I fucking hated Oasis. If you would have told me 5 years ago that I'd be a fan now, I would have laughed in your face. I thought they were so annoying. I had heard Wonderwall, obviously, and I thought it was the most annoying song ever. Knew a few more of the hits and last few singles. Heard NGHFB and liked a few songs, heard Beady Eye's The Roller and liked that. Then one day I saw a video of them performing DLBIA on TOTP and I saw the lyrics and something just clicked and all of a sudden I found this song, this song that I had known for yeaaaars, an amazing song and I felt the need to listen to it. And then I looked up more songs by Oasis and I already knew a few. And songs like SMS and CS sounded so familiar, like I had heard them before. I started to appreciate Wonderwall too. I watched some videos and some interviews, and before I knew it I was hooked.
And then I found this website and lurked the shit out of it and joined waaay later.

I actually wanted Green Days album back in the day cos I'd heard When I Come Around (at the time I didn't know it was Green Day) My clown of a sister told me it was a band called Oasis that had made When I Come Around thinking she'd really pissed me off this time. So I came home from the shops with What's The Story Morning Glory, I was blown away and Oasis defined my life for the following 10-11 years.

Knew Live Forever and Cigarettes and Alcohol but to this day don´t know from where exactly. Then came Wonderwall and i bought DM and WTSMG. Was the first Band that really hooked me that bad since GnR.

I heard 'Don't Look Back In Anger' on swedish Idol in 2006, and I was hooked. I went to Youtube and listened to that song on repeat, downloaded (illegally, sorry) MTV Unplugged and listened to that album every day. For a pretty long time I thought Noel was the lead singer/frontman. The first album I bought was Don't Believe The Truth (maybe that's why I think it's one of their best) and short after that the deluxe edition of Stop The Clocks.
I could have been a fan ten years earlier, though. I got a collections album with various artists called Absolute Music 26 at christmas in 1997 and on that album was 'Stand By Me' but i didn't cared about that song for some weird reason. I was only 6 years old at the time, though.
It was this version I've heard if some one curious. In hindsight, it's a pretty lame version compared to Noel Gallagher's acoustic versions. But it got me to discover a band that changed my life and have made hard and good times in my life easier to deal with. Oh, god, I love this band.

I liked Oasis before I knew they existed. I heard their songs in movies, commercials and TV shows. AT&T Commercial (All Around The World), The Butterfly Effect (Stop Crying Your Heart Out), and finally Lost (acoustic Wonderwall).
I always loved that commercial because of the music. And I loved the ending to The Butterfly Effect because of that beautiful song that played. I had no idea they were by a band called Oasis. I never even heard of Oasis. Granted, I wasn't very much into music at this time.
So when Wonderwall appeared on Lost, I finally got hooked to the melody and searched the lyrics on google. I found Oasis (around 2007). I think it's really something that Oasis hooked me before I ever knew they were a thing. Something about Gallagher music speaks to me in ways that no other can.

In 2000 when I was 13 I bought There and Then on VHS from a car boot sale by chance out of curiosity (only really knowing the Morning Glory singles that were played on the radio). I watched it over and over.
Then I saw an advert in a magazine for Oasis VH1 Behind the Music and got a mate who had Sky TV to record if for me. After watching that the full blown obsession started, seeing how cool they looked and acted and hearing snippets of all the songs throughout and how they came from nothing and did it themselves was really inspiring.

Loved Wonderwall on 1996, Go Let It Out on 2000 and The Hindu Times on 2002. Then I realized those three songs were from the same band. I joined this forum on 2006 (I think) but I don't post very often ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

In early 2000 two of my classmates were talking about the impending Oasis album 'SOTSOG' and I felt really left out because I had no idea about it. Also they'd constantly debate which was better MG or DM and although I'd heard most the songs as anyone growing up in England in the 90's I couldn't join in
I asked to borrow my friends SOTSOG and I loved it. I wasn't really into music too much but I was amazed at how some of the album tracks were better than the singles because being a naive youngster I'd assume singles were the best.
The following week I went round to his and he played the Masterplan and explained how these songs weren't deemed good enough to make their earlier albums which completely blew me away. If these songs were this good how good are their albums?!
I was hooked I went down to woolworths the next day and brought DM, the next week MG and then BHN. By the end if the year I owned all their singles, videos and had done a 40 page school project on them!!

