Thread to love Oasis B-sides

[SoGone]

..."The Masterplan" might even be better than "Sci-Fi Lullabies." Maybe?



Nah...but still pretty damn good. Why they left off the other tracks from "Don't Look Back In Anger," not to mention "Round Are Way," is as much a mystery as why they thought "All Around The World (Reprise)" was a good idea.

I like 'Acquiesce'... And of course 'The Masterplan' is a great song...

[SoGone]

...for personal reasons, Rockin' Chair is my favorite, but the two you mentioned are the next two in line!


(Though maybe Cum On Feel The Noize is better than Masterplan...hmm...)

[mark]

Rockin' Chair is a fucking atrocious song lol!!! But maybe that's why you like it so much???!!! But if it's for personal reasons that's fair enough....

Oh and i've never heard their version of Cum On Feel The Noize but surely it can't surpass Slade's original????!!!

[SoGone]

I hate Slade, but I love Oasis' version.



What's wrong with Rockin' Chair? Don't you ever feel like you want to get out of your nowhere town?

[mark]

just a shit song, imo of course...

[SoGone]

Personal taste, of course, but I can totally relate to this (and I love the tune):


"I'm older than I used to be/This town holdsd no more for me/All my life I've tried to find a better way"

[mark]

yeah lyrically it's ok but it's sung in such a passionless, twee, cheesy way...

[SoGone]

Hmm, I don't think you can describe Liam's singing that way...at least not the 1990's Liam! Even the wretched "Wonderwall" has a corker of a vocal.


...maybe if Noel sang it? Or are you a Noel hater?

[mark]

No, Noel's a better singer... oh and yeah the tune more than Liam's sining is the problem with that song - maybe everything's wrong with it i dunno!!!...

[SoGone]

LOL, I'm a Noel person too. Not to take anything away from Liam, but it'd be ace if there were versions of every vintage Oasis track with BOTH singing...just as I'd love to hear a Liam "Don't Look Back in Anger," I'd love to have a Noel-sung "Slide Away."

[mark]

Interesting idea... Although I like the way those songs are sung already...

[SoGone]

I do too; I don't really have any fault with the singing on any pre-Standing On The Shoulder tracks...it'd just be nice to have!

[car wash *unt]

Rockin' Chair is grand.

[mark]

it's boring lol....
