funny story, i wrote wank be here now. its funny because I was both daffy duck and innappropriate.

Anyway, Be Here Now is one of my favourite Oasis albums, it seems to be one of the least consistent in terms of peoples opinions (I've seen it as some peoples favourite, and some peoples least), I just wanted to see where it stands for everyone else.

For me, It's 2nd now. Above DM. It's just, too good.

If this has been done before, well then, I hope you enjoy typing out a response telling me to go back in time and look at a thread person X made with the same topic, but it will make no difference to my life, this thread is staying here.

A 'naked' version of BHN might make my top 3, but that ain't the question.

So 7th it is...

The keys to early Oasis - the melodies and the voice - are there, but the amateurish musicianship, the pointless intros and outros, and the comically abysmal production overshadow them. The sheer abandon with which Liam sings IHITIK is incredible, but I can't press play because I fucking hate how sloppy the guitar playing and drums are. The breakdown in IGBM is one of the band's finest ever moments, but I don't wanna stick around afterwards to hear Liam tell me that it's getting better over and over (and over) again. I stop believing him after a while.

The songs at their heart may be some of Noel's best, but based on those other factors I find the record pretty much unlistenable, and that seems more important for this sort of evaluation.

Exquistely said. Its weird, its probably the album I listen to the least, but I'd still rate it as the 4th best for the strength of the songs alone.

Me and Noel can't get on with each other,( Liam) He thinks he's fucking God, I think I'm God it doesn't work.

Brilliant post from Thupertonic. It's not exactly how I feel but it sums up things well..

For me, it's 7th. I love every song on it (bar Magic Pie). Play me any one of them (bar Magic Pie) and I love it. But back to back? Give me a break. And a rarity in that it's much worse on headphones.

It contains good songs, great songs, classics. But listening in one go is hard work tbh.

Otherwise...I guess it'd still probably be three because the songs are so good.

It might be because I listened to HC and DBTT for months first and thought BHN would be worse than those two, but I have always loved this album. Yes, the sound is too heavy, the songs are too long, but the sheer attitude of the thing is amazing. It puts a smile on my face every single time I listen to it (and I listen to it a lot). So it's #3 (MG and DM are nearly perfect as albums) for me and the only album that comes close to the first two (except maybe TM).

It's all been said before, overblown production, the songs are too damn long, pointless intros and outros. Despite this, there are some really beautiful melodies in there, and Liam's vocals sound great! Underneath it all, there really are some great songs in there.

On the quality and potential of the songs, it deserves to be 3rd or 4th but its probably the most difficult album to listen to in its entirety. Went with 6th in the end (not possible to say it is worse than Heathen Chemistry).
