Wonderwall - opinions

[BigMoaner]

it's bombing on urban75, that's for sure!

 

[el-ahrairah]

It's ultimately a love song.

Great melody and proved to be a great credible success.

It's really not hard to understand how this track and Oasis as a group proved to be so successful.

But musical tastes will always be subjective, however their (Oasis) success is objective and is well known.

credible

you don't have speak some nonsense. were you in oasis?

 

[el-ahrairah]

Oasis have said in the past that a wonderwall was what their mum called the wall where she stuck up their best pictures and good school reports.

they're lying, it was ripped off from a george harrison record http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderwall_Music

just as they ripped off everything they ever did from the shittier corners of the beatles back catalogue.

Seemed unavoidable when it came out. I was a student at time and it was just everywhere - shared a house where it was the pissed up anthem of choice amongst housemates.

I used to share a house with an army reservist who always put on Billy Joel's Goodnight Saigon when he was pissed, and Motley Crue's version of Jailhouse Rock to get him in the mood for a night out.

I believe Lemmy is on record as saying he hasn't a clue what some of his lyrics mean, he just bashes them out if they sound good.

Difference is, his lyrics actually are good. Gallagher's are the worst kind of 'cat sat on the mat' rhyme for the sake of a rhyme cobblers. Oh, and writing about speed is way better than writing about coke - ditto for writing lyrics whilst on those drugs

Although having said all that - and Lemmy's bollocks lyrics are often inspired bollocks - Gallagher could never have written something like '1916', the dullard

 

[BigMoaner]

gallagher is a dullard.

especially now.

but those first two albums will still be listened to in 100 years time.

I think it's Oasis taking the piss. That's the only explanation as they can actually write a decent song (She's electric, Champagne Supernova).

Exactly.

This is one of my fave Oasis trks v

I didn't mind hearing the odd Oasis tune at the time, but it all just seemed old hat and irrelevant in the 90s, given that we had techno, jungle/drum'n'bass, breakbeat, the revived "Bristol sound", squat parties, reclaim the streets, road protests, etc.

the were the first band to appeal to the working class masses for a long, long time. hardly irrelevant.

Everyone I knew was out raving.

 

[weltweit]

I liked it.
And so did the fans who bought it.
I don't understand this obsession to do down something that has been popular.
Mind you, I didn't buy it

The working class had stopped listening to music since the jam split up.

everyone i knew was too, and also buying definitely maybe and what's the story. the two were in harmony for a good few years.

Apart from all their Big Star rip offs, the fannies peddled the exact same jingle jangle gibberish as Oasis yet never quite made it. Makes you think.

I can't remember any of my raving mates being into them particularly tbh. Roses/Mondays/Inspirals/Madchester before that, but not Oasis.

If anyone had put on Oasis at an afterparty in those days, they would have disappeared in a hail of Holsten Pils cans

lyrically it's meaningless, vague lyrics for thick people to perceive depth.

are you saying people who like this track are thick? Is that what you're saying? Is it? Is that what you're saying about them?? hmmm?

yeh by people looking for examples of what not to do.
