I wish they would have Remastered or Remixed the NGHFB tracks for the new compilation. The production is so dire on that album.

I still listen to CDs all the time. Me too and I just bought 3 more. Me, more than three by now, and I would so much have liked to get the EP songs, all of them, as an extra disc on his new Best of release or I'd be happy to pay for an extra one.  |

I really like going to my local CD shop, buying CDs on clearance for a dollar or two, and trying them out. It's like mystery meat. This is how I have found some of my favorite artists (and how I first heard Oasis by picking up Morning Glory on clearance). |

This is how I have found some of my favorite artists (and how I first heard Oasis by picking up Morning Glory on clearance). I use to do that all the time at my local record shop. Hit that $1 CD bin. Found loads of good stuff I’d rip to MP3 or listen in my car. The problem is that now my cars don’t have CD players. So that kind of killed off this pastime of mine. |

The only CDs I really buy any more are expanded soundtrack releases from the likes of LaLaLand Records or Intrada.
When it comes to pop and rock I stream stuff and then the stuff I really like I buy on vinyl.
I’d say Who Built the Moon? Was the last pop/rock cd I bought.

Possibly a bit random this BUT I’m starting to view Noel’s middle-period in the same way I do JJ Cale’s music. It’s not “hit” material - it doesn’t smack you straight in the gut - but there’s a vibe to it.

Disc 2 of Noel’s best of is a complete mystery. He made so much good music between ‘17-‘20 that you’re really spoilt for choice picking the best ones, and still he got it wrong.

I'd dare put Falling Down above any of his solo output, it has aged remarkably well. Those came out 10 months before Oasis broke up. Could have used that quality of material 7-8 years earlier. Death rattle time. |

Maybe I just think less of it because there were far better first singles on DOYS (Bag It Up, The Turning), but it’s always struck me as Noel writing to spec. Sony pulled up to Noel’s drive thru, ordered a big rock song, and it was made by the time they drove up to the window. |

What you just described is the story about DBTT and Lyla. |

I remember him telling that story about Lyla - that turned out to be a far better song, though, imo. I prefer TSOTL but to each their own. I am always amazed by all the effort that went into DBTT and how it was recorded about 3 different times between the UK and LA. Just exactly what was DBTT going to be before the record executives got involved and told Noel he was short on singles (so Noel tossed in Lyla and Idle) in addition to Dave Sardy demanding Let There Be Love be on the album. That the album's singles!!!!!! This could have been a giant shit sandwich. |

I know it's not gonna happen, but now he's got his studio set I'd love to see more professionally filmed live sessions from him
Not livestream gigs, fuck them, just what he did with the new version of Dead In The Water but with new tunes
I love it when artists do that

It still amazes me how they thought that Let There Be Love sounds good the way it is now, it sounds like a squeezed lemon.
I wonder what songs Lyla, Idle and Let There Be Love replaced. Eyeball Tickler? Would we have had Record Machine?

Id love to know the dozen plus songs they worked on with Death In Vegas and what original DBTT track listing that Noel presented to the record company. |

I would love to hear the songs they did with Death In Vegas but will they ever be released? Probably not unless they decide to release a whole boxed set of rarities one day.
