Nobody said that Oasis invented the popular unreleased song, just they have many more than anyone else (imo, and possibly with the exception of the Beatles which I doubt anyone cba to check). I wouldn't even say that Just compare them to other 90s bands and bands since People want to know why oasis are special, there's no point in comparing them to what led zep did, half the country weren't born when LZ did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 5 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5 (edited) It wasn’t exactly where I was expecting the conversation to go after making that initial post. I’m sure there are numerous bands and artists whose most beloved songs are album songs, b-sides, whatever. I suppose, as they’ve been referenced with having a similar number making up their Spotify top ten, the pistols highest non single is Bodies (I think?) with currently just under 16 million listens/streams, 5th in their personal Spotify table. Just for comparative purposes, that would chart on Oasis’ table at number 48. So I suppose the argument that is being made is Oasis have a high proportion of non single songs, that gain A LOT of listens. As intimated, my interest really lay in what “new fans” view as their top picks when compared to what would have been considered fan favourites at the time. In 2005 I wouldn’t have said that Stop Crying Your Heart Out was the 4th most popular Oasis song. That was my original musing, in a nutshell.

Genie Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Updated article on this regulator probe Quote The UK competition regulator has launched an investigation into the sales of Oasis ticket sales, including how "dynamic pricing" was used. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating whether ticket selling platform Ticketmaster breached consumer protection law. Dynamic pricing meant that, on Ticketmaster, where tickets to the reunion tour were originally sold, prices rose in line with demand. The investigation will examine whether: Ticketmaster engaged in unfair commercial practices Buyers were given clear information to explain that the tickets could be subject to price rices People were put under pressure to buy tickets within a short period of time The CMA's probe follows widespread criticism of dynamic pricing over the past week from Oasis fans. Many said they ended up paying significantly more than they expected to for tickets to the band's tour next year - up to £350 per ticket, around £200 more than had been advertised. The band also said hit out at the system, saying: "It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management." I said at the time it was scandal that dynamic pricing was being used in something clearly going to generate huge demand. The tickets at £150+ to start with reflects demand. link You can see why the Gallagahers are being told to keep their mouths shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
