I think David Bowie heros would have been so much better ? And it really lifts half way through !! .

Heroes was used during the 2012 London Olympics. A while ago, granted, but still quite recent in the scheme of things.
In any case, to use that song as an unironic anthem about someone being a hero is to misuse/misunderstand it.

After that amazing game last night Wonderwall and Don’t look Back in Anger will be in my heart forever. Stunning performance. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Noel writing 2 anthems. One that became defined by a tragedy and one becoming a song for the terraces

I don't get why 'Wonderwall' has to be a thing. Was St Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band real? What's an Egg man,
or a walrus?

Hallucinogenics.

1000% better than Sweet Caroline though

Agree 100%!

HoldMyWine · 19/07/2026 19:21

Agree. Hate the song, can’t stand Oasis. Status Quoaisis. The most yawnsome band.

It always was a load of wank and remains so.
Best tribute to Liam was Kathy burkes
Perrys return from Manchester.

Give it a rest. It's a really good song. Yeah, fair play, people singing it in parks is tedious but on the whole it is an excellent, memorable song which has objectively stood the test of time. Even if it's not to your taste calling it "dirge" is objectively absurd. It's artistically very impressive. I couldn't do better. The issue may be one of over familiarity rather than talent.

@Goldenbear John Squire is a fabulous guitarist

I don't disagree but I think some of this is about the age you were when these bands were popular. I mean I really liked Suede and actually found the more relatable coming from a boring suburb in London at the time. However, I am not sure how anyone can argue that Oasis are talentless.

MerryUmberHedgehog · 19/07/2026 16:50

Yeah its pretty crap.

the80sweregreat · 19/07/2026 16:47

A lot of lyrics to songs don’t make a huge amount of sense at times. Plus many were probably written under the influence of narcotics or alcohol or both, so often tend to be a bit suspect as well.

Sartre · 19/07/2026 16:45

All Oasis songs are in one monotone note because they can’t actually sing.

I'm not an Oasis fan but I do like their Wonderwall song. I was more Blur than Oasis back in the day.

What is the significance of Wonderwall now though? If it's football related, then it's Three Lions by the Lightning Seeds. That's the big football anthem.

Fans were asked to nominate three songs. Players/Teams then gave them to FIFA. Noel Gallagher is a avid Man city fan and Wonderwall started being sung at Man City matches quite a while ago. When he's in concert in Liverpool, he used to tell the audience to get ready to worship their God and up popped a picture of Pepe Guardiola, but it was taken in good humour (I go to his concerts).
It's a simple song, easily remembered and sung and works off tune.

the80sweregreat · 19/07/2026 16:28

I see the title as someone who adores someone else and thinks of them as someone to look up to. Which is all probably wrong , but it seems that way to me. I don’t even think the band knows exactly what it means !
I do prefer ‘ don’t look back in anger ‘ though.

Admarl · 17/07/2026 22:53

It's just the same note over and over.

Plus a wonderwall isn't even a thing.

Yes. It’s a boring dirge,. 🙄

Goldenbear · 19/07/2026 16:25

The fall out between Blur and Oasis was also jumping on the North/South divide I think.

Goldenbear · 19/07/2026 16:21

QuintadosMalvados · 18/07/2026 15:35

If it's England playing then it's got to be Fool's Gold. 😁
I too prefer The Stone Roses. They were far more melodic.

Show quote history

The Stone Roses were a different generation though. I get that they were played loads in the 90s but their band was formed in the early 80s when oasis were kids.

I think Live Forever is one of their best songs but then again I was 14 when this came out and it reminds me of happy times with friends. I don't think Wonderwall is terrible and since when did lyrics have to be literal? Songs aren't a factual description of real life.

the80sweregreat · 19/07/2026 16:13

What’s the story .. ? is a great album.
I’m not even a huge Oasis fan really , but that one is up there in my top ten.
I also love Blur , the whole falling out was pretty much manufactured by their marketing team I think. Don’t think it did either bands much harm though tbh!

Error404FucksNotFound · 19/07/2026 16:03

Yes, they were a bit shit imo.

zurigo · 19/07/2026 15:59

Agreed, it's a tedious dirge.
