Impossible to narrow it down to just one! Here's a shortlist:
The Beatles - Sgt Pepper The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Travis - The Man Who (at least the tracks produced by Nigel Godrich, not all of them were and there's a huge difference between those and the ones the band self-produced) Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool

I don't know if it is the worst produced, but' Appetite for Destruction' probably because of the way rock n' roll in general was recorded in the eighties let an otherwise superb debut down for me.

Uuuum, Appetite was in no way produced like a rock n roll record in general was "recorded" back in the 80ies. This is what it makes so special. In fact it is one of the last or even the last big rock record which was recorded analog and is ruled by old production standards as well before the whole new digital tech-stuff and war of loudness kicked in. What I can confirm is that the CD version of AFD sounds really flat compared to the original vinyl pressings from the late 80ies. These sound nothing but killer on a proper stereo system.

Maybe it's just me but when I put it up against records such as 'New York Dolls, 'Rocks' or Led Zeppelin records there is something missing for me. The songs are what makes the record "so special" for me, not the production. Still I agree that the vinyl pressings do sound better on a proper stereo (Showing my age here ) and thanks for the info regarding it being an analogue recording which I wasn't sure if it was or not TBH Different opinions and all that on quality but I still love those original 1987 through 1991 Guns N' Roses records!

I'll treat that as the question and say it's wherever you find something that needs to be questioned Was school the best days of your life or not?

Don't really have favorite songs anymore but the one that's playing in my head right now is The Smiths - Golden Lights.

I don't really know what you mean but I guess socialising? If you mean something that most people can do but I can't.
In reply to another question that's coincidental: the longest I've stayed awake is three days, and counting - right now! Might try and sleep tonight, but so far this week I've just been busy watching TV shows and listening to Oasis at night. And drawing, actually, which I'm doing now!
So...riddle me this, Oasis internet forum:
Can a fictional character have a soul?

Sure. The way in which people relate to and sympathize with fictional characters definitely gives them more life than the letter on a page create. Ever had a conversation with a Harry Potter super fan? Those characters are more alive than most actual people to a super fan.
Is there ever a time when 'D'You Know What I Mean' isn't appropriate?

Probably better that I don't come out and say it. What quality in human beings do you detest the most?

Joviality / Chirpiness / Any kind of "ho-hum" attititude.
Shut the fuck up.
If you could change one thing about one Oasis album, what would it be?

I wish Be Here Now was produced better. I know all the mixes being bloated is part of the album's charm, but the hiss down the left channel, sometimes, is almost unbearable. And the songs on there deserve much better than that.
Not to mention, Noel was clearly ON IT with his arrangements at the time, showing, through the string sections on Stand By Me and Don't Go Away (and, now it seems, D'You Know What I Mean? as well), his remarkable talent as a synthesist. It would be nice to hear some of those flourishes more prominently in the mix. Unless Noel does come round to "rethinking" the rest of the album, and not just DYWIM, I doubt we'll get any real improvement in sound quality until the 30th/40th anniversary reissues, something like that.
Can't remember if I've asked this before, but... Are you any good at impressions, and if so, who's your best?

I'm good at doing impressions of goofy girls, to mock them and some fake rappers, who think they're bad boys. You see the guy who has parents winning 10,000 euros/month, and who plays the gangsta ? Fucking rubbish. Hate them
What's your opinion on popular culture today ?

Popular culture is too disjointed. Everyone's got their own celebrities and shows and music and most of the big newsmakers are just classless no talent hacks that people only talk about because of how fucked up their lives are. Technology giving us all this access to the media we want to consume as individuals is nice but I liked it more when all eyes were on a short list of entertainers and artists who had to rely more on talent and capturing the national mood to get the attention of a broad base of people. Then we could talk about how fucked up their lives were.
Are humans the most intelligent species overall, or is this a misperception?

Other species do a better job than us of acting in their own self interest to ensure survival, but we clearly are the only species that does a good job of creating things from scratch. Does this make us more intelligent or simply more evolved... I don't really know.
If you could experience the life of another species (like in the Sword and the Stone), which would you choose and why?

a dog, to see life from a different perspective, since they are not as tall as we humans are, or to know whats going on in their minds, when they look at their humans with puppy eyes and because I think a dog life is a nice life, if you are with a good owner <3 ( u prolly know now that I'm a dog mum hahaha)
you? which species would you choose and why?

Something that flies. A hawk or eagle. It would be fun to experience floating on the wind I think.
Tonight's plans are?

Some village in the countryside, 50 kms from where I'm living.
Just my family, me and my guitar. Some gorgeous landscapes, so love going there.
