A bit unfair to compare it to Wonderwall but it does seem to have the elements to be a massive song for Liam. It's got that unversality that a lot of great songs do, and it's done well. Every one can look back at good times in their life and feel like they want to do it all again. Doesnt hurt that Liam puts more emotion into this vocal than I've heard from him in 20 years.

I knew Wonderwall was huge but I'm staggered that it's the most-played song of the 90s. That is a phenomenal stat.

Right, let’s collectively write the new Wonderwall, whack it on Spotify, put some links to it here and there and repeatedly listen to it over and over again. It cant be that hard can it?
Then I can upgrade from Tesco own beans to maybe Heinz. Or Cross and Blackwell (not sure which yet).

That truly is a staggering number(s) for songs over 20 years old. Obviously many of those songs were played millions of times the 20 years prior to Spotify. It makes me happy Oasis is still getting consumed by the masses. Seems funny that we judged success by how many times mtv or the radio would play wonderwall. Felt like. Huge victory if it was 8-10 video plays a day on mtv. That is so so small compared to thousands and thousands played daily on Spotify. I’m also realizing that Noel doesn’t give a shit if his solo music sells by the bucket loads. He’s always got Spotify streams sending him paychecks. He’s playing with house money now. Spotify paychecks doesnt cover his lifestyle. He already complained about spotify paychecks in one interview,saying that was so low. A concert in manchester or london probably give him years of spotify paychecks. My point is it’s songs from 20+ years ago still throwing him some bucks. He was prob referring to his solo material. For example Black Star has made about $4,000 in royalties. Divided up between Noel and record company. Wonderwall for example has racked in about $1,400,000. That’s zero work for Noel no matter how little of that he receives.

Anyone else experiencing the phenomenon that this song really hits you when you’re sad or depressed, but has a totally different effect on you if you listen to it when happy??

Would the masses recognize a great guitar based song today and would they even care?

Forget the guitar - you'd need an obviously autotuned vocal to have a big hit these days. If it's not autotuned it's obviously "old" and as such the kids aren't interested. If they could isolate the lead vocals from Wonderwall then autotune them and re-release it they'd probably make a fortune.

Until then, we’ll just keep plodding along and posting pointless shit on forums haha

I'm not saying people don't use it, I'm saying people aren't fussed if someone uses it or not. It's not really a trend anymore, and people don't think less of a song because it doesn't have autotune. Plenty of huge songs today don't use it or only use it lightly.

That seems unnecessarily snarky. I was being genuine, not making some dismissive comment about the youth of today. I don’t think oasis would be popular today, at least in the US. They would probably be shrugged off by many as dad rock.

well guitar music isnt in these days so its not just about oasis. Im sure the beatles wouldnt be that successful if they suddenly came up through now. the music scene generally isnt focussed on guitar music or bands. That came to an end in the 2000s for the most part.
Much of the success of bands like oasis boiled down to timing as much as talent.

Yeah, sorry mate, I just get tired of having to read about how horrible my generation's music is 9,000 times a day online, often with some comments about rapping or autotune, you know? Gets on your nerves after a bit, especially when you can even be listening to A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay as I was the other day, and see the top comment be about how music was real music when that was released, not like today's rubbish. I mean, that's an EDM single from 2014, for God's sake. I don't understand why everyone seems to enjoy thinking that mainstream music is suddenly bad now, no matter what they're listening to. You're probably right that Oasis wouldn't blow up today, but that's the nature of pop - always changing. Eminem wouldn't have got a look-in in 1972. All massive acts, from Kanye to Nirvana to Oasis to Beethoven, all benefit to some degree from coming about at the right time, the important bit is to be happy that Oasis had their moment, and to still appreciate the genres that are on top right now.

You never disappoint do you? xD You sound way better than any other Liam impressionist I've ever heard and I've seen some really good cover bands. Are you and your band planning on playing Norwich soon? I know it's a bit out of the way but you'll get a great and lively crowd guaranteed. I know the Waterfront would have you, it's the best venue out here and they had Nowaysis (I think, can't remember the name actually, I was very drunk) last month and the singer isn't a patch on you

I'm no longer in Noasis, the travelling became to much and had stuff going on personally so it wasn't really for me anymore. I've just read up on that bar though and it sounds like it would of been a perfect venue. Maybe it was Noasis who you saw with the new singer?

I think another Oasis or Beatles being out today could just be what the industry needs. Perhaps if either band existed today it could be as big of an impact and shift the industry into that direction of music again. In the 90's there really wasn't anything really like Oasis and they came along and set the trend.

Do you mind sharing the chords you're using?