You know what, for years I was a casual fan at best. Then one day I must of seen or heard something that made me buy The Masterplan and I became a huge fan instantly. I literally bought all the albums within a month including Stop The Clocks. Its amazing how universal Noel's lyrics are.

I was looking through my dad's record.collection, and stuck in between Siouxsie and the banshees, and Kate bush, was Be Here Now by Oasis. I gave it a spin and 72 minutes later, i went inside, ordered DM, WTSMG, and TM off amazon. Blown away

Around 2001, i got a sony discman for present that year and i was browsing through a cd collection we had at the house. At the moment "Hello" ended , i was hooked. I spent a lot of time listening to that record. My favourite tunes back then were "Hello", "Some Might Say" and "Morning Glory". Funny thing is that it took a few listens to figure out that "Don't Look Back in Anger" had different singer on it. I didn't know Noel or Liam at the time.

I was always thinking that would be a great debut album if they start with that one. Dyou Know What I Mean first song you ever hear from this band, that should blow away as much as Supersonic.

I genuinely can't remember time before Oasis.
Definitely Maybe was the first album I bought as a wee nipper back in 94. I used to have all the singles recorded on tapes and took my Walkman everywhere :-)

It's mad hearing about people getting into Oasis so late on, even after they'd split. Just goes to show that they were one of the greats.

May 2005, I bought the lyla single and the b-sides were great.
I think I had bought pretty much all the singles on ebay by about July. I still can't believe how good the singles were, at least up until the end of HC. That 9 year period gave us 35 b-sides if I counted right, plus sad song / BBH
I was gutted to only get one b-side during the DOYS era

I was always thinking that would be a great debut album if they start with that one. Dyou Know What I Mean first song you ever hear from this band, that should blow away as much as Supersonic. At this point, id only heard DLBIA and wonderwall, so i presumed that's the kind of band they were. But the on come DYKWIM, and i couldn't believe my ears. It was monstrous. None of the other bands i like, (the smiths, Beatles), had made an 8 minute song with 2 minutes of just noises, (bar revolution 9) and six minutes of a song like DYKWIM. I was shocked by the sheer size of the album. Again, the smiths and the Beatles had never made a song (bar hey Jude), that just went on and on, repeating the chorus over and over, and i thought it was brilliant. Why make a 3 minute song, when you can make it 7 minutes? Genius, i thought. Then MBM started. Jesus, i thought, this was the same band who did wonderwall? I loved it. It sounded so massive, and loud, and it was brilliant. And then the big one two of AATW - IGBM. This might be controversial but this may be in my top few album closings of all time. The Beatles - Abbey Road (medley) The Beatles - Sgt Pepper (day in the life) The Smiths - The Smiths (suffer little children Oasis - BHN (AATW, IGBM, AATW reprise) You have an absolute epic in AATW, and a rocker that just didn't want to end. This is how to end an album i thought. And then came the reprise, and i knew this band was the bollocks. Any band who made an album as massive as this, was something special. Ordered copies of the first two albums the next day. They blew me away aswell, but not to the extent of BHN. That rrecord is special to me.

Big into the early 90s alternative rock stuff and kept seeing "Oasis Supersonic TV Debut 1994" in my suggest list over and over so finally I just clicked on it to watch it. Needless to say I was a fan as soon as I heard it. The Earls Court '95 version really sealed it for me ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That's basically my story as well, more or less. I think if that german tv channel, it was "ZDF" if I remember right, hadn't decided to put DLBIA in their closing credits after every match, I wouldn't be sitting here and typing this. Funny thing I noticed while reading your concert history signature - we must have at least been in the same venue on the same evening for at least 7 times. See you in Düsseldorf and perhaps Berlin in March I guess!

I was 13 and I was really into hip hop and r&b and was sitting on my bed watching mtv top twenty countdown in 1995.... Didn't know what guitar music was at all. Hated grunge... Just liked hip hop. Haha
All of sudden, a new number one video was on and the guitars literally made me look up from what I was doing and it was Wonderwall. And that changed my whole entire life. I took a complete 180 after that very moment. What a moment in time for me!!!!

1994.
I was 5 years old - had an older set of cousins in their teens... one of them gave me DM on cassette. That was it. Been listening to them ever since.
