Oh also - the top five songs voted on oasisinet.com made the album. Here they are: Stay Young, Acquiesce, Talk Tonight, Half the World Away, Fade Away. No "Listen Up" and "The Masterplan"... Interesting. |

Quite how or why D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman isn’t on the album is quite strange, It’s obviously held in very high regard by Liam, Noel and every fan I’ve spoke to. Not sure what it’d replace saying that though i think it's an atrocious song |

Not sure what it’d replace saying that though i think it's an atrocious song Weirdly for an Oasis fan, nearly every post of yours seems to have this bizarre agenda against Noel’s songwriting talents. D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman is a very sweet and yearning tune. As the Stereogum article touches on, it’s magic lies in staying rooted to kitchen sink realism and getting old but still maintaining hope. 99% of artists would take such a subject matter and lay it on thick with ‘grim up north’ cliches. Noel doesn’t, and as a result it’s one of his finest tunes and, lyrically, one that embodies the spirit of Oasis better than mostly anything he’s ever written. Anyone who hates it surely can’t understand what made Oasis unique. The fact both brothers have pulled it back on to their setlists in the last few years is testament to its timeless quality. |

Not at all. i think he's written some great tunes, some average and some poor. His best songs i'd put up there with anyone. it takes a real skill to craft a simple sounding song that captures millions of people. if it were that simple, everyone would do it. At the same time, just because i like his great songs, it doesn't skew my judgement in thinking his lesser work is better than it is because of his reputation. it's all opinion of course |

I think the answer's somewhere in the middle.
I don't think it's an especially great song, but it's decent enough to listen to here and there.

Bang on, mate. D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman is such a unique song. Noel paints a picture for us, and abandons reliance upon cliches. It's classic Noel, wistfully dreaming of a better life by making the most of the depressing surroundings. Noel is a genius for the melancholic, the wistful, and the yearning. It's what Definitely Maybe was all about, at that album's core. |

The one thing that will forever baffle me is why the hell they didn't have the Warchild version of Fade Away on the album. It's far superior to the 'punk rock' version in my opinion cos the chords are too sweet for a rock song but the acoustic version is amazing. Too many Noel sung songs? Who knows?

Never got why people say this, Liam on lead is the far better version to me. Fade Away deserves to be a faster-paced song, and you see it in the live versions too. |

It's a classic Buzzcocks trick, putting a most wistful lyric in the most glorious rush of punk rock energy. So the Masterplan liner notes say. I'd wholeheartedly agree. By the time Fade Away reaches it's blistering climax you grasp the bittersweet futility of the lyric. The fuzzed out coda at the end gives you a moment to really let it sink in. |

I bought The Masterplan and Definitely Maybe on the same day, somewhere around 1998 or 1999.

I'm not sure about Acquiesce. I'm not a huge fan of the studio version and while live it's a real banger, it's a shame that Liam stopped singing the second verse. Without it it sounds somehow too simple for me.
