"Live forever" is not even my favorite song, but I have the feeling that I should not have to die before I once heard Liam sing those last four times of "we're gonna live forever!" live, in whatever shape of voice he likes because I have not yet heard one version that did not make me weak at the knees. (And it was that part where I fell in love with his singing.) I guess, as chances for that are pretty slim, therefore, I AM going to live forever.  |

I don't get the love for Angel Child (which I just think is a pretty boring song over all) or the need for all Oasis fans to hear the Mystique demos. The reason: I absolutely can't stand most of Noels 90's voice on it's own. DLBIA makes my ears bleed.
I love Better Man, don't get the huge hatefest surrounding TNOR, and the best performance of Morning Glory is:
Liam sounded his best in the raspy 1999-2001 period.
Edit: Oh, and I'm a bigger fan than is appropriate of Little James

No, people would still notice. Shit is shit. "I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all / it won't be long before everyone is gone" Not shit just cliched - certainly as good as "Put yer money where yer mouth is / yer mama sez that you was real" You may not like the lyrics, but you do have to think of who Liam was writing those to, when he was working on the song. When you think of that, it makes the song a little better, and more sincere. |

Apart from the toys making noise, playing with plasticine and even trying the trampoline Little James is a very enjoyable little tune, sure, not an anthem but it's not the worst song on the planet as some make it out to be.

If Oasis would've called it quits after SOTSOG, I think Roll it Over would've been the proper "closer" song. However, I am certainly glad they didn't, and I do think DOYS is quite a brilliant "swan song" album. I just wish I'm Outta Time would've closed the album, instead of Soldier On.

I don't know if this is a real confession but I would choose the worst Oasis album over any other band's best album every day of the week. |

I think the heathen chemistry, and dbtt artworks are poor.
On heathen chemistry i always thought on the cover, gem was noel, and noel was gem. A bit stupid, but i only realised last week.
Shakermaker is a great song.
BIOD > Supersonic
I dont like RWI at all.
Hey Now is a good song.
I only recently worked out was was being said in the FITB middle part (kids running round theyve been fucking in the bushes)
SOTSOG had the potential to be equal to WTSMG and BHN.
I cant listen to DBTT, its just monotonous.
DOYS is brilliant (save for TNOR)
I used to dislike slide away. I adore it more than anything now, but i didn't used to like it.
My top 3 oasis songs are all b sides:
Listen Up
The Masterplan
Fade Away.
The best song from HC would be the worst song on any of the first three albums (bar digsy).

I actually fookin' love the outrageously long outro to It's Getting Better Man. Love how Noel continues riffing the fuck out of it, with Liam's vocal's changing tone with each refrain. Brilliant.

I thought i was the only one! Yeah, i see what you mean there are variations in the way Liam says it, and noels guitar work is insane. It could go on and on. However, for AATW it stays mostly the same, so i can get a bit tired of that outro. But everytime i listen to IGBM, i play it full through. |

I'm not quite sure why, but when I first saw Let There Be Love on the tracklist for Don't Believe The Truth, I thought "What, a Beatles cover?".
The title is very Beatle-esque, it must have momentarily confused me.

Listened to "(It's Good) to Be Free" this morning, and I have to say that when Liam sings "Bring it onnn hoooommmee" in the second verse, the song soars to another awesome level that cannot be described. For me, that little bit, and the solo, make the song really good.

Full On is fucking awesome. I think it's better than PYMWYMI, and sounds a bit similar. Had they mixed up the two a bit, that should've gone on SOTSOG.

'Hey Now!' is an absolute favorite for me on WTSMG. I know alot people think it's just filler, but I love the lyrics:
"And time as it stands won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as it fell from the sky, I asked myself, 'Why
Can I never let anyone in?'"
Unforgettable.
Hope many agree with me on this, but 'I Hope I Think I Know' seems like a great closing track! The final "As we beg and steal and borrow!!!!" sounds like it's tying up a whole album.

I really like Slide Away lyrics but I feel something is missing and that's why is my least favourite Oasis song. Also, Slide Away and Don't Go Away sound exactly the same to me (at least the chorus) but strangely I really like DGA.
When I first heard them I didn't like Gas Panic and Champagne Supernova but I loved Shakermaker, She's Electric and I Hope, I Think, I Know.
I can't stand She is Love and I used to think everything sung by Noel was boring (it stills apply to some songs). Even when I love it I don't mind not ever listening again to Don't Look Back In Anger (and probably Stop Crying Your Heart Out too).
Morning Glory, Supersonic, Live Forever, Rock 'N' Roll Star and Cigarettes and Alcohol became my favourites from the start.
I love to death Digsy's Dinner, Let's All Make Believe, Roll with It and Magic Pie.

Unforgettable. Completely agree. It's not a mega song like Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova, but it's awesome in its own way, and that's one of those ways. For me, it's a go-to song whenever I run out of stuff to listen to, but it's great to listen to anytime, really. Very underrated song, and those lyrics are brilliant. |

I hate the album version of Slide Away. Also, it no longer bothers me when people tell me "Wonderwall" is their favorite Oasis song. Am I ill?

Mike Bruce must have completely used up all his ideas by the time they got to IIHAG as from then on in the videos became totally unwatchable. |

I think the reason its underrated is because its on an album that contains so many good tunes. If it would've been on BHN or anything after that, it would be rated much higher imo |

This one is hilariously bad, IIHAG is a bit meh and EOTR is simply the worst. Such a shame that such a wonderful song got such dirge of a video. |
