I’ll take “didn’t live up to all the bluster” over “the band who wrote Yellow.”

But… look at the stars!

oasis had some great songs though, all jokes aside. if you figured out the sequencing properly there’s an amazing album with these little beauties:

d’you know what i mean
gas panic
wonderwall (fuck you it’s great)
supersonic
married with children
slide away
listen up
go let it out
talk tonight
whatever
half the world away

And at their height they could waste things like Acquiesce as B-sides.

yeah! in fact just realised a few of those were b-sides and ‘whatever’ (whatever!) was a one-off single.

They definitely had potential for another great studio album under their belt, unfortunately they pissed it all away on B-sides.

Probably wouldn’t have been the ‘Sgt. Peppers of the 90s’ that everyone hoped for, but probably would’ve been decent.

Yellow is basically the middle of Fake Plastic Trees with different singing also I think its more likely both Hindu Times and Same Size Feet ripped off Does Your Mother Know. The whole Coldplay/Travis new acoustic movement scene was a by-product from the success of Wonderwall so Coldplay sort of owe their career to Oasis.

The aggressive bit or… ?

just can’t conceive of a world where someone who doesn’t seem like a jerk tells me oasis are better than pulp

OASIS BCUS SUPERSONIC MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE SONGS THAT UNITE GENEROUS OF SAD AND DEPRESSED PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM FEEL IMPORTANT AND THAT THEIR LIVES HAVE FEELING AND WHEN YOU SING SUPERSONIC IN THE PUB AND EVERYONE’S JUMPING AROUND LET’S NOT LIE IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE.

YOU GOTTA BE YOURSELF

THAT BEING SAID BLUR ARE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME

ANYWAY HOW ABOUT THOSE DRONES EH?
