Had this disscussion earlier today. Next year marks 10 years since the release of Definitley Maybe, surely a Best of Oasis album would be in order. Blur did one a few years back and they haven't had anywhere near as many top tracks.
Anyone else like this idea? And if so are there any particular tracks you'd like to see?

absolutely NO!
a best of/greatest hits contributes nothing.. to no one except the record companies.
i also disliked the idea of beatles songs being collected on hundreds of best of compilations

why realse a best off, cos all good fans should and probobly do have all oasis stuff anyway. youd just be wasting £12 on stuff you already have.

I suppose, I just always like the idea of having a CD with the definitive best of a group on it...then again most people use kazaa for that...

in my opinion, a lot of people miss the point of Greatest Hits albums, or Best of's.
they're not released for the likes of us - they're not meant for the dedicated fan who has all the albums, knows all the songs etc...
They are meant for people who have maybe one or two albums, know a couple of songs - the casual fans, parents, young kids....
Such compilations are designed to showcase a bands' best material to people who might be interested. And if just one person buys a greatest hits album, then goes on to become a huge fan of a band, buy all their albums etc. then its worthwhile
i hate the 'selling out' arguement. sure the record companies want money - but get over it, we live in a free world. you don't have to buy the CD.
you don't like it? go live in north korea ;D
having said all that - no, i don't want to see an Oasis best of - its too early

yeah DS is rite its too early. and i hate that selling out arguement as well. even if you do something you love, you'll want something out of it i.e. money.
they should release a best of when they're finished or close to finished which isn't gonna be soon.
the only compilation i see is another b-side one, or maybe they should just give it as a bonus with the new album

NO!
liam has so many bad points but he is dedicated to his band.
he wont let fat boy remix his songs, and i bet he could make them a pile of money but he says "fuck off" dont touch the finished product.
i admire that about liam.
oasis are different from all the others on the market and throwing out a best off for the x-mas casual fans would be well timed....ETC.
me, i never buy those albums by my heroes, i dont think oasis should do it untill they are no more!
if you like them then get in to them, discover them, buy an album, though i have no objection to the b-sides albums being released coz there are hidden jems in there.
"lets all make believe" what a classic!

best ofs are usually a collection of more or less successfu singles, right.
if people dont like what they got on radio/TV they most likely won't give any money for a compilation.
greatest hits records lack a certain train of thought good albums have.
there's no point in combining C&A (do the white line) and WFL? (found what i'd lost inside)

And if just one person buys a greatest hits album, then goes on to become a huge fan of a band, buy all their albums etc. then its worthwhile I see both sides of it. This point that you mention does happen and is what most music companies would love to see, but they also have bands do greatest hits when they really don't have any new material to put out. I think i heard somewhere that No Doubt was putting out a Greatest Hits. I'm sorry I didn't think they had enough great songs to even make one?  Yeah Oasis needs to put out a few more albums before they hit the Greatest Hits marker. |

I dont like the idea of a greatest hits album because it seems a bit sinister. I mean unless they made it a greatest hits volume 1 or something. For me it would be depressing because it would seem like the end.

I bought the best of The Jam today, and the only reason I bought that is because I had some interest in the band and solo Weller stuff, (f**k The Style Council off) but wanted convincing. I haven't listened to it all yet but Im already liking whats on it. If all the album is this good I will probably start buying the 'proper' studio albums. Thats the idea behind an Oasis greatest hits album, for someone who wasn't part of the 'Oasis generation' but heard their big brother or dad playing it and started to like what they were hearing.
A better idea at this stage would probably be to bring out another B side album, Masterplan 2, as you and I know Oasis have a load of great B sides that they have recently made or missed off the Masterplan, Round are Way, Just Getting Older, It's Better People, Step Out, Heroes (Bowie Cover), Street Fighting Man (Stones Cover) etc.....
But, an even better idea is to bring out a live DVD video compilation of Oasis (Knebworth, Finsbury Park etc) that would definately by worth £20.
I personally think they will 'do a Rolling Stones' and wait 40 odd years before bringing out their greatest hits on CD.

I had this Jam tribute cd a while back and Liam and Noel each do a Jam cover on it, i'll try to find my friends cd and post the songs .... good stuff....welcome tomo ! |

some good points tomo!
The second masterplan album has been suggested a few times but its not one that i'd personaly want to see. one b-side album is enough for now. sure there is plenty of material, but i think another compilation is too early and unnecessary
i don't see the reason for oasis to release any compilation of any kind right now - there's enough live albums, dvd's etc for my tastes
i'd much prefer a new album and tour next year

i'd love to see a dvd with knebworth and finsbury park stuff. also, it should have tons of extra features, like backstage stuff, interviews and stuff like that.
we'll probably see an album by fall of next year at the earliest. i can't wait. damn drool...

I definitely agree with the dvd they should do a massive double dvd like led zepp did with their early gigs on it up too their most recent like finsbury and stuff. and include some interviews and stuff. |

One thing I would love to see..... a Noel solo album. I know people say he should stick with Oasis or whatever but you can't tell me that you wouldn't buy an acoustic album by Noel. Definately new songs and some covers would go down a treat.
I wouldn't mind seeing Liam doing some of his own stuff either, which, I think he will do even though he says he wont. Remember he's a big fan of Lennon.

the jam albums are superb, bar the first one which has three good songs. there is some really great music in there to be discovered.
start with setting sons. if you like that then continue with anything that you want. just explore. your choice.

no way. solo albums mostly lead to destruction of the band.
remember around 2000 when noel said he wanted to do solo work - that was the point where Oasis were closest to breaking up in my mind.
and besides, they've both realized now that the band is more important than anything else.
