Oasis

[bolt pp]

Been having this debate with a few people over the past couple of days and have been surprised about how split opinions have been, seemingly based on age.

Just wondering what you Oasis fans, music enthusiasts and insomniacs thought?

For me its Morning glory by a mile, followed by Definitely Maybe and Masterplan, I always assumed others thought like wise(about the first two at least) but not the case.

(There is no: "they're all crap" option, though one may be added later if there is sufficient demand)

no contest definetely maybe without a doubt.

From personal experience... its JUST morning glory, followed by definitely maybe.. for me its the quality of their 2nd album which overrides the newness of the 1st.. you just cant beat dont look back in anger!! ( as a man city fan its a good thing to think!!)

There are only two Oasis albums. Number 1 and Number 2 on your list

Summer Fruits is definitely my favourite Oasis number, but I'll take Orange if thats all they've got left.

no contest definetely maybe without a doubt.

I agree, had an energy, freshness and buzz about it. Anything after that has been as dull as dish water and ultimately very disappointing. Unlike other bands, Oasis have never really kept up with the times or tried to reinvent themselves. Instead choosing to churn out the same old droney tripe over and over again. As a result, I think many fans became bored with them and the novelty of the two Gallagher brothers as characters soon wore off.

However, I still think they can pull out the odd decent tune, but as for albums, I doubt they have it in them to produce something as good as Definitely Maybe again. I still listen to it now, and he really does have life to it, something that all their other stuff severly lacks.

Its a Definitely Never Again situation.

   I completely agree.

Though i Will say i think they got a lot more stick than they deserved for be here now.

Every song went on for ten minutes and it was nowhere nearly as good as the previous two(wasn't ever really gonna be) but i dont think it was as bad as the press made out.

Definately maybe, prob in the top 3 debut albums of all time.

Agreed.

[redimp]

voted def maybe by far the best album

But not a patch on The stone roses debut album imo

[NoflopsHomer]

Revolver by the Beatles.

[The Baron]

The above mentioned two albums are also amazing.

[Graham C]

Definently Maybe for me.  Didn't realise they had so many albums out

 

[GlasgowBandit]

I'm another fan of Definately Maybe.

I was actually having a similar conversation with some folk other night.  Great band at their peak.

I remember the days where we used to wander around Auchinlea Park with a bottle of win and a ghetto blaster with some Oasis, Paul Weller, Verve!  WOW - they where the good old days - I feel I am getting old!
