Saw Harry Styles listed as the 'millenial Mick Jagger' in a magazine today.

Which I thought was a bit harsh on Harry.

I don't like Jimmy Hendrix at all. Maybe he did some revolutionary things with guitar, I don't know, maybe he played guitar behind is back and all that...

It doesn't matter to me to be honest, when I play his record, it just sound like some boring, stereotypical 60s record. I look at him just as 60s rock poster boy. Music for old farts living in dusty apartments or for people who wants to show how cool and rock and roll they are and they say they listen to Jimmy but they know one or two of his songs(which he didn't wrote btw).

No insult to real fans :-)

He was a solid blues guitarist who used a shit ton of effects. Revolutionary? I don't think so. I can safely say that I was about as good as him by the time I was about 13.

Don't know about that but they said thay Blur won the battle but Oasis won the war and I would say that actually Noel won the battle and Damon won the war.

Who Built the Moon is better than anything Damon has put out for nearly a decade.

Rammstein's last good album was Reise Reise, the following 3 albums were/are weak.

I'd agree that Damon is a more dynamic songwriter than Noel, but I disagree otherwise. Noel penned two legendary albums while Damon penned some good songs but 7 or 8/10 albums at best.

Damon has Parklife and the first Gorillaz album. Legendary in my book. The Magic Whip, Plastic Beach, and The Now Now are great as well. I always thought Damon was a much better lyricist than Noel. I know my chances of swaying opinions of the people on an Oasis forum on this issue are near nonexistent, but I'll give it a go. Damon's lyrics are much more thorough and meaningful than Noel's. Even Noel's more meaningful lyrics don't make any sense. "Lately, did you ever feel the pain in the morning rain, as it soaks you to the bone" .... What the fuck does that mean? I'm sure you could come up with a meaning if you thought hard enough, but that's not the point. Damon has done the whole gibberish lyrics thing, but he is more than capable of writing great lyrics. 


I would however say this, Damon has lower lows as a songwriter than Noel. Humanz is worse than anything Noel has ever released. The broader point is that Damon is better with lyrics, though Noel may be better with melodies.


P.S, I'm not trying to degrade Noel as a songwriter, He's brilliant. I just think Damon is better. It's still close.

I thoroughly agree. As a side note, Two era defining song writers got together and made a mediocre album track. I think they should get together with two acoustic guitars, a note pad, and a shit ton of lsd. would be interesting.

I still like Modern Life Is Rubbish and Parklife, but in all honesty, I haven't listened to Blur in a good few years. Loved them back in my early 20s, now I'm in my late 20s and I'm not that fussed by them.

I agree with 2 and 5; love seeing those two bands get praise, especially Beach House, but do agree that The National has become a bit stale recently.

Point 1, I think the Foo Fighters are good but they've just done the same thing over and over again and it's just hard to dive into their discography like it is other bands that have a more diverse discography. I do respect them for keeping rock alive and taking different approaches to it recently; Wasting Light had a cool mix of warm analogue sounds and digital production, Sonic Highways had the 8 songs, 8 cities approach, and Concrete Gold saw them branching out to working with pop Greg Kurstin. 

With point 3, though, I totally disagree. There was damn good electronic music and fusion of funk, disco, and pop going on, as well as hip hop starting to get its leg, that it led to the '90s as we know it. Not to mention, all the great post-punk, new wave, and alternative bands that came from then; The Smiths, R.E.M., New Order, The Replacements, The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Stone Roses, and so forth... There was a lot of good stuff. 

The constant black metal use of ov has to stop. Oh and kvlt.
