Turkish Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Odds on Oasis announcing a few stadium dates later this year? Very high i'd say and they'd sell 100,000 tickets a night too. What a great album that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan abnormal Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 What a great album that was. It was, and the rest of their discography suffered for it. Nothing came close after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 They'll get back together to do a 20 year anniversary of "What's the story morning glory?" In my opinion. Colombia is an awesome song, as is slide away. Rock and Roll star is amazing too. Probably my favourite live anyway! Seen them in Philadelphia in 2000, Rose Bowl in 05 and Wembley in 09. What a band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 It was, and the rest of their discography suffered for it. Nothing came close after that. What's the Story was very good, but not as good, that was the only thing that came close. Definitely Maybe was very much like the Stone Roses first album, not just about the music but the timing as well. The other albums all have some great songs on but none of them were class from start to finish. Love every song on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Bring it on down for me, very closely followed by live forever. What an album and era for music! The album version of Bring it on down was pretty average, I thought. There was a live version on the B-side of Shakermaker and that was properly good. Live forever is the song I'll always think of first with Definitely Maybe, but my favourite has to be Slide Away. What an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best live forever performance i saw was wembley 2000 with john lennon/quote montage in background - amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Weird to think I was 1 when this came out, yet I still listen to this album!

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Supersonic for the awesome guitar riff, Cigarettes and Alcohol for the attitude and capturing the Zeitgeist and Slide Away for a sing along. amazing album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Small world, listened to it this morning, via Spotify (hence this thread?). Great album but sounds terribly dated now, Supersonic for me. Scrolling down that same Spotify page Heathen Chemistry was the album we listened to most. Drove around France for several summers with that one in the CD stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffo Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Slide away or half the world away for me. I'd love for them to do one last tour. Could sell out wherever they wanted for however many days they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sanchez Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 I read something in a review magazine years ago and it went something like this 1st album - Wanted the World 2nd album - Seen the World 3rd album - Thought they owned the World Slide away and Supersonic are their best, Supersonic had so much attitude, only beaten by Arctic Monkeys on the dancefloor in my humble.

swannymere Posted 14 January, 2014 Share Posted 14 January, 2014 Slide Away - Always thought the treble was too high and the bass too low on Definitely Maybe. Remember picking it up from Or Price in Fareham on cassette on release day and then driving to Barcelona that night in my Fiesta with it on constantly.

Cascadia Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Gotta be Supersonic, that chorus is still killer. But Live Forever is still such a cracking song, every time I hear those opening drums it sounds so fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Still? You listened to it when you were 1? Nice try Turks! You know what I meant, although I wouldn't be surprised if I did hear it when I was 1 as my dad liked Oasis, not that I would remember that though!

pap Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Good album, and at the time, good band. Slide Away is the best tune on the album. My respect for Oasis as a band diminished when I heard the opening bars to Don't Look Back In Anger, and utterly disappeared by the time I head "The Hindu Times", the point at which they started to rip off their contemporaries (as opposed to The Beatles, etc). The Blur/Oasis and Liam/Noel stuff was of no interest to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great time that was for British Music. It was fantastic, even the very late 80's with the charlatans 'some friendly' and of course the stone roses, then 96 some great Brit pop and a very good year of English football. 96 was one of my favourite years of music.

Primal Scream, they were another one, a fantastic band in their day. I'm not so sure about it being a great year for English football, i seem to remember it was the first time i ever saw face paints inside a football stadium and suddenly being a football fan became trendy so we had all the dinlow celebrities and their fake support for clubs. In many ways it was downhill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 Supersonic has a superb bombastic riff (I saw their first TV performance on that C4 Friday night Terry Christian programme), but the lyrics are gibberish strung together because the words rhyme.

Wasn't this because of the violin sampling was a copyright they nicked, and it cost them a fortune in royalties when it was played on air? Or something like that?!
