Is there an Oasis song you like now that you genuinely didn't like before?
Or one you could just about bear earlier that you now love?
If so , which one and why the change of heart?

Mine would probably be Going Nowhere.
I first heard it at about 9 or 10 when we got The Masterplan on CD, and for quite a few years after I really didn't like it. I thought it was a bit of a dull, whiney tune that (rather fittingly I guess) went nowhere.
I hadn't really discovered that much older music back then, so I didn't recognise the Bacharach style they were going for. And even though I'm only 23, I now relate with the lyrics a lot more (especially lines like "wanna be wild cos my life's so tame", "growing older in the rain"). And now I realise how awesome the arrangements and production are - that instrumental keyboard outro could go on for 2 minutes and I wouldn't be bored. I obviously used to skip on to the next track before that part....
So yes, a tune I initially didn't like is now my 6th favourite by Oasis

Champagne Supernova never did anything for me until I heard it played live by Noel, then I GOT it, finally.
And the same thing recently seems to have happened with Roll with it since I heard it at Liam's gigs.
The magic of live music, will never fail to astonish me.

I was similar about Its Good To Be Free , id always liked it but my appreciation grew when i heard an acoustic live version.

Hmm, The Turning. The choir is just so epic. And the transition from Bag It Up.

I can't help but feel I haven't reached my 're-discovery' phase of Dig Out Your Soul yet, which i did with Giants and DBTT last year. Ive never tired of my favourites (the singles, by chance), but some tracks ive not listened to in a few years.

Ive never tired of my favourites (the singles, by chance), but some tracks ive not listened to in a few years. It’s my favourite Oasis album. Granted, It’s not filled with standalone classics, but as an album, it flows as well for me as no other Oasis release. I’ve always thought it was about some kind of apocalypse or a post-apocalyptic world and the lyrics seem to resonate with this idea pretty well. Sometimes, when a lesson is plain boring, I try to imagine what kind of apocalyptic situations would the songs fit in or what kind of characters could they represent in such a world. I believe it would be great basis for some kind of collection of shorter stories of said topic, with each piece of writing complementing a number on the album. It could then lead the listener/reader through how the world or just individual people evolved under apocalyptic circumstances. You get the idea. The cherry on the cake for me though is the art style of the album. The cover (and the covers of the singles) is quite simply the coolest of them all, the booklet is brilliant, and this era saw the best Oasis merch, the best posters and even the best Oasis logo as well.

Interesting... normally the biggest hits (Wonderwall, SMS, DLBIA, LF, DYKWIM) are the ones people go off over time, as they've heard em too much.

As a result i miss out on enjoying a few songs , as i can't sit back and take them as they are . Hence why i liked songs such as Hey Now, Digsys Dinner and Force of Nature as a kid, but went off them as i grew up .

Ive always liked it, but as a kid i only ever listened to it while listening to DM, and used to view it as sort of the valley between 2 peaks (RNRS & LF). Now that its typically on Smartphones where you play songs one at a time, i do find myself listening to it a bit more.

I’ll agree with Hey Now. It was the runt of the litter of MG but it’s one I’ve found myself going back to a lot over the last 5-6 years.
The lyrics for me in this one seem to really point to something I can relate to but can’t quite describe or grasp. Not all the lines, as it is with Noel’s songs, but the general feel.

Better man
At first I thought it would be typical LAG garbage but because of this forum I gave it another listen and it’s the best thing since Beethoven’s fifth

D'You Know What I Mean
I'm not native so 1st thing I love in Oasis before I started to understand English was melody. And I didn't understand why Gallaghers chose it as lead single - so long, just guitars, nothing special (and I still think My Big Mouth should be 1st single but whatever). But then came Noel Rethink which is epic. Goddamn, I remember I worked in a children camp at that time and NG Rethink just came out. I listened to this every m-fckn morning before work 2 weeks in a row. I went on highway (camp was outside the town in 15 minutes from last bus stop) and I turned it on and... wow, fantastic. So inspiring. And just imagine if you know lyrics of DYKWIM and then you go just like me. What a picture. Then ofc I learnt English and now I know lyrics but I still prefer strings version of NG Rethink to original one

Probably Fade Away. I remember getting The Masterplan cassette (eh...) and thinking there was nothing special in Fade Away. Then I heard the War Child version (that's still my preferred version), and the lyrics sprung out much more. Actually, the older I get, the better the song gets. Rather sad and still hopeful at the same time.
I still heavily dislike the original production, though.

I could always relate to the "as it fell from the sky, I asked myself why, can I never let anyone in line"... Still to this day, I often need a kick to the butt to open up and share... I get where you are coming from though, for there are songs that the lyrics annoy me to no end...just not Hey Now! :- )

Very good thread idea.
I will write more later, but Gas Panic immediately comes to mind.
