Beast of Burden
Oh yeah that's good, 'we'll have lasaaaaagnyaaaaaa'

That and 'married with children' have a bit of tongue-in-cheek humour to them that most oasis songs don't, esp as they got too big for their parkas

I was joking. But what is interesting about that song is that it was supposed to be (apparently) a pointed pastiche/piss-take of Blur.

I'm surprised how big a deal this is, apparently. It's all over my social media feed and it was one of the top stories on the gruniad today.

I was barely aware they were split up tbh.

Looking at Spotify though underlines how huge they were/still are, 2 billion plays for wonderwall I don't think I've seen many songs on that level of popularity

The fawning coverage frames the summer of 1996 as the modern day English pinnacle, but then it is always 30 years ago in modern media or thereabouts i guess. Editors in their 50s revisiting youth

I reckon the first two nights in Heaton Park would probably be the best of the announced dates, feel like the crowd at Wembley will be ruined by the worst group of Boxpark pub grub pint throwing twats the world has ever seen

also you are going to die @version

Ah- you see my problem with Booka Shade is that they're not prog trance enough! (or perhaps, in the wrong way...) I was anticipating a kind of delicate hyper-ergonomic avant-Xpander (as in the much hated Sasha) type stuff, and was disappointed by how flat and dull it was... with the exception of the opening track, which is excellent.

The big difference betwixt Booka and The Knife is that the Knife are clearly a pop/song act, rather than a pure instrumental dance act, and so there's plenty of "content" which works within the bounds of relatively modest pieces.

definitely need to do sick and disgusting tortures on @craner for syntactical abominations such as that. Thought our head honcho was a refined man who had read Tolstoy and would conduct a merciless struggle against such prolixity?

I'm 39 years old Japanese guy.
When I listened to album Morning Glory at first , lightning sparks in my body.
I was 18 years old then and Oasis colour my life every epic moments.
Noel is one of gods for me like Ayrton Senna , Souichiro Honda and so on.

I don't understand why Kulkarni bought into this hysteria. they are the blandest of the bland, not even that objectionable

what i don't get is why they are so adored and so hated. they to me sound like every other white indie band. no passion, no drama, no spunk, no terror, nothing. that idiotic democratist golden mean which caused k-punk to jizz over Dido and for luke to defend a departed user from here.

Like can someone tell me why they are artistically so good or so bad, without referring to cultural conservatism? they can't because they are not artistic, and fail to entertain. in many ways, what England deserves, not because of brexit, but precisely because it has beaten its population into submission for any old muck which then they have the gall to tout as romantic nationalism. I'd definitely go to an oasis gig if someone got me a free ticket and bought me all my drinks, just for a night out, but i can easily block out the music.
