Pearl Jam and Oasis share a lot of song titles

Spiritual_Chaos

Better Man, Force of Nature, Supersonic. 

A bit funny.

In before "Oasis sucks"-posts.

Liam is a man child. I follow him on twitter just to see his constant attacks on his brother, calling him a potato.

Noel's solo records with the High Flying Birds have been really solid. I think there's actually a new one coming out in June, actually. 

High Fidelity 2000

That's weird. I heard some Goo Goo Dolls song on the radio earlier and it sounded just like the Oasis "gem" Don't Go Away. So that song's been stuck in my head all day. And it is awful. Lyrics sound like they were written by an 8 year old girl. "So don't go away, say that you'll stay, forever and a day, in the time of my life, cause I need more time, I need more time just to make things right." I left out something that rhymes with "way" in there but that's all I remember. Awful song. 

I do really like their album with Some Might Say.

Those first 3 oasis albums and their b-sides slayed. Pretty spotty after that, but still a great band.

three is a lot?  ok

Last I heard (which was in April), Noel said that he was aiming for a November release. Liam's solo (not expecting much, but interested to hear it) was slated to come out soon, but now it's just "later this year" too.

They had some great tunes.  And they had some danger to them.  They were never boring or safe so thats good.  A lot of mega-huge bands are.

One of my all time favorite bands. Watched the documentary on them. You know, living in a home with domestic violence, where one kid is getting the shit beat out of him will cause some issues. Brilliant and tortured.

Pearl Jam easily wins the "Better Man" battle.
Oasis easily wins the "Supersonic" battle. 
Not too sure about the "Force of Nature" battle.

Agree with you 100%. You can make a pretty solid album of about 10 songs using there post-nineties albums. Something like:

Go Let It Out
Gas Panic!
Hindu Times
Stop Crying Your Heart Out
Little By Little 
Lyla
Importance of Being Idle
Shock of the Lightning

well, that's eight plus there are other great ones but they are a bit more of an acquired taste.

Try going through U2's catalog and you'll see a lot of shared titles (or similar ones, anyway) with Pearl Jam:
Gone vs. Gone
Smile vs. Smile
The Ocean vs. Oceans
Breathe vs. Breath (or Just Breathe)
One vs. Once
Exit vs. Last Exit

I can't wait for the shitstorm that is sure to come when they make the hall of fame.

You think so? I think they'd be way way down the list.

In relation to most artists I've come across, yes.

But yes. He's a really good song writer. Enjoy his solo albums alot.

I think they deserve to get in. They made some kick ass music. Unfortunately, they weren't as popular in NA as they were in the UK so that might hurt their chances. However, whether you like them or not, their overall popularity followed a relatively similar trajectory as Pearl Jam's. I'm not saying the attitudes of the Gallagher Bros are anything like the PJ members. I'm just talking records sales, radio play, etc.

I've seen NG twice and both were very good shows (and not just when he played the old Oasis hits). Although I'd love to attended a reunion tour, Noel has no need for it. Liam, however...

Oasis sold more records than the Beatles. They are/were huge everywhere but here. Liam is a rockstar and Noel just kills it. From Definitely to Don't Believe the Truth, i'm never disappointed, especially live.

Champagne supernova is one of my all time favorite songs.  Oasis is pretty solid live.

My wife and I were in Paris at Rock en Seine on the night of their backstage fight. We initially thought it was "french humour"...the screens went blue just before they were about to come on, and the message read in French something along the lines of "Oasis will not be performing tonight." We were dumbstruck, just hoping they'd come out, but When they trotted out the old ska band Madness (who had played earlier that day on a different stage) we were absolutely gutted. Even then, we just figured it was one of their infamous spats, and that they'd make up a day or two later to finish off their tour dates in Italy. We had no idea it would be the end (hopefully it isn't).

In the days leading up to that festival, we were fortunate to attend what would be their second last show. It was at the tiny, historic, Bridlington Spa. A venue right on the ocean of the Yorkshire coast. The venue only held 3,800 people, and we were on the rail for the whole show! After seeing them many times in big venues, it was really incredible to be so close to the band in such a small venue. Based on their performance that night, nothing would have lead us to suspect that just a few days later they'd blow up like that.

Despite the awful circumstances that transpired in Paris, that trip as a whole was absolutely incredible! It was our first time in the UK and Europe. We started in Scotland, toured around Glasgow and Edinburgh before taking the train down to Manchester to see Peal Jam. It was my first time seeing PJ in many years (due to school, lack of finances, etc) and they were just incredible, opened with Long Road which was really fitting. From there we drove to Bridlington for Oasis, then flew out of Manchester to Prague to see Radiohead, on to Paris, and then back to the UK to see Radiohead headline the Reading festival. 

We always said that if Oasis played a small club in England, and if we were lucky enough to get tickets, we'd make the trip. The tickets went on sale at 2am our time, and when we lucked out, it was on! After getting the tickets, we were so excited to learn that all of our top 3 favourite bands were playing in and around the UK/Europe at that same time. It seemed like fate.

Anyways, sorry for such a long ramble, but I guess I'm just getting nostalgic as my wife and I are expecting our first child in a few weeks, so there won't be many more opportunities to travel in the foreseeable future. At least we'll have those memories from the summer of 2009!

Hope you all got to see Oasis in their heyday, they really embodied the spirit of rock n roll, and I would hope they too get into the Hall of Fame when they're eligible in 2019.

Cheers all,

Matt

You saw Pearl Jam, Oasis, and Radiohead in one trip!?!?!?! Wow! The three of them (along with U2) are my personal "Mount Rushmore" of all-time favourite bands.
BTW: Every music fan should be able to recite their own Mount Rushmore of favourite bands.

And speaking of the Hall of Fame, hopefully my favourites will continue to get inducted:
2017 - Pearl Jam
2018 - Radiohead
2019 - Oasis

Pearl Jam concerts are the best (great musicianship; surprise setlists; no bells and whistles) but I gotta say Oasis shows were always pretty fun.

Yo Matt, that's no ramble, that's a great story! Honestly, if I'd seen those three bands in the course of a week...my head would explode. Two of my favorites (eV and Ryan Adams) are playing back to back later this year and I might jump off a bridge when it's done!

yeah but oasis are shit

I love Oasis. They were a breath of fresh air when they hit in the mid '90's. I also got into Noel's High Flying Birds project and Beady Eye. The reissues of the first 3 records are pretty awesome to have as well.

And sadly, PJ is only slightly more productive with new material these days.

Quite true. The last Oasis album was released in 2008 (nine years ago). PJ released BS a year later and then only one since. 

Noel Gallagher has released two solid albums since 2011.

It's difficult to compare because it's two different countries. I can't account for US, but UK wise PJ are non existent radio wise particularly commercial (thankfully), they catch airtime on rock stations. But Oasis are homebred, they're pretty out there, they were part of that mod cult with Stone Roses, Who, Paul Weller and that indie implosion. Grunge/Alternative scene never set here, whereas all that Blur stuff is still cascading the stations to this very day! A bit like the 90s American scene is over there if I'm right in thinking?

But agree that it will hurt there hall chances, even if it is unfair I'm not really complaining, didn't like them anyway!
