Beatles fan here, but they broke so much ground so quickly, from tight harmonics and getting Hamburg wet to wholeome boy band breaking out to fucking all sorts of heartbreak beat songs. I'm probably being an attempted muso wanker, and although they got there on merit, they had all the best studio editing and mixing innovator heads soon to take them on. They were worth it and what they did hasn't been bettered. I love it to death but it's kind self-contained and limiting now. Do you know what I'm on about, because I don't.

 

[Humberto]

I mean this is a rough sounding but again it's better than the Beatles. Why though? It's cooler? Fuck knows.

 

[Humberto]

Next generation but you've got all sorts of Unit 731 atrocity survivors then this. Then the cigar chompers wouldn't like that.

 

[Lotte]

Yes all good points. There was more scope for musical and lyrical weirdness in pop music in the nineties and noughties than in Dad/Lad rock in my book. Things like Missy Elliot's Get Ur Freak on, even Up and Down by the Vengaboys sound deranged compared to Toploader...

Remember when Melody Maker were trying to hype Toploader as this amazing revolutionary new rock band? Give me the Vengaboys any day. At least The Computer Song is entertainingly batshit (it's about a computer getting an STD). And there was far more exciting music around anyway, the late '90s/early '00s was a great time for British rock (I went through a period this year of listening to Cay's Nature Creates Freaks).

Britpop Bri mangled the lyrics to make them look shitter. But it was a bit:



at the time. Thought it was worse in the noughties.

I see the reunion rumours are heating up again. They come and go. Wonder if Labour can arm the Music Police with powers to stop this happening.

 

[Sasaferrato]

It's OK, but gets a bit friable with repeated use. Our local florist sells it.

Are Oasis still Labour-inclined?

Noel was saying what a great bloke Blair was a few years ago in the Big Issue. Reckoned the only issue people had with him was his toothy smile or something.

 

[savoloysam]

Is Noel finally running out of Cash then? Perhaps he needs a stage (lol) now that he's no longer on Googlebox?

I'd be interested to see how much they are going to charge for tickets

I jest a little because although not a fan I do like a handful of their tracks. Got zero interest in seeing them live though.

Edited - I always get the two of them mixed up.

 

[maomao]

The only thing worse than Oasis is...

...oh, nothing's worse than Oasis.

 

[ouirdeaux]

And why is this the top story on every fucking news programme? I've switched to Deutschlandfunk in desperation. If they mention it, I may hang myself.

Think it's Noel's bank balance that needs a boost, he's got a £20m divorce in the pipeline.

While Liam's just got two new hips from trying to walk like King Monkey his entire adult life, so if they're going to do it, could be now or never.

Not for me, saw them enough back in the day.

 

[PursuedByBears]

Definitely meh. Bye.

 

[philosophical]

Don’t like the voices.

 

[skyscraper101]

The thing that puts me off about Oasis isn’t so much the music (which up to a point I didn’t mind a bit back in the day). Instead it’s the sort of bucket hat / stone island knobbers who are attracted to them. Same for the stone roses. I imagine going to their gigs now as like being surrounded by a sea of cunts.

 

[mojo pixy]

Some might say the world's full of new musics / go and tell it to the man who lives in 1996

Recreate the gig at home for less by listening to the Beatles, sniffing shit cocaine and getting someone to throw a pint of piss over you intermittently

Stoked for their experiments with drift phonk

Yea but it's always been off the cards because Noel was refusing to rebuild bridges.
