    I have bought the Oasis albums but never felt the urge to see them live - some very good tunes in the mix though

    FLAC -> Synology DS413j NAS -> SB Touch -> CA DacMagic -> Icon Audeo Sterio 40i -> LV Auditorium

    Office System
    FLAC -> Ubuntu server running LMS -> SB3 -> Kenwood Amp (from the 80's) -> Mordaunt-Short MS.3.40

    I do think Ghost In The machine is rather good as well and is their best recorded album. Frankly non of their stuff is realy bad though a few tunes bordering on the cringe worthy.

    As for Sting Solo - Dream of the Blue Turtles I find rather too Jazzy. Nothing Like The Sun, The Soul Cages and Ten Summoners Tales are superb. After that a gradual decline. That Xmas album he did would have been good if they had used the live performances and other songs they did in the film. His other stuff still has a smattering of decent songs but tries to bow to modern trends. Couldn't be bothered with the lute music thing or orchestrated album. I believe an album of new stuff (written for a musical) is coming out soon.

    Nope.
    4th division Beatles
    Never could understand their popularity
    Oasis have a few good to great songs even if they basically copy bits of Beatles/Slade T Rex etc. Noel is so gobby big headed he drew attention by admitting it. The guy does have some talent though. Unfortunately they almost invented bad compressed/loud recording. Beady Eye shows how crap the rest are without NG.

    A friend of mine thinks the sun shines out of the Gallagher brothers and says that Beady Eye are the best group out currently.... hmm I don't think so!!

    Tried watching them in concert once - and I do try as I have had many of my opinions totally overturned, Sting being one
    Nope, couldn't see (or hear) it
    Nothing there worth having
