Why are this band hated so much? The singer is a twat but they're released some great music. Overrated, probably - especially by the British press. But their early stuff is great and they've got a fucking attitude, unlike these emtionless dweebs that are classed music these days in the UK.

    I love Oasis. Particularly the first two albums. SOTSOG and Be Here now are decent too. Their other albums are hit and miss, but the hits among them are very good. That said, these days Liam's voice has gone to shit. I always preferred Noel as a singer anyway.
    Why the get so much flak is beyond me.

    I always figured they'd be more liked if Liam wasn't in the band. Not just cos he's an idiot, but Noel's a far superiour singer and songwriter.

    their first three albums are great. be here now i can see somebody not liking, but how can any rock and roll fan really argue with definitely maybe or morning glory? just great great rock albums. their songs are very catchy and melodic. great band, even though their frontman isnt such a nice person.

    Liam's writing songs these days. I think he had 3 on the last album. He's evolved from the days when all he could play was a tambourine.

    I love them.

    I was a fan at the beginning and then I joined in the backlash......years later I found out that I was really missing out on them. I really do not understand why some people still hate them.

    "dont look back in anger" is one of the greatest songs of all time, in my opinion.

    People just don't get the Gallgher's sense of humor. Both Noel and Liam are very funny guys. They don't take the media seriously and say whatever over the top thing that they can think of.

    what are everyone's fav songs? i'm still discovering some of their stuff so i hope to come across some goodies

    here are mine so far:

    some might say
    don't look back in anger
    live forever
    cast no shadow
    acquiesce
    morning glory
    songbird
    slide away
    magic pie
    the masterplan
    talk tonight
    the importance of being idle
    gas panic

    cant argue any of those. you have to get some from be here now though. underrated album. my faves off that are:
    stand by me
    don't go away
    all around the world

    also, rock n roll star off definitely maybe is a great song.

    ya i'm actually quite familiar with be Here now...bought that the summer it came out because of "d'you know what i mean"

    it's The Masterplan, Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants and Heathen Chemistry, and Don't Believe the Truth aka all their new stuff that i don't know too much from yet haha

    i love them. ive heard they are nothing special live tho. id still love to see them.

    they're Godlike! Love Liam & Noel because they're both funny as hell evry one of them in their own way. By the way they got an attitude & character that matched the Rock'N'Roll they're producing.

    I say this as a non-Oasis fan. I liked the 1st two albums, but they've never been a favourite of mine.
    But, saw them live at Manchester City's football ground, Main Road when they were in their 'prime' around '96ish.
    They had Cast, Ocean Colour Scene & (making their comeback) Manic Street Preachers as suppost.
    Fantastic show.
    Back then, can't speak for how they are now, they just had that certain aura about them. Liam just walked out on stage and 60,000 people just went nuts.
    They certainly hit all the right notes that night, it was a very memorable show.
    Perhaps as the years have gone by the whole swaggering image thing has worn a bit thin and that the style was outweighing the content.
    But after the 1st two albums they were magnificent.

    I like Oasis. I think the fact that they are so overrated is actually somewhat charming. They have a good rock and roll personality and they try their best to live up to it. Liam and Noel are just good characters in rock. They have been like this from the beginning, and some of the stuff they say and do is so outlandish that you have to believe they don't even believe the BS they throw out there. But I enjoy their music.

    My favorite songs of theirs are
    Columbia
    Meaning of Soul
    Some Might Say
    Rock and Roll Star
    Hello


    I group them into a category with Kings of Leon where I have no idea what their songs are supposed to mean- I just like the sound even though the lyrics might be dumb

    They've been one of my favorites ever since I heard Live Forever on the radio back in the day. Like everyone has said, they are just a damn good rock n roll band. The first three albums are magnificient....I put Be Here Now right up there with the other two. The albums are kind of hit or miss after that I think, but still damn good stuff in large. Oasis is one of those bands whose new stuff I buy regardless without any question....one of those I'm always anxioius to hear from

    As far as the disdain so many have for them, I've never understood. Personally, I like the rock n roll guys to be assholes and have constant tension going on, there's just something interesting about it....just seems like that even makes them more rock n roll. Liam is indeed a jackass and Noel is indeed the brains of the group. I really think they would be just as good if Liam quit all together, but they surely wouldn't be as interesting. Perhaps they are a tad overrated in Britain, but I wouldn't say that's the case over here.

    I've never had the opportunity to see them live, but I would love to based on the two dvds I have and often crank up late on Saturday nights when just a few stragglers are still hanging around
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Too many great ones to really say. They have made such a large quantity of good music. Off the top of my head though.......Gas Panic, Columbia, Champagne Supernova, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Some Might Say

    very talented, but they put a lot of filler on those records

    aside from whats the story, I find only a few songs on each record that I like.

    the catalog could be condensed into about 3-4 really good records

    plus, it would be nice if they were just a bit more enthusiatic about playing live shows in the US (not to mention playing some smaller venues where its not about the $$$$$$$$$$$)
  • LONGRDLONGRD Posts: 6,036
    I have Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, Be Here Now, Masterplan, and Heathen Chemistry.

    Be Here Now was the album that drove me away. DM, MG & MP are great Cd's though.

    I agree, I found myself preferring Noel's vocals to Liam's some years ago...However Liam is still a fuckin' great singer and he IS the main frontman of the band:) Yes, he seems a terrible prick but I wouldn't like him to leave the band!


    I don't hate them at all, I DO like their music but I still think Blur's discography is more unique, colourful, innovative and precious, I miss them SO MUCH - Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are as fuckin' gifted musicians as Richard Ashcroft and Nick McCabe!!!
