Wonderwall is one of the most boring songs ever

You're right Blur won the battle. Oasis won the war! I'm assuming that I don't have to explain this.
I listened to Parkside recently. I still enjoy it but the songs are so dated.
I listened to What's the Story? recently. Not dated at all.

Init just.

i remember reading somewhere that this line was inspired by Brackett the Butler from the kids’ TV programme ‘Chigley’. Brian Cant must be turning in his grave.

As for Oasis, I found their first album semi-decent but they’ve done nothing worthy of note since. Saw them at Maine Road in about ‘97 but they haven’t worn well. Their music was of that time and for me has been and gone.

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

Is that you Damon?

A song of its time and appeals to people who grew up in the 90s. Bought Noel a house or 2 and it's no worse than other songs by other people. When they tour next year you won't be there singing it.

Yes! It’s a perfectly serviceable song, but I’ve never understood the love for it!

God I hate it. Such a dirge.

It's the only song I can play on guitar!

I agree. I’ve always found Oasis to be somewhat Emperor’s New Clothes though

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.

Seriously this is the worst take on music I’ve ever seen on here.

Thanks, we did try on all devices last year but were unsuccessful unfortunately. I'm even prepared to get tickets in Europe if I can't get them here next year. It would literally make his whole life!

I remember being about 8 in some shop changing room listening to that and thinking WTAF are they on about at the time.

It's alright, just like most of the Oasis/Blur songs - both very much of their time now. But my god so much better than The Stone Roses, Fool's Gold, the only song most people had heard of even back then just drones on without going anywhere. Ian's head wobble dancing is hideous. Also loathed The Happy Monday's - what an embarrassment to music.

The whole 'Madchester' thing though was lame as fuck IMO. It was just who could take the most drugs and so be the most cool.

@Antigny86 thanks so much for replying about this, I’m aware it’s off topic. Yes what a contrast the magnificent Bath Crescent still glowing to this day. Such anger about how people were treated and corruption though. Social housing in the 60’s and brutalist tower blocks fascinate me.

After my time I'm afraid, though the council had trouble collecting rent and keeping a lid on it all! That was a joke, John Nash, Charles Barry etc. There was a terrible scandal over it as someone at the council got a backhander to get them built, more money for the architects etc. We used to laugh at the comparison between the neoclassical and the concrete.

I don’t mind it, although I wouldn’t seek it out to listen to it. It has a certain anthemic quality that I don’t think you can deny. I also don’t mind Champagne Supernova, for similar reasons.

Their first album was dynamite, though, and remains one of my all-time favourites.
The problem was they got rich and famous and didn’t have anything to fuel them any more.

Awful awful whiney dirge. Being Irish, my interest is always diverted by creative people with Irish roots, particularly when it comes to music. But ye’s can keep the Gallagher brothers. I’ve decided they’re English🤣🤣

Definitely not a dirge

Not the best Oasis song I agree.

However there are far worse, Coldplay wanting St Peter to call my name comes to mind.

I don't think anyone likes it for its artistic merit. It just encapsulates specific cultural moment

@Antigny86 thank you ! I’ve seen what I can on YouTube I believe, what made me think this is bizarre is that the architects that the crescents were named after based the design on the Royal Crescent in Bath ! How deluded they must have been to do that ?

ETA I read it went rent free after the residents moved out and it became a free for all

It’s alright, I don’t get absolutely buzzing or anything when it comes on though it’s just an average song!

It was great, many parties, artists, characters. Also dangerous, we were skint and used to stay in groups at various flats because there was a guy saying he was the Ripper and he was going to kill someone. Us women stuck together. I had a bar job and used to walk home at midnight from Oxford Rd, over Hulme Bridge, terrified. Lots of fun too at the shabeens, great music. It was all a bit lawless at times.I think Steve Coogan lived in west didsbury too but not sure when. We were all young 19 or 21 ish. There is a you tube film or two if you search, made at that time x They had moved the families and older people out by then as it was so badly designed and cheaply built and the council were giving out flats like smarties because it was very empty for a while. This was before all the van people moved with their dogs on strings.
