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. Good thing it isn't on DM then. |

Okay this one is really personal to me But I feel like it's time to share !
I started doing some serious drugs in 2013, and it got progressively worse (funny how that happens huh ?) until it absolutely peaked last summer and I was out of control ! I maintained the thought that I was having fun, and sort of turned the lyric "All your dreams are made, when you're chained to a mirror and a razorblade" my self-imposed motto (although to be fair heroin was moreso my vice rather than cocaine haha)
By the beginning of this year, I knew I had to stop. So I moved away from my hometown and am now with my dad. I knew it was going to be a miserable time living without drugs, but that it would eventually get better. So I sort of changed my motto to.. "All your dreams are made of strawberry lemonade", which to me is a beautiful lyric that implies a very happy and positive thinker. So I just like to think, 'As like as I keep thinking positive and keep being happy, I can do this!!"

Started on pain pills in early 2013, But the shit didn't really hit the fan until I upgraded (or would it be downgraded ?) to (yikes) heroin about a year later. By summer of 2015 I was pretty much doing it every day. I'll be sure to go into more detail about this some time, But not until I'm a few months sober and the book is official closed on that part of my life. |

Falling Down has to be one of the most apocalyptic songs ever. It feels like the world is just crumbling around you with that eerie reverb on the mellotron.

Best wishes to you man! Thanks !! I will say though I'm going to have to make a thread about "Where did it all go wrong" and how freaking ACCURATE it is regarding drug addiction (Noel wrote it about his pain killer problem I believe) As for me I'm just trying to stay positive- If I wanna be a spaceman, It's still not too late !! |

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. What's even more incredible is that roughly 60/100 of Noel's oasis songs were released in this golden period (94-98). Using very clever maths in the following 10 years of Oasis noel only released around 40 more songs! It's also worth mentioning that in the 4-5 years of hfb noel has released around 30 more songs so his output in terms of quantity is actually pretty close to early oasis  |

It's been 7830 days out of 13,848
That's 57%.

Oasis doing George Harrison's "Wah Wah" during the BHN era would probably be the greatest cover ever. |

Some possible Thin Lizzy inspiration on display with the Don't Believe the Truth album cover?   |

My favorite part of Magic Pie is when the solo starts and you hear the Cast No Shadow-esque vocal harmonies. It's just so random and comes out of fucking nowhere. Serves as a reminder that this band was so high on cocaine, as if the million guitars weren't enough. |

The two most underrated Oasis songs on this forum must be Rock 'n' Roll Star and Some Might Say. I know that both are held in very high regard, but it's baffling that they don't receive half the praise that other songs from the same era do, especially considering that both are, by every definition of the term, signature songs, in another universe one would've been Oasis's debut single, and the other may just be their greatest single ever.

I don't think Some Might Say is underrated on this forum.
But Rock n Roll Star definitely is hardly talked about.

Let's all take the time today to forget that anything post '98 ever happened and remember why we love this band. How they were able to churn out such a catalogue of work between 94 and 98, with a songwriter who could only really write one kind of a song, a singer who sung every song the same way, and a producer who couldn't really produce (and was quite clearly a fucking eejit), is just astonishing. Yes, they never really pushed the boat out sonically or creatively, and they almost never ventured beyond the age-old verse-chorus-verse formula for songwriting, and yet, somehow, they were still able in that time, to give us lowly humans a song for our every mood and emotion. Feeling jubilant? Why not top yourself up with a measure of Don't Look Back In Anger?... Feeling glum? It's the Rockin' Chair for you, my dear... Feeling numb of all human emotion? Clearly, you need an injection of D'You Know What I Mean... 90s Oasis are one of the most underrated bands ever. Endofshutthefuckup.And, carrying on in the same vein, tell me, mystoryisgory, what do Justin Bieber and Rihanna's new records have in common (apart from them both being shite)? I'll give you a clue: "Pitchfork" |

And just looking again now, it seems that's not even the half of it: they gave The Masterplan a 3.7, which means, by their estimation, that Coldplay's latest excretion is superior. And even on retrospective reviews Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory only got 8.8 and 8.9 respectively, meaning that apparently the Beatles' Let It Be is a superior record to Oasis' first two. Now, I love the Beatles, and Let It Be definitely does have its moments, but better than Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory? Get outta town! |
