My favourite Oasis track by a mile 👍🏻

Noel met Paul McCartney at a party, Paul told Noel he liked "Slide Away." Paul didn't mention any other songs, that tells you something.

@@lubilou64 or Rock and Roll Star

Cigarettes and alcohol is the highlight for me but I love the album so much

Banging tune!

Absolutely

Champagne Supernova. That's *the* iconic Oasis to listen to.

Columbia is better. Raw

I agree so many elements in that song would be a good one

It’s probably one of the most epic song ever. It’s psychedelic madness, a wall of sound, the solo is a trip on its own.

One thing I appreciate now about Oasis is they had so many positive messages in their songs

You would like Supergrass. Same upbeat energy on their first three albums

This was towards Nirvana and their song "I Hate Myself and I Want to Die" from what i heard. There's a cool thing about the 90s rock which is the first half is where grunge came along and it usually had a depressing vibe, and on the second half britpop came along and it became almost a haze of happiness. It was a decade of contrasts which was cool, but i think every decade has that to an extent, for example synthpop and goth in the 80s, disco and punk in the 70s, pop rock and emo in the 00s etc. There's always two sides, and oasis was almost the opposite of Nirvana, but Noel still respected them which was cool. So this song is almost like a tribute more than a call out or a diss.

Excellent comparison and contrast critique of the musical trends of that time.

Grunge = affected existential angst on heroin. Brit Pop = euphoric exuberance on ecstasy. I know which I preferred.

The first two albums are classics.

@@tristramcoffin926 the first three albums (4 if you count masterplan) are classics

Be Here Now is severely underrated. I would give the first two albums a solid 10. BHN is a solid 8 despite the coca cola binge.

@@redsballer1904I roll Masterplan into Whats The Story, Morning Glory? as most of the tracks were added to the deluxe version. I agree though, the first three albums are fantastic. Be Here Now doesn’t get the same love, and it’s not quite as good as WTS,MG?, but it’s still amazing. I’d even put it over Definitely, Maybe although I know that’s a controversial opinion.

@@allbottledup9513me too, I honestly prefer be here now to Definitely maybe

They are good but a little too much confidence. Noel Gallagher was quoted in an interview saying Oasis is bigger than the Beatles. He later recanted that remark and said he must have been high and doesn't remember saying that. High would be an understatement.

@@HamiltonRb yea.. was waiting for a remark like this. Leave it out.

@@swaggrrman7326 Quotes from public people, good or bad, are open to discussion.

@@HamiltonRb Remember when John Lennon said the beatles were bigger than Jesus? I think Noel definitely (maybe?), had this in mind and was just fucking with everybody

Remember reading Noel or Liam saying when they played Rock and Roll Star at their earliest tiny little gigs, audiences thought they were crazy -- "Oasis was just a stupid little band, what's this "stars" shite?"

Available on KZfaq Oasis - Live Forever (live) 1996. Brilliant version and their live opus

Wish I could like this comment more than once!

1000%

YES!

What Susan said ^^^

They're best in my opinion 👍

Same

Wall of sound pretty much describes this whole album. One of my favourite albums ever

Love them. Between 10th and 11th is an incredible album.

They did Good Times on a stream and really enjoyed it, strong agree on checking out more. Driving South would be my vote for the mental guitar throughout

They need to do the first Stone Roses as an full-album reaction -- only way to really get their music

@@alexjbennett1017 I have a big soft spot for the second album, but agree the first is better as a complete whole. Do a few tasty bangers from the second one then the whole 1st as an album reaction is the way to go

Liam Gallagher says he was more gutted than the members of the Roses were when they broke up.

and Gas Panic!!

@@FocusJones true, especially live at Wembley 2000

Sarcasm?

@@jimd7260 A spot on description actually.

well said. Swagger power!

She’s So High, There’s No Other Way, Popscene, Girls & Boys, To The End

Tender, Coffee & TV , Tracy Jacks, End of a Century, Parkside, This is a Low, Beetlejuice, I'm just a Killer for your Love, Strange News from Another Star, Mr. Robinsons Quango. Just so many!

"Beetlebum" and "Chemical World" and "There's No Other Way" are essential Blur songs.

Love Oasis, love Blur. Those guys together were awesome! Long live Britpop!

Couldn’t agree more re The Stone Roses. That album is perfection.

They need to do the first Stone Roses as an full-album reaction -- only way to really get their music

@@alexjbennett1017 Good point. Wonder what they would make of the long intro to "I Wanna Be Adored." (And should that listen include "Fools Gold?" I say yes, but I picked up the album when it was added.)

@@chrisdelisle3954 exactly on both points! the album shows their entire personality, be it quirks or genius, and maps out a unique specific vision of rock

Now you're onto 90's indie, please dip into Wales' finest, The Manic Street Preachers. "Motorcycle Emptiness" would be a great starting point.

Seriously? The Verve Pipe were decent but there is no real comparison here. Try again.

Listen Up, Talk Tonight, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Dya Know What I Mean, My Big Mouth etc etc too

Gas Panic! is one of my all time favorites from them.

@@FocusJones ^a very underrated song!

I have to throw some love out to D'Ya Know What I Mean and Dirty Shirt, which I believe are in need of re-evaluation. Don't Look Back in Anger, Masterplan, and Champagne Supernova are the ones that really touch my soul.

Whatever !!

SUEDE!!!! Yes!

One of my favs who never really broke big here are the Charlatans UK. Some really cool stuff.

Suede! I was a dj in college and I swear I played Metal Mickey nonstop until the programming director asked me to stop. Same story with Pavement.

I’m 20 and I just discovered them. Wondering what I was doing before tbh 😅

More Britpop! but let's not forget Supergrass...just not 'Alright' plz, lol. 'Moving' would be a good choice IMO

Great list!

@@jayhpaq , thx, if only they would follow it and more, they would save a ton of time trying the find the really good stuff from about the mid-70’s on. A lot of it didn’t get much if any radio play here in the States. You had to try to memorize what the DJ told you while you were wasted, lol, or catch the cool late night radio show like Club X on XRT in Chicago, or stumble into a great warm-up band, or just take a flyer on a 12” single or CD. Was a labor of love for me, tho! I mean, how were you supposed to hear Devil Bunnies by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, or Don’t Have the Time by MC Buzz B?

@@privatename123 Agreed. I like you have collected this music and many others genres for a very kong time. Unfortunately (?) for A&A, they are running a successful KZfaq channel and polls rule here. Though there are many well informed music fans here, there is an equal number of narrow-minded people with limited musical knowledge which sometimes leads A&A down less than desirable paths. Overall they have done an excellent job with what they have to work with though.

As much as I love your effort and enthusiasm I don't think that they'd ever do any EBM stuff like Front 242 or Nitzer Ebb. It was hard enough for Alex to admit that the 80s were not all just about synths and that there's stuff that he liked. Suggesting bands whose music is made without any analog instruments and solely with synths and computers would give Alex the shock of a lifetime. At least if he would jump right into it without finding any appreciation for this kind of music before. This is why I suggested to try out Kraftwerk some weeks ago, because they were kind of the predecessors of all those electronic bands. You know, you need to lead them slowly on their path and not let them jump into the water without telling them how to swim. It's like when someone has never heard a metal song before and one would suggest to listen to Slayer. That would be counterproductive and scare most people off.

Lol. There was a video last month, I forget which song, where I almost posted a comment like "Andy grooving in quarter notes, Alex in eighth notes."

@@bigsby1 lol🤣 it's soo true

I was at this one. Just watching this video now made me goosebump right up kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ6gfsermcC0faM.html

Liam turned out to be quite a great lad....Noel not so much....

Met Liam a couple of years ago. He was an absolute gentlemen, completely different to what he was like in the 90’s-2000’s

Seriously consider OK Computer for a whole album hit.

THIS!

Agreed totally. Best album of that decade and far beyond. Soars like Floyd at their best but for the newer generations

As incredible as “OK Computer” is, it has unfortunately obscured how great “The Bends” is. I love both albums, but I’d argue “The Bends” is more accessible, especially on a first listen, so Alex & Andy should start there, maybe with “(Nice Dream),” “Just,” or the title track. My (not yet at the time) wife and I saw Radiohead at an outdoor concert in the late 2000s (I think 2008) in torrential rain. We got there early, but the roads washed out and the dirt parking lots flooded, so people were still arriving more than an hour into the show. It didn’t matter if you were under the roof; you were getting soaked.. Even the stage was hit by sheets of rain. About 2 hours in, Thom Yorke stopped the show to thank everyone for coming out, and said that the band appreciated it so much they were going to play a song they hadn’t played in concert in many years. When the first notes of “Fake Plastic Trees” rang out, the crowd erupted. When we got back to our car, we managed to move forward about 3/4 of a car-length and then didn’t budge an inch for more than 90 minutes. We were only about 25 minutes from home but didn’t make it back until after 2:00. It was worth it.

Ah yes, The Bends is also great. I saw them on a Friday in a small Glasgow venue of no more than about 1,000 people and it was fantastic. I bought the Bends on the Monday and played it non stop. 2 years or so later I saw them again on the main Glastonbury stage and that's now regarded as a Glasto classic gig so yes, I highly recommend both albums.

They should do a separate movie channel.

Northern English*** British is a very diverse group of people's, accents and dialects The original British were Welsh and Cornish Celts lest we forget

What's british about maybe?? They only did it on two songs.

I think neither Liam or Noel couldn't give two fucks what anyone thinks on the subject! As they went x7 Platinum they could even be an argument they even know more than these clowns on the subject! 🖕🏼 from the Gallaghers, with love!
