I do like the occasional song on SOTSOF, like Go Let It Out but the band starting going downhill when Noel started letting other people write songs! It was better when he ruled the band. The quality of some of the songs on The Masterplan is fantastic and would have graced any album. Amazing to think that Whatever, Acquiesce and the Masterplan were all left off What's The Story! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 29, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2017 For me, still the last "great" band. Certainly from this country anyway. That's taking everything into account, the music, the characters, the story. Can't believe that's still the case considering it's been twenty years since they were at the peak of their powers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else has album tracks that are household names like Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova, She's Electric, Rock n Roll Star etc. Nobody, that's who. If they did another tour it would be utter carnage in the crowd, an absolute prick magnet (but I'd still go). I actually hope they don't though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are much better bands to come out of this country but they were the last truly great band imo. True rock n roll stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Doves supporting and thinking a bloke near me had died but he came round in the end. I believe Liam and Noel are both releasing solo albums this summer so can't see them getting back together any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the '97 they had the world at their feet they release a comeback single over 7 minutes long, sampling helicopters & morse code in the intro and having a chorus that doesn't kick in until around two minute-thirty mark. I'm struggling to think of many bands over the past 30 or so years who would have done that in their position. Charlie's influence or not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 on that comeback...i cant believe they didnt release dont go away in the UK, i think it would be one of their biggest songs, it would have had the same widespread radio (heart fm etc) coverage that wonderwall, dont look back in anger and stop crying your heart out gets 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were probably better bands musically in the Brit pop years but none of them had the full package like oasis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
