I discovered the band in the gap between HC and DBTT. I had Morning Glory and FTM a few years earlier, but they didn't really click with me.
Then DBTT was great and so I started backwards. Be Here Now, on first listen, was really the album that knocked my socks off and cemented my love.

I discovered them in the Summer of 1999. Only listened to Morning Glory though and viewed them as "that Wonderwall band" until I rediscovered them around 2001 with Giants and was hooked for life.
Giants was the first album I bought. I bought all of their other albums the same month I bought Giants. I recognized the earlier work as far superior however and that opinion has never changed.
In short...
I see Definitely Maybe as their best (but overrated)
I see Morning Glory as their second best (but underrated)
I see Be Here Now as their third best (massively underrated)
I see Giants as their 4th best (massively underrated)
Everything else is utter shite.

I only really got into them about 2 years ago. I missed their last tour but saw Noel play acoustic, before that they were really that MG band. I knew some stuff not all. I then got given DM and BHN and have been into it since. I have a big appreciation for the first three albums but I probably like more individual songs from the last 3. Songs like GLIO, GP, THT, POTQ, SCYHO, LTBL, TIOBI etc etc etc. But my top 2 are SMS and Slide Away. So maybe I'm talking out of my arse? Will be seeing them when they come out this time. |

Became a fan during the DBTT era. Watched Lord Don't Slow Me Down on TV and got hooked by the acoustic version of Importance Of Being Idle which I thought was the most brilliant song ever at that time. Today I got over 100 Oasis CD's in my shelf  |

Haha, I agree actually. Really not a fan of the last two records what so ever. |

I loved every single one of their singles which were all pretty big here in England. But, at the time, I thought all albums were shite... mainly because the only albums I had bought previously were rap albums - like Dre's 2001 and Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP - and they contained many many shitty filler songs.
Then I got DBTT for my birthday in 2005 and it all changed. I loved the album and put it on before I went to bed every night for ages. A year later I got Stop the Clocks, which I played on repeat over and over and over. I then looked in the cupboard and found Definitely Maybe, which took a few listens, but I loved it. Got (What's the Story) Morning Glory and then just basically got every other album thereafter and love them all... except for those 3 unforgivable songs on SOTSOG.

It was Who Put The Weight Of The World On My Shoulders? and the Cast No Shadow Remix that got me interested. But i've liked Lyla since it was on FIFA

I actually listened to "wonderwall" back in late 05 when I was really into Ryan Adams (heard his version first, actually). I liked it but I didn't care for it and I REALLY didn't 'get' Liam's singing. then I listened to Importance of Being Idle and I was hooked. The first album I bought was What's the Story and I loved it. For a long time (as in, up until the end of last year or maybe even early this year) I thought WTSMG was loads better than DM. Now I love almost everything, except for some excerpts from HC. |

my first listen to them was in 2003, when i bought the Familiar to Millions
it was fucking great, and i thought the band was quality, then.
so I listened to HC, and become fucking crazy and wanting more and more
i become to download a lot of tunes of them at kazaa and everyfuckingone was amazing...
so i've becomed madferit officially
i dont really see the great thing about DM and WTSMG (of course, if compared to the other ones)
i just think BHN its more likable at a first look
BHN its fucking fantastic
believe me. I dont get the "oasis-fan-since-1995-or-magazines-desease", and think the worst album is SOTSOG, but still A GREAT album
i've becomed a fan with HC. its a fucking huge album. i just remember the fisrt time i listened to it... it was amazing

I got into Oasis on The Importance Of Being Idle and Don't Believe The Truth. It was wierd because I read reviews of SOTSOG and Be Here Now before buying them and that tarnished my first impression of them unfairly. I dislike those two records at first but now Be Here Now is my favourite album and SOTSOG is my third favourite.

