How come Digsys dinner is on DM but Listen up isnt? How come Hey Now is on MG but Rockin chair isnt? BHN on BHN but Going nowhere isnt ICSAL on SOTSOG but LAMB isnt GOYHHL on DOYS but TBWTB isnt.... This list can go on&on. Now im not wondering "what if", we all made up album lists 100000 times b4. Im wondering "How come" ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Obviously noel knows that Acquiesce is better than Shes electric, so how come he f**cks up the albums since DM to DOYS??? Evil consipracy? great masterplan? what dya think...?

Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory are perfect as they are.

Hindsight is an amazing thing, but Listen up couldn't have gone on DM anyway, far too similar to Supersonic

How How come Hey Now is on MG but Rockin chair isnt? GOYHHL on DOYS but TBWTB isnt.... .? Hey Now is good.. RC could of been added to the tracklisting..but i wouldnt take off HEY NOW ...................... as for High Horse Lady..its got a groove you dimwitt..and my only criticism if any is that it could of been shorter while BWTB is an extremely average song..that doesnt fit on DOYS

Listen Up is Supersonic crossed with Live Forever, which makes it one of the best tunes ever. It's a godlike tune - I can't stop listening to it. However, saying that, it didn't fit on DM.

TBWTB sounds very similar to I'm Outta Time. Those two tunes couldn't fit on the same album.

Everybody has their opinion of what would make the albums better, the fact is that Noel squandered a lot of great songs on b-sides. If I could have decided, I would have put Listen Up on DM, Acquiesce instead of Hello as opener on MG, and The Masterplan as the closer for BHN. Among others ofc.

Well a couple things to mention:
One - you never waste songs when they are b-sides. Don't say that. They are still enjoyed and talked about on here. They also get special attention BECAUSE they aren't on the albums.
Two - it's not so much about how good the songs are on the album, it's about how good the album works together as a series of songs. I mean, Acquiesce would have sounded absolutely ridiculous on MG, likewise Going Nowhere on BHN.

Acquiesce would have sounded absolutely ridiculous on MG Umm no? It sounds pretty similar to Morning Glory and something tells me you don't mind that song

If Noel didn't fuck up stuff then we wouldn't love them as much.
Face it we all love going to our friends '' you think live forevers good? check these out!!"

Neither song would have sounded right on the album - the albums are time capsules and I would never mess with the tracklistings. It just wouldn't make sense to me. I love both of those songs, but to me they are The Masterplan. I see nothing wrong with a fabulous song not being on the record - and I'm dead serious. I don't think that Hey Now! is a fantastic song, nor do I think that the swamp song excerpts are fantastic, but they make MG.
I'd rather have Oasis recording albums like MG that are brilliantly produced and then have great singles with B-sides rather than have "best-of albums"

I agree Oasis would be twice as big as they are if they had released songs such as Acquiesce, The Masterplan, Listen Up, Rockin' Chair, Stay Young, Let's All Make Believe, Fade Away, Talk Tonight, Half The World Away, Round Are Way, Underneath The Sky, Shout It Out Loud, Idler's Dream (god, this list is endless) and Eyeball Tickler on their studio albums, but I find a weirdly peverse pleasure in playing a song such as Rockin' Chair to my mates and them going "this is amazing, what albums it on?" and I go "it's a b-side"...the look of amazement crossed with confusion on their faces is wonderful to behold

..... playing a song such as Rockin' Chair to my mates and them going "this is amazing, what albums it on?" and I go "it's a b-side"...the look of amazement crossed with confusion on their faces is wonderful to behold That's what I'm on about. Is that not fucking cool? Why are we complaining that we have these gems? Whether they are on the records or not - we've got chunes!!!

sure having those b-sides on some albums would have been nice. But part of Oasis's legacy is the fact that they didn't write shit b-sides. I mean some of Noel's b-sides are greater than some classic beatles tunes to my ears. These early years were just pure magic for Noel the man couldn't write a shit song in my mind thats why he is my favorite songwriter of all time.

How could you suggest removing Be Here Now before you remove My Big Mouth, Mucky Fingers?
Be Here Now, may not be everyones favourite but has the classic Oasis sound that alot of the album lacks and its upbeat and easy to listen to.
Saying that, Going Nowhere and Stay Young would have made the album out of this world

Going Nowhere is quite similar to Dont Go Away productions wise so yeah i agree eh its got horns but GN is still a bit more stripped down than DGA. But i totally see your point though. Hell Angel Child would have been interesting to see on BHN haha. Acquiesce would have been cool to be the opening track to MG cos it plays Morning Glory right before so that would have been cool but still Hello is one of my favorite openers. Just pure stomp and the "its good to be back" is perfect.

I'd have had Acquiesce at track 5 on MG to round out side 1, just have that bit of Swamp song after it and then you're off to side 2. PErfect.
But I still love it as it is.
