How on earth is Let the Damage Begin only a b-side?

Speaking of ANS, I was quoting So It Goes in the main thoughts thread. That song harbinges pure heartache and grief.

"I'm just a poor little wifeless fella, another drink and I won't miss her."

BOOM! Just got two tickets for Manchester. 

"I'm absolutely and totally quite uncontrollably HAPPYYYYYYY" 

So I'm guessing My Big Mouth was in compilation 1 then, yeah? 

I was only joking about My Big Mouth, knowing you to be a prominent Be Here Now-denier. 

Guess it didn't work though, cause that's one of the ones you actually like? 

Best track after D'You Know What I Mean? 

Now I know you're fishing! Haha. I think it's about as awesome as music video that accompanies it.

Noel looks really creepy.

What makes a band the most relevant band in the world?

I guess if a band can find a way to reflect the world around them, at that particular time, they're relevant.

You have bands that might do that through their lyrics, as I believe Radiohead have done at different times: from paranoia over increased consumerism and artificiality on OK Computer, to dismay over the resurgence of Right-wing politics, during the Hail To The Thief-era.

You have bands that just have a sound; either one that's popular at that time that they just happen to be better than anybody else at (i.e. The Beatles), or one that isn't popular, but there's a desperate need for. For instance, it can't be a coincidence that The Clash's first, and really barebones, punky record, led to them being called "The only band that matters", at a time when the big blues-rock stadium acts like Led Zeppelin and The Stones had all become pale imitations of themselves, and prog-rock had long since jumped the shark. 

And then you have those bands that are relevant to the culture of the time, through the behaviour and attitudes - maybe even the look - of individual band members; that either challenge culture to move in a different direction, at a time when it really needs it, or play a big part in it remaining the same. And this is where I think Oasis come in. In the mid-90s, you had twenty years of unjust Tory governance (eh, mystoryisgory?) coming to and end (although, not really...). Of course, you have Laddism as well, which the Gallagher's became the sort of advert for with their swilling beer and flicking Vs, and all that other stuff they were doing before in Manchester anyway, but mostly I think it was that feeling of absolute optimism their songs embodied, that I imagine resonated with many Brits at the time. And so they were far more relevant to culture for a while than, say, the dismal grungy bands doing the rounds, with their self-flagellating lyrics of social isolation and apathy... 

Fast-forward to Blair completing his first term, and then the Britpop bubble bursting, and those kind of bands started to make more sense. And for a band to be truly relevant in the world as it it now, I'd imagine you'd have to carry on in that vein. 
 
There'll be other reasons of course, but I think I've just about run out of steam now. And anyway, it's like trying to argue which band is better, X or Y. There's no real way to define it, you just know.

Remind me of these- except these guys must be gutted at missing out on being millionaires on the same formula
