I think that on this site we've had plenty of discussions about when Oasis was most famous, but when in your life was the band most important to you.
Thinking back, I remember when I was 15 I bought Morning Glory and I fell in love almost instantaneously. That was in the spring of 2002. I remember a certain renaissance in 2005 when DBTT came out and when I saw the band live for the first time. Oasis (as totally lame as it sounds) was my life. All I thought about and cared about. I'm kind of coming around to it again now that I just saw Beady Eye in Toronto. So I guess I'd have to answer HC, DBTT, and Beady Eye.

While i knew them by early 2000's they didn't had any influence on myself(since my english was pretty bad, i think it still sucks a bit  ) but when i heard Lyla on the demo of Fifa '06(back when i was a gamer) something clicked don't know what but then i proceded to download that song(in fact it was the waga waga polish station rip). Downloaded their whole discography(but didnt realized that they were that band that had those two/three awesome videos WFL?, GLIO and WW). Until I came here a long long time ago, were a lurker about two or maybe more months before i signed into this paradize if you will. What I can give Oasis thanks is for introducing me into a whole word of awesome music and well some people(well not Wax My Nipples and BDIU, but thats another story), in fact I dont think i would ever grabbed an instrument if it weren't of the Gallagher brothers and Oasis. I think that DBTT(2005 ish) would be the age but if you picked the album it would be SOTSOG  |

I didn't get into Oasis until late 2009 / beginning 2010 when they had already split up. When i found out they split I felt like shit for a moment, xD. So yeah the only thing that I could actually experience is the formation of Beady Eye and their touring.

I only knew them in 2007, so everything that happened from that point to the present. The DOYS build up was immense and an intense experience, especially when I heard the leak for the first time. The split up was like a big slap on the face. It was like someone close had died. The DGSS build up till now have been great too. The gig I attended was fantastic. But I guess the high point was when I saw Oasis live for the first and only time during the DOYS tour back in 2009

DBTT - been a fan since 1997, but that album and joining the forum really propelled my obsession.

Can't believe how many people on here got into them late, it's really good to see that. Late '97/ early '98 for me. By 2000 I was hooked/obsessed if ya like.

I'm one of the "late" fans as well cos I got into them in 2004. Can't tell you how I was excited to go to my local record shop to buy DBTT. It was released a couple of days earlier in Holland than UK. DOYS was a stranger to me. I think I only have listened to it a few times.

The number of people that are on here that became fans later on certainly gives lie to the assumption that Oasis' long lasting popularity was simply hangover from their boom in the 90's
For me DBTT was the album that got me into them as well. Although it was a couple years after it had come out.
I wish Noel in particular could really understand and accept how many people came to the band because from later albums. That it wasn't always just someone stumbling upon DM or WTSMG or having those records passed down by an older generation. I remember Noel being asked why he thought the audience continued to regenerated itself. He said he thought it was because the fans got those first couple albums off older siblings or thy had been passed down somehow.
I think it'd be great if he could realise how much of the their fanbase had been brought in by current material...even during the dark periods like HC. People looked them up and got into them because of current singles, etc. Sure the back catelogue is amazing. But he never put enough stock into the impact of his post 90's output.

I've known of Oasis for as long as I can remember, but I've liked them since Little By Little came out when I was 11. Only became a proper fan when I bought Stop The Clocks after seeing the making of The Masterplan video on BBC News at Ten.

I was rather late like 2008 with DOYS all my life ive known of a fewe of their songs but when SOTL came out I decided to check out the rest of the catalogue purchasing all albums, singles and vinyls I could get my hands on. And since then my music has broadened and changed for the better so I thank OASIS!

I find it interesting that there are so many "late" comers to the party. I got into the group back in 1995 alongside all the mania surrounding them, but they became more dear to me during the 97-2000 period, because I moved cities and knew nothing and no-one for that matter. Oasis became a place of comfort and peace amongst the surrounding unknown. I was the only Oasis fan where I moved to and had to indoctrinate my fellow citizens over my 4 years there. It worked on some of them. |

I bought Definitely Maybe in 1998 or 1999 and my dad owned The Masterplan, but it wasn't until 2007 or so that I really started to get into them.

I'd have to say DBTT. I became a fan right before then. Didn't join the forum until a couple months before DOYS, but DBTT will always be the album that made me become a fan.

First heard them in 1994, when seeing the Supersonic music video on MTV. Was pretty much the first song I'd ever heard that I liked. (And I thought Liam looked pretty fuckin' cool in it.) Then I heard Live Forever on the radio and that was it, I was off and running. Got DM, and loved it. Got WTSMG on the day of release, and loved it. Got all the UK singles, all the bootlegs, read all the UK magazines religiously, etc. By that point, they were no longer just a band to me, they were a lifestyle.

I know that many of you have already stated this, but I am genuinely surprised at the number of people that have become fans since 2005. It's literally crazy! I think it says a lot of things - namely that the music produced in the second half of Oasis' career was actually fantastic. It also tells me that most of the people on this site are young and madferit!!

It was only a few months later that I started listening to their later stuff |

I'm in the same boat. I got into them in 2007 after importing Definitely Maybe into my iTunes library and rediscovering just how awesome it was.

right before DBTT was released is when I rediscovered them (hear them on the radio as a child) The period from 2005-2008 was magical experience. Early 2006 I really dig deep and found like all the b-sides and all that good stuff and I was literally blown away by every song that I heard. Oasis at that point in my life was untouchable in terms of greatness. I seriously adored every album (bar HC, didn't really like it much in those days either except for a few tunes ) Oasis are still without a doubt my favorite band but to be honest I don't listen to them that much maybe throw on a album by them every couple of weeks but when I comeback to them, some of the early magic that I felt a couple years ago comes back and reminds me why they are my favorite band. |

Everything you said there I will have to agree with. You are probably the same age as me, Cast. I was about 8 when Oasis was always on the radio. Which of course I remember, but it wasn't until 2002 that I go into them and my life changed. My mom came to visit for the weekend and she was talking about when I was 15 and loved Oasis. It really was the defining thing about me. All my friends thought Oasis = me and vice versa. That's obviously changed a lot since 2007, but I still listen to them relatively frequently and it means a lot. |

A friend introduced me to them last autumn... it was this that in the end made me really recognise the Beatles as the great band they are... though I still prefer Oasis as my favorite, partly due to the supremacy that is Wonderwall, Slide Away and Live Forever, the three best Oasis tunes.

Always listened to oasis and liked them as long as I can remember as my dad listened to them through the 90's but being 17 I don't think I became obsessed until DOYS/BDI formation. Now I'm a fully fledged anorak.

The moment for me came in December of 1994. I had just read a glowing review of DM in the USA Today and it peaked my curiousity. I was working at a CD mail order company and when I went to the warehouse to check out the CD, we were out of it. Then it went on backorder from Sony so I knew the supply wasn't meeting the demand. I had to go to a local record store to buy the CD. I brought it home and fell in love with it on first listen. By mid 1995, it was still in my high rotation of albums, as well as their singles, then I learned that they had a second album coming in October. I received a promo or WTSMG about 2 weeks before its release and again, I was blown away. They've been my fave band of the modern day era of music ever since.
