I pick FWN

I still have mixed opinions about them. Probably because the hype is over blown - they are a good band, but not deserving as one of the Best Albums/Bands ever as the NME like to think. Neither album comes close to challenging the Beatles or Oasis or U2 etc in their prime.

FWN though, is much more mature and serious with better lyrics - Old Yellow Bricks is amazing how he worked that topic so brilliantly.

Their hollow sound still gets on my nerves - works well on some songs, but it's not my thing - I prefer the more melodic style of the Kooks. But the energy, lyrics, are stunning, and the sound - while I said annoys me - isn't bad

AMs are a band I like, but not in the top - how can you say they are better than Oasis? Stone Roses? The Smiths? The Jam? The Clash? etc

Oh, and their soft songs are HORRIBLE - they need to work on that aspect (Riot Vans, Only One Who Knows -- SO POOR imo).....to be fair, 505 is solid

i went with the first album can still listen to it from start to finish without even wantin to skip a track.
In my opinion their the most excitin band musically thats been around recently, plus their amazin live. Lyrically Alex turner's one of the best of our generation.
As for the softer songs i can't see how you think they need to work on that aspect, yeh fair enough they have a couple of weak ones but you've only gotta listen to one's like 'Too much to ask' '505' 'No Buses' and 'The Bakery' to see their also class with their softer tunes.

Turner is a genius and he's progressing nicely (remember hes's only 22-23ish)

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
