I like Oasis, I've got all their records, I've seen them live. But 'Standing On The Shoulders...' is a crap album full of turgid, plodding tunes.Quote:

And I paid full price for mine the week it came out. Yes, I'd rather have ten packets of biscuits. Ideally chocolate.

As i've said loads of times, we're all different aren't we ? I think Standing On The Shoulders of Giants is a SUPERB psychedelic triumph!!!! The first 4 Oasis albums are absolutely great but, when when Oasis did Heathen Chemistry, that's when I felt the standard started to drop and, after that, it wasn't good except for the single "Shock Of The Lightning" which was bangin'!!! :thumbsup:Quote:

I thought 'Heathen Chemistry' was a slight return to form. As you say all a personal thing.Quote:

I dont think either of them are doing anything that's much good; as I've said in a previous post, I wish the pair of them would sort their differences out and do what the fans all want and reform Oasis. Even if they don't do any new music, just do some gigs before they get too old to do it - Liams voice seems OK at the moment from what I've seen and Noel can still sing and play OK so, do it now before it's too late!!!! :thumbsup:Quote:

It was the style at the time. Like tying an onion to your belt.Quote:

I didn't realise it was a thing, though I'd see Ian Broudie dressing similar on stage. I would call it the "Just a flying visit" look. Probably cost a fortune too, even though they were easily replicated by your average scrote about town, trying to keep warm while looking for car stereos to steal.Quote:
