https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/music/2020/mar/05/oasis-greatest-songs-ranked After the brilliant Pulp thread, here's another. The top 30 songs by The Lads. It's wrong like, because Live Forever is probably the third best song ever written - but you can't have everything.
I grew up listening to Oasis, seen them a number of times and have lots of their songs on my playlist. Whatever Champagne Supernova Slide Away The three I enjoy the most. But there are very few s*** ones. She's Electric is one of them.
. They were ok for a couple of years. Absolutely blew us away in 93, when they first signed to Creation & opened for us at Water Rats. .
Artic monkeys were good at 1st gone **** now with all there new stuff.. take oasis out of the 90s and its a **** era
Acquiesce, Champagne Supernova, Masterplan, Live Forever & Cigarettes & Alcohol top 5 for me but not in that order.
Impossible to rank a top 30. One of my favourites Listen Up doesn’t even make that. However Live Forever will always be my number one.
I shouldn't really comment as music is, almost by definition, subjective. And I have no intention of urinating on anyone's fried potatoes. But it's also a thread that has asked for contributors opinions: I think Oasis have a lot of OK songs and not many great ones. I also think Joe Strummer's famous critique of Bruce Springsteen is much more relevant when applied to Oasis. Joe said if you don't like Bruce Springsteen you don't like Rock 'n' Roll. I think that encapsulates Oasis much better. They play Rock 'n' Roll music and they play it really well. And they write very, very good Rock 'n' Roll music. I like it, it's good, I just never thought it was that special. It's not that they went through the motions, or painted by numbers, it's much better than that, but it was a little formulaic, it was almost perfect and perfect is never anywhere near as good as imperfect; it never ends up special. But that's just my s41t arse opinion.
Music threads are fun. Never been a big Oasis fan really, but I still know most of these songs. I like a lot of them as well, actually. I just think that the band was kind of a one-trick pony. I got to admit that they did that one trick really well, but everything else was just average at best. They'd be legendary if they had quit after the first two albums. I think 'The Importance of Being Idle' should be on that list.
Cigarettes and Alcohol. Be Here Now. Columbia. Some Might Say. Don't Look Back In Anger. What's The Story Morning Glory. Rock N' Roll Star. FC ukin' in the bushes.
