I couldn't elaborate on that post because I was the road.....I threw an empty beer bottle out where I always throw beer bottles out and hit another beer bottle that I've previously thrown out.....that was one of my goals in life: to hit an empty beer bottle that I've preciously threw out, at that spot.....i have high goals in life - that goal took about two years to accomplish.

Anyway, the U.K. isn't the nexxus of the universe.....Oasis aren't musically relevant in any part of the world, including in the U.K......they're influential in the U.K., and the world of music, but not relevant.....Oasis doesn't exist, for Christ sake.

I'm also the only non-U.K? citizen who can name the countries which make up the U.K......seriously, ask a non U.K. person, I bet they can't name the countries that make up the U.K......

I bought Be Here Now the day it came out, I was around 20 years young..........and thought, 'this is really good, and most bands would kill for this but it isn't as great as the first two albums...." and every release after that got overall less significant, less quality, and less relevant, with some ebbs and flows but nothing like the first two albums......it happens with every band, Oasis isn't the exception.

I live in reality, it sucks.....

Thanks.

And you are a grass. Away cliping to the mods over a few wee swear words.

Come on, you know that's not true.

England til I die.

By the way Oasis had number one hits in countries such as Italy in 2005. So i think they were relevant after 90s. Maybe not America but the world doesn't revolve around America.

I also lived in Moscow for three years.

!!!COLLUSION!!!!

eva's asado cuddle parties are in fact the nexxus of the universe.....

God bless.

If people are being fair and honest then Oasis hasn’t ever recaptured that magic between 1994 and late 1997. That same level of energy, excitement and global relevance evaporated rather quickly once the clock hit 2000. I wish those times would return. Spoiler.....they won’t. Each album after MG got worse and worse. By the time they split it wasn’t even really the same band I fell in love with back in 1994. Sometimes you ride the wave until it breaks....

Not sure when quality suddenly equaled relevancy? Or why UK experience is invalid when talking about Oasis, but anyway, everyone knows no 2000 album is as good as the holy trinity, but Oasis had a massive resurgence in 2005, couldn’t leave the house without hearing Lyla or TIOBI. They even sold out MSG in the US for the first time so DBTT clearly put them back on the map whether you like it or not.

They were still getting number one albums, number one hits through the 00s in the UK regardless of quality. Noel just didn't have another Wonderwall or DLBIA in his locker and made the mistake of letting inferior songwriters contribute to the albums to dilute the quality. They basically shot their load in the 90s and were searching for that magic afterwards instead of experimenting.

That is totally false. Oasis never got back to that golden age between 1995-1997 in America when they have legions of fans (mostly from Wonderwall) but they were there. Came to the shows and bought the albums. They were all over the radio. Videos all over MTV and Vh1. They played their award shows. Did the rounds. Were on major magazine covers. I haven't had or sensed that same feeling since. 2005 was really no different for me than 2000 or 2002 or 2008.

I'm not sure why Oasis couldn't break through again in America. Lots of their peers maintained the same level of success over time since 1993/1994 with hit singles and hit albums in America. Bands like Chili Peppers, Green Day, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews Band, etc. Was it only because they were British? Out of mind and out of sight? Or maybe the tunes just weren't there for a good period of time. Go Let It Out did get a fair shake. Saw it a bunch on MTV, VH1 and Much Music but it did fade quickly. No supporting videos got any real run.
