I hate it (absolutely hate it), but I don't really like anything else - how dull is that? There are songs I really like, but I can't just listen to anything else, like I can Oasis. "First two albums" is what you hear a lot of, but then some of my faves are things like Masterplan She is Love Gas Panic! Alone on the rope everybody's on the run a simple game of genius lord shine a light on me the river all you're dreaming of Once Dig out your soul stop crying your heart out holy mountain (that's as pop-y as I like them) Don't go away d'you know what I mean flashbax long way road All of those are post whats the story. The lyrics have never really mattered to me, I've always just loved the melodies and that I can kinda eek out a decent impression of them! But I'm a saddo. I watch interviews and all sorts of shit. I've seen Oasis 3/4 times and Noel once. I'm a non-super-super-fan See, it's a bit of a shame that no other artist has grabbed you like that, but its terrific that you found at least one that did. Many people never have that. I still find it baffling though 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They became more obviously a Beatles tribute act later on… lost a bit of their edge. I think Noel always underestimated how important the other band members were to the sound. He just wanted to chill and for the others to take responsibility and write some tunes. There are loads of interviews of him around standing on the shoulders of giants in 1999/2000 AND heathen chemistry in 2002 saying "I'd love it if Liam wrote more songs" and he did, like.. Little James (less said the better) and song bird (which I'm not that fond of, but it was a single people liked at the time). It just never really happened.

He's 6 years older than me and had a cd player in his room, which woke me up with Oasis every single morning as a kid It was way cooler than Supertramp or Abba (parent's choice!).

What I meant is a lot of the earlier songs were Noel’s basic idea but the final piece was a group effort. They were composed in big jam sessions rather than one person hiding away and writing a finished song. You can hear the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I reckon I could fill one side of a C90 of their stuff, 13 tracks if memory serves and not be sick listening to it. I know I am ok with the Masterplan, I know that, Importance of being idle is acceptable too. I even come close to liking the unplugged version of Some might say, which has Noel on vocals. Dont look back in anger before it got over played was good. I think I could get 13 tracks that didnt repulse me, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I could never get past the 'rock god' posturing and didn't realise they wrote good songs until I heard cover versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I don't know whether watching this might give people a different perspective on Noel in particular. The pre and post cocaine versions of the brothers are markedly different and they're both decent elder statesmen of British indie these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2022 I’ve said this before I think but Noel was a nice bloke and gave me a hand with a few boxes when he was the Inspiral Carpets roadie. The gig was at Strathclyde Uni before even the Inspirals were that big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody uses those chord sequences, and I’m sure the Beatles weren’t first either. The Beatles also made about a million songs so every other act has some similar sounding tracks.

But the feud seems to have opened up again. Same. Noel doesn’t like Liam, because he’s a nob but also because of what he said many times about his wife. Noel has also said he doesn’t like how Oasis fans were at the end (yobbish). There’s no signs of him softening on this stance as he denied Liam use of Oasis songs in the documentary As It Was a year or 2 ago and even blocked broadcast of any Oasis tracks in this summers Knebworth documentary. Liams fiancé said that Liam had reached out to Noel a couple of times but Noel wasn’t interest at all, even when Liam had financial issues Noel didn’t care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They borrowed a lot of the chord progressions and songwriting ideas from the Beatles, but the sound owed much more to shoegaze bands like Ride and the big Manchester bands like the Stone Roses. I don't think the Beatles ever made a song like Slide Away or Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first album sounds a lot less Beatles-y, except for maybe Married with Children. I think it's a really really good album... brainless pub rock at its finest. People take music too seriously sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
