I have been on a bit of an Oasis kick lately and was curious of what songs/albums everyone liked.
For me I would say (Songbird and Cigarettes & Alcohol) right now anyways.
Album would be "Heathen Chemistry"

funny story real quick. my band was going to do a one off show as an oasis tribute band about 5 years ago. we learned about 15 songs and were going to learn another 20 or so but we could not find a venue that would host us because "there is not enough demand for an oasis tribute show...." even at the places we play every month..they were all afraid of losing money because Oasis never got huge in the midwest, and they cancelled shows in my town 3 times in the 90s and were not welcomed back lol...we even had borrowed a gibson nonreverse firebird like gem plays and union jack epiphone sheraton like noel's...either way, the tunes are great and i would have loved to do that show....

Man that is too bad that your Oasis tribute didn't work out, that would have been a really cool show to put on, especially with the work you put into it.
Do you have any recommendations of an Oasis DVD that's worth watching?
as far as dvds go you really can't go wrong. live by the sea is great, its old school with their old drummer tony mccarroll. there and then is pretty good. it is a mash up of video from different shows with several funny interviews from all the original members, including guigsy and bonehead. familiar to millions is my favorite one, entire concert from wembley stadium when they were in their prime. definitely maybe is the 10 year dvd anniversary of their first album which is also pretty good. i did not care too much for lord don't slow me down though...no particular reason, i just did not like it as much as the others...

Live at barrowlands is my favourite live recording.
Lucky enough to catch Oasis a few times and the atmosphere at the gigs is unlike any other I've been to.
Good to hear people discussing songs that aren't on the first three albums. Gas Panic is one of their most underrated songs IMO.
His commentary on the Time Flies DVD is absolutely hilarious:

My wife interviewed them way back in the day when she worked for AOL's entertainment division. The two brothers and Bonehead guzzled a case of beer during the course of the hourlong session and she had to yell at them to not fight or spill any of their drinks on her computer. Other than that she said they were pretty fun to be around.
That said, I've picked up the Deluxe Editions of their first three albums. They're fantastic, and collect all of the B-sides from each release on disc 2. It's so much more convenient than hunting them all down the way I had to do in the '90s. (Sadly, the covers of Bowie's "Heroes" and Stones' "Steet Fighting Man" are not included on disc2 of the Be Here Now release, even though they were on the Stend By Me and All Around the World singles. I don't get it.)
