Yep, agree mimmi, all those shows always have an air of nostalgia, my dad watched so much of that classic comedy that it’s engrained in my mind! Similarly my dad grew up watching Dads Army and still loves it to this day. An ever present show in my life, totally uncynical and heart warming.

There's absolutely nothing in Noel's solo career to suggest he's more eclectic. Fine, some of the songs on Council Skies might not be traditional Oasis fare, but the changes are not significant enough in difference to make you think 'wow, this is a stylistic u-turn'.

The one time that has happened, he needed David Holmes to drag him out of that rut.

Outside of Who Built The Moon, everything is bland midtempo comfort zone fodder.

Oh he hung out at one of his VIP swanky parties a few years back. Cringe worthy to the extreme.

I want the house album he and Mark Coyle apparently made.

For all the songs that were available during the DBTT sessions, its almost criminal that they put out the album with that final tracklist.

Hypothetically, if A Moon Shaped Pool was the last album, that's an impressive way to go regardless

I'm not the biggest Radiohead fan but I see the beauty in it, if not feel it as much as others. Sonically, that album is what modern acts should aspire to sound like. I don't mean in the orchestration or musicality of that album, but the fact that it isn't caught up in the loudness wars and has very dynamic production like albums of a bygone era. Every Radiohead album does it and they are the best produced act out there.

Songwriters for hire aren't perfect, but I like GlastoEls movie analogy. I think its similar for music, a song written with somebody in mind and like an actor or director, they take ownership of it of the material provided.

That's the same with Wyatt, as it is for John Squire. Maybe the latter has more common reference points and musical influences for Liam, but it's only by familiarity that these things feel 'right', the opposing argument to that is its too narrow minded and safe.

Wyatt and co do a better job than Beady Eye where the songs were safe in their influences but atrocious, and even better than the half assed efforts of latter Oasis. I probably agree its not as rock as we'd like (I'd love to hear a really aggressive punky album from Liam), but so much of Liam's careers has emphasised the pop side of things just as much.

Obviously there's not going to be the soulful connection Liam has with Noel's songs, where familial ties and a shared upbringing delivers something of more emotive impact with great conviction. Even then, you could say those ties were waning when both became rich and famous and Noel's songs stopped being about life in a northern town with escapist fantasies.

Hope he keeps the harmonica bit in, or doesn't replace it with a trumpet or something farcical like that.

I think Oasis deserved the Beatles rip off tag in the 2000s when many of their songs around then embarrassingly aped the Fab Four, but at the same time, so many journalists make the most tenuous links like it does here.

I even read a review of Be Here Now that referenced Stand By Me being influenced by The Beatles because even though there is the massive Ben E King hit of the same name, the reviewer assumed they got that from the same song on account of John Lennon covering it. Some mental gymnastics going on there.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to cancel. There’s absolute fuck all on Amazon Prime.
