I listened to a couple of tracks of that. Seems like DJ Shadow to me with a lady singer. Not bad. But better heard in a film like fight club than just listened to. FWIW, the 66 year old's view: Portishead - meh, dull. Oasis - sounded fantastic on the first few listens, a refreshing return to guitar rock. But on repeated listens, irritating as all hell.

Nobody on here has ever said they were original or reinvented the wheel. They didn't. However, Oasis do mean an awful lot to a large portion of my generation and quite a few people on here as well. Next you'll be saying you don't rate the Beatles! p.s I quite like Portishead. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand wading into a mature conversation about oasis and saying "they're shit, listen to this instead" Some Oasis stuff I'm not keen on. It takes a lot to like them as people, but I was in the right time to LOVE them unconditionally. Since them, nothing comes to close to my ears unfortunately.. as limiting as it is 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 22, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2020 I've probably seen Oasis more times than most on here btw, we even put them on 3 times In fact the anniversary of one of those shows will be in 9 days time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have predicted that would be your opinion Their Thrid studio album "Third" is actually my favourite much more "krauty". I still hold out hope of a fourth, they didn't rule it out last year and there was ten years between the second and third, it's only been 12 since Third 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I just listened to their second last night as I was going to sleep after not having listened to any of their stuff for many months. I still remember first hearing them when National Public Radio did a short segment on this new sound coming out of England, and thinking "That's really cool and different."

Machine Gun is still as impactful all these years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Oasis you can see the influences. “We Carry on” is Silver Apples “Oscillations”, er, inspired,for example. They released a track called “chase the tear“ after Third. It’s the song I’ve heard most in the last however many years, as it’s the one I’ve set on my iPad as the alarm clock. Also, I really like some Oasis stuff. Nice one, sorted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard that before. Amnesty International single from 2010. Bit Kraftwerky (Trans Europe Express / Autobahn - not the vocals obvs), I like it They did actually do a fantastic cover of SOS by ABBA for some movie called High Rise soundtrack a few years ago (it couldn't be further from an ABBA track if it tried) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like this though (possibly), same singer Beth Gibbons with Paul Webb (Bass player with Talk Talk) Rustin Man. The first Album has Beth singing throughout, the second Rustin Man album doesn't feature her at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive Attack may have been first (Geoff Barrow was actually their tape op) but this took the "Bristol Sound" in a different diection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
