What do you think are the best BE tracks? Hmm... personally... Four Letter Word. It's crazy to think that the pinnacle of Beady Eye's life as a band came with track #1 on album #1. After that, there are some average to good tracks here and there, but most of the tunes fall between average and poor. Lyrically Beady Eye might be the worst band of all time. There is never a good reason to spell something 'Iz Rite'. I actually like quite a few tunes, but that doesn't necessarily make them "good" songs. If they weren't the offspring of Oasis I would NEVER care about them at all. |

I do like soul love, outro is cool, think they improved on it better towards the end of the tour with the backing track and Liam sounded stronger, less thin and varied the vocals abit more. I think soul love as a single was wrong, it shouldve been the reveal track imo instead of flick and then built up to the first single of flick of the finger, they revealed their best song first and while that got them off to a good start, it led to disappointment when the first single was considerably weaker. start anew shouldve been the last single imo with a new song as a b side. a double A side for beady eye was pointless. The single choices for BE in general were very strange. First FOTF came out but for some reason didn't actually come out as a vinyl single so no b-side  Then SBOTA came out with a fairly pointless b-side. Then bloody SHINE A LIGHT, wtf?? The Worlds not set in Stone would have been a better single, practically ANY other song from BE INCLUDING the bonus tracks would have been better! Finally we got Soul Love / Iz Rite. Surely it should have been Iz Rite / Soul Love seeing as Iz Rite was the far poppier track? Iz Rite deserved a video more than Soul Love. And of course there was the fact that 3 of the bonus tracks were better than half the official album. Madness. I'm not surprised the album bombed and they broke up after that. I'm clearly in the minority, but this track is the highlight of the back half of that album. I don't know what they were thinking with the video though... wow!  |

I'll see your Beady Eye in that category and raise you Britpoppers Thurman:- |

In my opinion they only had one great song across two albums which is a pathetically low amount. I'm including bonus tracks and b-sides there too, I know that Four Letter Word is quite well-liked on here but to me it's only above average, as are Soul Love, Evil Eye and maybe Morning Son if I'm being generous.
I'm genuinely surprised that some people on here think that 'The Roller' would have made Heathen Chemistry a better album. It's a 4/10 at best.
BE was definitely a step in the right direction but it just wasn't the huge leap that was needed really. A band is only as good as its songs at the end of the day, and that's why Beady Eye never took off, regardless of how good the production was or how well they played live.

You never say which song this is. I agree with you on the Roller. They shelved it for years because they said they could get it quite right. Should have left it on the shelf. |

I've never watched this video before. It's hard to take them seriously here. Do they honestly believe what their saying? Rock stars are really delusional. "Face The Crowd is like a Morning Glory thing." BWAHAHAHA.

"Face The Crowd is like a Morning Glory thing." BWAHAHAHA. I'd be willing to wager Liam was serious in how great the album sounded, whilst Andy and Gem privately might have had reservations but were hardly going to upset the focal point of their band or indeed any chance of a success by saying "It's shit mate but it was all we could come up with" I think most even cult level successful rock stars can be delusional at times, certainly people I have met or played at times for. I can understand it though because if you are surrounding by people who either rate you so highly as a fan you can do no wrong or have a vested financial interest in keeping you in the frame of mind for playing live, recording albums, writing new songs, etc. then after a while you start to perceive this as normal, rather than the distorted reality that is actually is. Another issue I have seen at even cult level is any dissent is usually dealt with by dismissals or banning from the inner circle, be it a band member, employee, fan or even a professional who isn't prepared to say everything is fantastic all of the time, with the artist or management usually the one to decide to get rid of that person and restore the ongoing mantra. I think this is quite common in the world of film making from what I have seen as well, must be a combination of artistic temperament and the desire to believe one is achieving greatness to cancel out whatever personal demons one is saddled with. |

Totally... it's hard to tell a proper star that their work isn't cutting it. Definitely Maybe became what it is, because Oasis didn't have the right to ignore criticism. They recorded the record 3 times over to get it right. After their successes, no one could tell them otherwise. If they had, then maybe we could have avoided the back half of Oasis career being full of underwhelming albums. |

Same as Round Are Way, a Slade trademark was deliberately misspelling titles on songs so it seems like a nod from the lads. |

Which is still in the shadow of Dave Hill's Spaceman outfit and multiple haircuts on one head...  I don't know if you are family with the Wolverhampton/Yam Yam accent but the spelling is how they are actually pronounced in that particular vernacular  |

I dont think flick of the finger was an actual single, it was just a release teaser so to speak, SBOTA was the first official single with a B side which they went on to push on the voice etc (stupid) thats why soul love wouldve served better in that role, it sets the tone for the album in a good way without giving away their best song which shouldve been milked, they literally did nothing with FOTF which is mad cause everyone loved it (even their stuck up producer from DGSS). shine a light was ok, not great but I understand it, the video managed to generate some interest as it featured Liam with naked women after the american journalist adventures. Iz rite was odd, they pushed it as the main single, performed on alan carr but then soul love got the video but as Ive said, the deluxe album of 14 tracks was cheaper than a single featuring 2 songs from said 14 track album so why would anyone buy it? they might as well of saved their money releasing that, even Noel didnt bother with dying of the light that much didnt even get a video, singles that long after release probably dont generate much. BEs single choices are one of their big failures imo, failed to push the wrong songs completely. Start anew with a great video probably couldve got some notice. |

My favourite Beady Eye memory has to be hearing 'Flick Of The Finger' for the first time. I thought "bloody hell, if this isn't even a single, imagine how good the album will be".

 Another weird page in the Beady Eye section by people who don't rate Beady Eye telling you how much they don't rate Beady Eye. As far as the question what there best BE songs are, if I were to do a best of it would include these. Four Letter Word Millionaire The Roller Bring The Light Three Ring Circus Morning Sun World Outside My Room In The Bubble With A Bullet Flick Of The Finger I'm Just Saying Soul Love Start Anew Back After The Break Evil Eye Wigwam(Live) Man of Misery (Live Lowlands Festival) Off At The Next Exit (Live) EDIT: Forgot SBOTA, would have that there as well.

Oh sure, we should all just blow smoke up BE's butt instead of having some interesting debate and banter about them. Per the threads title, it would appear that everyone is behaving appropriately. No fighting, name calling, or the like. Carry on. |

Keep discussing the band you consider to be the worst lyrically of all time though |