Anyone discover the band on the works of SOTSOG, HC or DBTT Does or has this happened? If so, what was it like finding the first two albums afterward? Just curious I actually got into Oasis thru Blur (no kidding)... I looked up their WTSMG/Def Maybe stuff online and thought "wow". But I stumbled upon and borrowed DBTT in the local library here (yeah you can do that here), and I was just blown away. And some other long story about listening to the album in the hospital, call it a "Live Forever moment" whatever, that you don't want to hear. So I guess I could say DBTT made me an Oasis fan, but not really. Just strange fascination maybe. Ever since then, it's been such a great ride being a fan even if I didn't get to experience the mayhem in the 90's. |

I started really getting into Oasis in about 1999-2000. It was right around when high school was starting and I was branching out my musical interests, and it was also when Napster came around (when it was free originally). I remember seeing some show on VH1 one day, which I don't recall the name to, that had celebrities picking their favorite songs for certain categories. One guy picked Champagne Supernova as his defining song of the 90s, and I instantly remembered hearing about Oasis being Beatles like. Since I was a huge Beatles fan, I decided to start downloading some Oasis songs on Napster. I started with songs I vaguely remembered being popular (Wonderwall and CS), and when they really clicked with me I started downloading other random songs.
Eventually I realized that I loved every song I was downloading, so I might as well buy an album from them. I think the first album I bought was Heathen Chemistry, probably around the time it first came out. I was even more hooked and kept on buying albums and here I am today.

Well I personally kept hearing about this band Oasis everywhere and how they weren't as good as they had once been. I actually didn't like Oasis that much when I bought DM out of curiosity, you know "those arrogant tossers that live off 'Wonderwall'". I didn't give the full album a through listen but thought it was alright (chucked it on my cd collection). Then I started reading The Last Party by John Harris (which I absolutely reccomend to any Oasis fan) and it was all Blur, Blur, Elastica until "This little known band from Manchester..." with there single 'Supersonic' now I hadnt heard THAT song yet and I remember putting it on as I continued reading and that drumbeat in my head as I read Justine Frishmanne quote "I honestly didnt see them as a threat, I mean one of them was BALD for christ sakes!" and then that swaggering guitar screamed in and I was instantly hooked.

Hi! (fairly new to the boards...use this account to lurk around)
I actually got into Oasis earlier this year [January actually] through a little game called Rock Band.
Realize that over half a year ago, I was way into rap and hip-hop and all that nonsense. After Rock Band opened my eyes to such a different genre of music, I realized that I was listening to very mediocre, meaningless songs.
When the Oasis track pack was released on Rock Band, I downloaded it out of curiosity. The only song that I had known at the time was Wonderwall so I thought it would be cool to listen to the other tunes.
The first song I played through was Live Forever and it just blew me away. That song has really become something special to me and I could listen to it any day at any time. Don't Look Back in Anger was also another amazing song that I just couldn't get enough of.
Afterwards I went to iTunes to check out the rest of the songs and I immediately downloaded all their CD's. Seriously, I was introduced the best freaking band ever only this year. I've been hooked ever since. I sometimes get sad over the fact that I could have been listening to this band for years but it's alright. Better late than never I suppose.

Ah, the 2007 Brits performance... Which I now realise wasn't the best but as a 15 year old It blew me away. At the time I was just getting into music really and was into The Killers, Kaisers ect. And then suddenly there was this awesome band getting a lifetime achievement award. Oasis rang a bell with me because my parents are fans (they had MG and HC). I was just fixated on Liam, his singing style, the pose, the attitude. Cigarettes & Alcohol, to quote Noel, "Blew my mind" and DLBIA (which I'd head before but didn't know it was oasis) was fantastic. So I then got my brothers Ipod and looked for Cigarettes & Alcohol but he only had DBTT. So I listened to the whole thing and loved it. Next I found my parent's HC, then MG then my uncle had FTM. I bought DM (I almost died with joy on my first listen as it's the best album ever  ) and I then bought Be Here Now and I loved that too. I got SOTSOG in time. Lord Dont Slow Me Down DVD just reinforced my love of Oasis. Thanks for reading all that if you did |

1999 when I properly got into them, id had MG and BHN but only ever listened to 1 or 2 songs of em, (W,DLBIA, CS, and AATW), but it was The Masterplan that caught my imagination, I hadnt heard any Oasis b-sides before tht, and I couldnt believe that a band could leave such great songs of albums, I listened to that album none stop while revising and soon bought DM, back then I didnt have anywhere near the anticipation for new albums as I do now, initially I thought SOTSOG was a load of hsite, but it has grown on me massivley, and it was the opposite for HC iniitially I thought it was great, but now i rarely play it as, its got no soul and ofr me is a 5/10 album.
