Should be a dominant Be Here Now’s 1997 era thread. Let’s see.
Oasis and cocaine, the peanut butter and jelly of Rock ‘n Roll. The coked up Beatles. So much fun resulted.
I need to give this some serious consideration. Way too many excellent candidates. This isn’t an easy task.

arguably all around the world and the fact that a 9 minute song had a reprise.

There are obvious mentions, but honestly, my mind went immediately to Headshrinker.

Between My Big Mouth and Gettin' Better (Man!!).
What's annoying is that they might be the two best-written songs on Be Here Now when you think of consistent verse/bridge/chorus quality. I wish we could get versions of them where the brilliant songcraft wasn't hidden so much behind the muddy wall of sound - give the latter tune to 1995 Oasis and it honestly could have been a hit single.

hmmm... Never thought that My Big Mouth is a coked-up song. It's a rocker, it's a challenge song, it shows who Oasis are - greatest band that live without looking back to others. MBM lyrics are far from, well, cokeness. Much hope, much 'deal with it', much screaming into the sky...
Coked-up song should have nonsense lyrics and stupid melody, like 'he-he, that shit we write while smoking mother nature is ceeewl'. That's Be Here Now easily. Toilet flush, mellotron, touchdowns, 'be my magic carpet ride', 'get a grip on yourself inside', take another lyric - everything's about 'WTF?'. It's fun but the most stupid song Oasis ever released

My Big Mouth for sure could've been a big hit, had it been produced like Some Might Say or Acquiesce. Even having a third of the guitar layers with the same production would've sounded good. |

I Got the Fever. The song has guitar solos & riffs all over and both Liam & Noel sound really coked up, especially when dropping that cheeky Phil Collins reference. Plus the ending is just absolutely chaos that I imagine the guys thought sounded brilliant when they were making the song  |

The Fame also because noel was so coked up so he decided to sing it the beginning of I've Got The Fever is pure madness  love it |

Be Here Now (track)
The lyrics are nonsense, guitars loud as hell, Liam rehashing the Come on's Yeahs from Columbia, finishing off with massive feedback and the sound of a toilet flushing. This single track sums up the best pieces of cocaine fueled rock music.

That song frustrates me no end. Such a vocal performance. Such an amazing bridge, such a catchy chorus. But play it to someone who isn't an Oasis fan and all they'll hear is a mess of noise with some bloke shouting away in the middle of it. Be Here Now should always have been dense and loud, but the production on some tracks really threw the baby out with the bath water. I think sometimes us mega-fans take it for granted that we've sat with those songs enough to recognise the great tunes at the heart of them - for a casual fan putting the CD in halfway through 1997, it must have sounded like an ungodly mess. Still, fucking brilliant, though. That bridge! |

(I Got) The Fever is great but The Fame isn't really one of Oasis's best b.sides from the Be Here Now era. However I've always loved Flashbax.
