Don't get me wrong - lyrics CAN be brilliant and sometimes they can make a good song brilliant (in the case of a band like The Divine Comedy, whom I adore), but if people are listening to somebody like Liam Gallagher, who is clearly not the most articulate or intelligent fella around, then you're barking up the wrong tree.

Not knocking Liam or Beady Eye. I adore the songs. But they're not lyricists. They're musicians.

I believe you just called Liam a musician? Good one.

I've wondered for years what they definition of a "musician" really is? I mean, just b/c you are part of the music industry does that make you a musician? If that is the sole criteria then I think "musician" might well be the most overrated profession on the planet.

Don't get me wrong, I am not hating on Liam or BE.....just asking the question.

Singer of one of the biggest bands of the last generation - yeah I'd say that makes him a musician. Never quite understood why people look down at standalone singers in that way.

I don't get all the hate the lyrics are getting. The song clearly does have an overall meaning, it's not just random gibberish rhyming for the sake of it.

Some of those lines is just rhyming for the sake of the easy rhyme.

Just because something has "meaning" doesn't mean it's good. Technically there's no such thing as a set of lyrics that are completely devoid of meaning.

Only in as much as all words have a meaning. SBOTA has an overall theme whereas Supersonic, for example doesn't. Though I still love the lyrics in the latter, funnily enough.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: Why has the banner gone black? Oct 11, 2024 12:36:27 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5
