested Rock formula, back to the millions sales and sold out stadiums the World over. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Oasis are popular because they are Oasis. If they stopped being Oasis and got all arty farty, they'd not be as popular and fortunately Noel Gallagher has the common sense to realise this.

That's right, if you can't do it then don't.
U2 and Oasis (i'm not a big fan of U2) can't do what the Stones, Pink Floyd and the true greats of Modern Music the Beatles have. If the Beatles stayed with the Merseybeat, they'd have been just a big early sixties fad. However they didn't need any tried and tested formulae to sell records, they changed and adpated their music and whatever they produced, it sold , because the writing partnership of Lennon and McCartney and a little from Harrison and Star ( On Abbey road) was sublime, and that was over a mere ten year period ! astounding.

Yep, Oasis and U2 great entertainers, sell out concerts halls all over the world. But in the lengendary class, no way.

See to me U2 Oasis RHCP Green day and a few more are...

I thankfully never bought into the Beatles or Elvis as the musical greats others see...

Now im not getting into a bun fight over this but to me they just were in the right place at the right time....Others doing the same thing had SOME better records but at the end of the day were not called The Beatles...

Now if you loved em fine but others from that era for me produced better music of my liking...

Just as those above do now and have done for a while...

Thats what makes music fun....The options it gives you ....

Thank god my parents didnt do the fulll on Beatles thing lol..

[Johnny Yen]

Yep, it's all opinion Tony, and at the end of the day, it's what's pleasing on the ear.

Thankfully I have a huge range of musical tastes and just love some of the stuff about at the moment ( James Blunt excepted !! haha ) However I put the Beatles up there at the top of the music tree.

Don't you think Liam is a John Lennon wannabee :-)

[tony d]

No they love the Beatles of that everyone knows but Noel is the brains of the group...He probaly think he is more Lennon like...

Their sounds are influenced but very different as The Beatles were to their influences...

Liam is Liam...He is a product of his own making.......

You can claim they stole this and that all the way back to the begining i reckon...

Out of all those bands you mention, only Pink Floyd can match the U2 for consistency over a prolonged amount of time of being popular enogh to shift the records and put the bums on seats. And thats probably as much to do with the fact Floyd hardly tour, they haven't been on the rioad since 94. I think the major consistency U2 have shown over 25 years is enough to give them legendary status. Of course not in the same class as the Beatles, their contribution to history, not just Music is assured to live on forever. Which brings me on to my despair of the record buying public. On the week Oasis, U2 The Beatles and Westlife all release a compilation album on the same day, which fecker gets to Number One?? Fecking Westlife!! That's who!!

[tony d]

Surely Westlife through their record sales alone will in their own right achieve legendary staus...

We may hate em but millions do not...That is the strange thing about musical taste..

Do they not hold th record for no 1s or something...

Hmm Perhaps, However I see a lot of the late eighty Manchester bands in his stage performances, and a lot of Lennons gravelly vocal (more 'stand by me' not Imagine) sounds to his voice.

Still, he carries the pretentious rock and roll star with attitude off to a tee, and it's part of what makes Oasis endearing in a bizarre way, still up there as a great live rock and roll band to see for a great night out, just like the Rolling Stones are, now we are talking class!!
The sexiest band ever, the musical answer to viagra.

Saw the Stones at Don Valley in 95. They were awesome. I said at the time they'd not maintain that for much longer and here they are thirteen years still doing the same. The can't sell many records though nowadays.

[king billy]

The album will sell well and i too will buy it because it stops you fekkin about swapping CD's......good to see "Roll with it", the shittest song they ever made aint on it too.....tup:

Late big venue I went to was to see the Floyd back in 1988 at Maine Road.

Since then I just try and see the big or lesser known bands at smaller venues, I don't like the huge venue stuff, It feels too inpersonal.

I used to like the Town and Country in Leeds, 'Echo and the Bunnymen' were disappointing there ,whilst I remember seing Catatonia there and Miss Matthews had bundles of energy ( learnt later she was a smack head, so that perhaps explains it). And the Cock-pit, I saw a band there called 'the Veils' a few years back, if they ever get a lucky break they would break into the mainstream and do very well.

How you seen the 'Australian Pink Floyd' play, they're back at Georges hall in Aprill. Not the real thing however they've a very tight production and worth seeing.

[ChuckleBantam]

Have pencilled in the Australian Pink Floyd show already. I sadly only got into Floyd in a big way about five years ago, so the chance to see them tour looks to have gone. Town and Country Club in Leeds was a top venue. I saw Big Country there just before Stuart Adamson topped himsen the gig was in May and he'd hung himself the following Christmas. It's a fooking shit nightclub now called Creation. What a waste of a top venue. Bradford has always lacked a Town and Country type venue, because Georges Hall (IMHO Of course) is shit for gigs. Leeds needs an Arena al la Sheffield and Manchester and Bradford a Town and country/Cockpit type venue. They could stick it on Millenium Square instead of that stupid Fecking Lake.

[panther]

just jumping in on this one for a moment - my tast in music is so varied its unbelievable - I will buy an Album of someone I have never heard of just because I like a particular song ! how sad is that ! Nine times out of ten it ends up well worth the money.

Oasis - yep we have more than our fair share of their stuff here - although most of it belongs to the lads. I adore listening to most of it and I too saw the interview on Parky last Saturday - thought it was very honest !

U2 - until recently I have never been a U2 fan but the more I hear of their music the more I like it - talk about success story !

Westlife - yep love them as well and got a lot of their stuff !

Im still writing the list for Christmas for the CD's I want - not got an IPOD yet im afraid !! lol

Agree totally with T and C! Top venue!

Went to see Richard Ashcroft, Shed 7 and Supergrass there.

There isn't mny decent gig venues of that calibur a stone throw away anymore.

The most common venue these days is the refectory at Leeds Met. Been to see a lot of bands here of recent times.

Personally Leeds Uni "Star Bar" is a better venue. Saw The Hives there and they were fantastic!

Blank Canvas is decent too, but hardly ever used. Saw the Subways there. Atmosphere was really good, and surprisingly easy to get to the bar.

The Refectory is by far the worse venue I've ever been to. Everything from the sound, the Layout, to the Bars and the toilets are second class. I've done the Who, The Charlatans and The Beautiful South there in the last eighteen months or so and everytime the gigs were spoiled by the shiteness of the venue. It'll have to be someone I desperately want to see to get me there again.

[Rambo]

The Refectory is shit! Queueing for the shit stained wall bogs is horrific.

It seems that this is the place where most bands are booked for.

Bring back the T and C!!

[ChuckleBantam]

The Refectory is shit! Queueing for the shit stained wall bogs is horrific.

And that's not taking into account the fecking 20 Mile Hike to get to the feckers.

[Jantje simoen]

The only bands i've seen at the T&C were Muse & Live....Top venue imo, shame its no longer used . Seen a few up at the Uni but its not as good & the sound was crap

[ChuckleBantam]

Muse at the T&C..I'm impressed! Not as impressive as the time King Billy saw Oasis in A crushed paper coffee cup in a litterbin in Oswestry though.
