One thing that bugs me a bit is the comical acronyms you sometimes see for Oasis songs, such as: GOYHHL, ALATGCIH, WPTWOTWOMS etc. It's not really annoying (and some are quite funny) but it does make you stop and think WTF is that referring to? Haha.

When you start naming racehorses after songs, you've run out of ideas. At least That's Freedom didn't win, we'd probably have to suffer Luke Marlowe singing (and I like Luke)

Non album singles are a stupid idea. For me, It's all about the albums, so it's frustrating to see a great song not being included*. EP's are pretty annoying too. If I were in a successful band, there would be no non-album singles and EP's would be used to release scrap (experiments, poor songs, etc.) with no potential, but contain what I think the more hardcore audience would be interested in hearing. Long term planning. 
* For example, it was pleasing to see 'R U Mine' on AM, several months after being released. Smart move! As the album much better off for it. |

As the album much better off for it.I see your point but that very approach made The Smiths quite special. Or The Stone Roses, or New Order, tons of others, just to name a few bands in an Oasis related context (exclusively Manc bands, one could call the art of notoriously releasing non-album singles the "Manchester disease" ;-). It can be applied to Oasis as well, instead of releasing numerous non-album singles they used to call them "B-sides" and hide them behind inferior A-sides. At least in the 90's. I heavily got into Oasis in about 1998/99, pre-internet. And I'll never forget the feeling when I had tracked down a single I didn't even know existed, in a real actual record shop, (I wasn't even aware of their full discography) with b-sides I'd never heard of. That's quite a magic moment, putting it on and listening to, let's say, Spaceman and Alive for the first time. Ah, I miss those pre-Internet uncertainty, everything's known and instantly available nowadays. Rant over. And I'm not even THAT old. Still haven't listened to more of Mclusky, sorry, kinda busy right now. |

Still haven't listened to more of Mclusky, sorry, kinda busy right now. Oh, I've definitely found a single or 2 which I had no idea that existed in the past. It's very true that there is a special feeling of discovery, which is great. The more surprises the better! Now a days though, with Wikipedia on hand, I like to do a bit of background research on bands (usually as soon as I've discovered them) and very quickly I get a good idea on what they've released and when, so the discovery of new tracks is not quite as magic as it used to be. I probably romanticise the concept of the album. It feels to me that albums are remembered and EPs are often forgotten. A great song is never forgotten but it's always feels like a lost opportunity when you discover it doesn't belong anywhere. I remember finding out so many Beatles classics were just stand alone releases and thinking what a waste. Of course it makes no odds really, as people get to hear the song whatever, but it feels silly to significantly compromise the strength of an album, something which represents an era for a band. Short term I'm sure it's not too significant, long term though I'm not so sure. It feels like a dated, trivial sorta concept. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Oh, don't worry about Mclusky or Shellac, ha, just a recommendation (You may hate them!). When you get some time though, click away: Mclusky - Lightsaber Cocksucking BluesMclusky - To Hell With Good IntentionsMclusky - Undress For SuccessMclusky - Alan Is A Cowboy KillerMclusky - Without MSG I am NothingI could literally link another 20 songs, but I'll stop myself there. Shellac - Prayer To GodShellac - CopperShellac - Dude Incredible |

Thanks for setting this up, really appreaciated! And don't worry, since this is the right thread as well, I may admit that I'm generally interested in a great deal of different kinds of music, from Stockhausen to Suicide over DC hardcore and finally arriving at A Tribe Called Quest. Whatever, in my head I was always thinking of Mclusky as a commercial version of The Jesus Lizard, fantastic band as well by the way. I'm quite sure I'd like them, will give it a try over the weekend. |

Edit: I probably should of added a few harder/heavier cuts then, but trust me they're definitely out there. 'Undress for Success' is just about the most pop tune they did. Almost Blur-esque, minus the vocals of course. |

Number 1 - I've just read through all 48 pages. I don't like Led Zeppelin - Robert Plant's voice puts me right off. I am an atheist although that isn't seen as shocking over here in stark contrast to the USA. I have a huge bias towards British bands, particularly from the north of England. Unlike many of you, I couldn't wait for school to finish. By the end so many people had just turned into complete wankers. Not that I'm bitter or anything.  One thing that really annoys me is that my school leaving ball was the same night as the Stone Roses at Glasgow Green. I felt I should to go the leaving ball because everyone built it up as a momentous occasion and all the parents were meant to go as well. My parents and I agree that it was one of the most boring nights any of us had ever experienced. I'm sure I'll think of some more as well. |

It is lame at times to see the ridiculous in-fighting over Oasis reunions and if Liam or Noel are better musicians. I keep seeing the constant division that spurred from the split of the band between those who miss Oasis, those who have completely moved on and focus on Noel, and those (Before BE's demise) who are die hard Liam fans and get pissed when someone says Noel is better.
Myself I didn't dislike Beady Eye but they could've been better, and BE was a good album, plus DGSS had its moments. Noel's solo career is going great now and I'm really happy for him, due to that I really don't care for a Oasis reunion. I also still love Oasis and that legacy, and even some of their post-2000 work (TIOBI, First half of DOYS and Falling Down, SCYHO, etc.)
It is really a gladiator grudge some people like to turn those disagreements into. I don't think we should absolutely slam post-2000 Oasis and talk about how horrible some stuff was, but shine a light on the positive events during those years. Also, for those still desperate for a reunion, IT'S OKAY! We all have different opinions and see alot of things differently, so there is no need to shoot down anyone's daydreams. I would love to see a reunion but only if it brings superior creative content from both Noel and Liam.

The La's kick the shit out of anything Nirvana, Pixies, or Pavement ever released. There, I quoted it.  nope not even close. Not only do those bands actually have more than 1 album but most of their catalogs are filled with outstanding work. Forget Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, hell even the Sopranos the greatest television show is The Wire. I know I'm a decade late on this but I finished it a month ago and I'm still reflecting on just how amazing the show was. Season 3-4 is the best season run of a show that I've ever seen. Season 4 is probably my all time favorite season of television. Season 1 is really good as well. Season 2 and 5 are a bit messy in places, but merit a watch. The show was clearly ahead of its time and I've never seen a television show so detailed, realistic, and aware of itself. It is the most emotionally authentic show I've ever seen. Other shows may have better cinematography (Breaking Bad) and be more thrilling (Game of Thrones), but no show has ever gripped me like The Wire does. An outstanding cast of characters Omar, Bunk, Stringer Bell, McNutly, Bubbles, etc. Honestly after I've watched it, I've had to lower my expectations for other shows. A lot of other shows just kinda come across as forgettable entertainment after watching it. I feel like I came out of the show smarter and more aware of what people actually go through in this country. |
