This is an Oasis that isn't scared to take risks and it shines through in every song on that album. Even Magic Pie, Squire? Yeah Yeah Yeah!! You know it son. BHN wouldn't be BHN without Magic Pie. Just Noel ate too many magic pies, had too many many parties and then he stopped all that and wrote... Gas Panic. |

I do anything to be able to listen to Oasis albums (sans Heathen Chemistry) for the first time again. Must be the most euphoric trip there is. "I'm just getting high on Oasis fer the weekend."  |

I wish I could actually like Wonderwall again like I used to do. When it used to make the hairs on my neck stand up. Now it's just like ear bleach. Can't actually stand to listen to it all the way through.  I've either heard the song too much or it's aged terribly. It angers me it's the song most people associate with Oasis as I can't stand it now & it's not their best work anyway. |

I'll be talking to someone who is in his early 20s: Him: What kind of music do you listen to? Me: Bloody love Oasis innit Him: Who are they? Me: You know them Him: Erm, no? Me: You know, the song Wonderwall? Him: .....No? How does it go? Me: Fuck right off. All too common of an exchange these days. Fecking Yanks, innit.  |

Wow, can't believe there are people who don't even know wonderwall... Then again 'spose oasis never really broke America properly like they had hoped. |

We can listen to Oasis if we want to, we can leave your friends behind. Because if your friends don't listen to Oasis, and if they don't listen to Oasis, well they're no friends of mine.

Practically everyone knows Wonderwall in the US, even if they don't know the title or the name of the band. At the same time a large number of people here do know who Oasis are as well, they're not as obscure as one might think.

Oasis ain't a band, it's a religion.

I think it's quite SCANDALOUS how underrated Shakermaker is on this forum.
It's bloody good, so catchy.
That riff.
Also I forgot how funny the video is.

I don't rate as highly because due to my age it always reminds me of this  Although clearly the melody and tune is much better as a twelve bar blues style  |

It shows how big Oasis were in the UK in that their tribute band signed to EMI- Irish Times 1996 IIRC it was a five album deal although they were dropped after that single. At their peak they were playing theatre size venues and TOTP Aside from the generally rather unfortunate/unpleasant presence of Gary Glitter presenting that episode, it was also a strange loop of a tribute band to Oasis being presented by someone whose songs the original had nicked from (Hello at the time and later Force of Nature). |

The only BHN song for which I'd accept a "naked" treatment would be Don't Go Away. The production of that one always felt wrong. While I don't mind the million guitar overdubs, Alan's drums sound way too heavy for such a delicate song, as if he's banging his set as hard as he would on the rockers (I blame coke ). In addition, the horns and strings really get lost in the mix, and the acoustic guitar in the coda seems to come out of nowhere. I'd love a mix that reduces the drums (or maybe even replaces them with a lighter, Cast No Shadow-esque shuffle) and brings out the orchestra and that acoustic guitar. |

i dont understand how people say oasis never broke america sure they might not have had any number 1s over there at least i dont think they did but they did however sell out any gigs they played in murica so that must count for something

And the singles continued to do very well: The Hindu Times, Lyla, and The Shock of the Lightning And the albums still did very well: Don't Believe The Truth and Dig Out Your Soul And they sold out stadiums: Like Madison Square Gardens, even "past their prime" And their songs litter the American airwaves, even to this day: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back in Anger, Live Forever (and occasionally The Masterplan). But even disregarding all of that as evidence: Who the fuck needs the Yanks, anyway? |

i dont understand how people say oasis never broke america sure they might not have had any number 1s over there at least i dont think they did but they did however sell out any gigs they played in murica so that must count for something Not every tour they didn't- They downsized venues on both the MG and BHN tour IIRC due to underwhelming ticket sales, unfortunately I am still travelling ATM so don't have my reference material- davidjay would I be right in thinking Vancouver (I know Canada) wasn't a sell out, and they downsized in Texas from an arena to a basketball size venue? According to the RIAA their total USA sales stand at under 7,000,000, including 4,000,000 for WTSMG and another 1,000,000 each for DM and BHN. That isn't to say they didn't achieve far more than alot of UK and even USA artists in America, most of their Creation label mates for example would have been delighted to get 100,000 US sales on an album, never mind 1,000,000. The point is that although they achieved success and generated a lot of headlines they were not as big a draw or seller in the USA as people might think, it's similar to the amount of attention the Libertines drew in the UK despite have a gold disc (100,000) for their first album and a platinum (300,000) for their second they had far more media attention than alot of bigger selling artists based on their personalities and profile. That isn't to say sales are the be all and end all because they are not- I have said before many of my favourite artists from the NY Dolls, Richard Hell, Lou Reed, Warren Zevon, etc. sold very little initially and indeed in some cases during their lifetimes, but their music remains vital listening for me. |

Yes, that woudl have been Vancouver. They left 7 songs in and that left a bad taste for gig goers when they returned in 98. However, those who did enjoyed a full BHN show with the first acoustic performance of Half the World Away. |

THAT WAS AWESOME! They literally combined Cigarettes and Alcohol, Some Might Say and Shakermaker together. |

I swear, every time I go an extended period without listening to 90's Oasis, and then listen to them again, it's as if I'm discovering them for the first time. There is something fucking magical about each and every track from that era, from Supersonic to Flashbax. Oasis may never be the best band that ever existed, but they are forever immortal in my world because of this immaculate run.
Let's all take the time today to forget that anything post '98 ever happened and remember why we love this band.

Anyone else think that Sad Song doesn't belong on DM? Sure, it's a great acoustic song, but its vulnerability is quite out of place on a straight rock 'n' roll album.
