That was a place and a half, lived there with friends in 1980.

Wow really ? What were your experiences ? I did a deep dive into it a few months ago, following on from a thread on here actually, it was a travesty, walls not even joined and the text book blue print for anti social activities, so sad when all people needed was a home. There are forums about it and some good photos, one of Steve coogan with his MX5 when he first made some money and he refused to park it there, would have been c 1990 looking at the reg. the Area looks good now it’s been redeveloped, I looked on street view

I read Ian used to live in the Hulme Crescents when it became a Counter society

Like everything Oasis have ever churned out it’s a boring miserable drone.

I think Ian is currently off the white powder and alcohol. The key word here being currently

I don't think there's a lot in it tbh.

The main thing is the music, the Roses music is in a different (better) league. Most musicians take drugs, that's not the point, loads of people do.😍🤐I'll shut up now x

I HATE Sweet Caroline
I don't mind Wonderwall.

My 16 year old DS is the biggest Oasis fan with an Oasis bedroom and vinyl collection including Beady Eye and High Flying birds.
I'm going to try my absolute hardest to get him tickets next year, I think he'd cry seeing them live. I saw them in the 90s.

He would be absolutely fuming at this thread! 😂

Tell your son we saw them in Wembley last year.
They were amazing and definitely one of the best ever concerts I have been to. Wembley was literally shaking. Good luck getting tickets.

I think it’s fabulous. I had the albums in the 90s - most of us did. It was fine then but I felt Blur had the edge. I think time has told a different story. Oasis’s music has transcended its origins, it speaks to ordinary people, and no matter the meaning (or insensibility) of the words, many of their songs annd simple rhythms are anthemic. There’s a sadness about it but also a depth, the extraordinary in the ordinary and humdrum of people’s lives. I feel the same about some of Richard Ashcroft’s songs for the Verve. They bring people together in a very special way. The gig last summer at Wembley I went to was one of the best I’ve seen, they’ve matured so no stupid arseholery and seeing Richard Ashcroft beforehand was fabulous too.

I feel differently about Mr Brightside, loved hot Fuss, loved it back in the day, have seen the killers many times but I’m sick to death of that song. For me the popularity has ruined it.

Is Mr Brightside considered an Anthem for a generation ? Genuine question

I think so. Along with Chelsea dagger. That would be my generation

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

I'd have said Stone Roses too but saw them at the IoW festival a few years ago and they were absolutely shite.
Also saw Oasis in the summer of '95 in a big top tent on Irvine beach. Bloody awful. Liam in a cagoule shaking a bloody tambourine😂

PuppyMonkey · 18/07/2026 16:23

I used to like Oasis when they first came out in the 90s but now I can’t listen to them because I’ve realised how shite the lyrics are. They make no sense.

Today was gonna be the day but they’ll never throw it back to you.
By now you shoulda somehow realised what you got to do.
What the fuck am I on about?
Not a fucking clue, mate.

I liked the thing they did with the comb, I thought that was quite creative.

Possibly the most creative thing they've ever done in their entire career.

RedCarsAreNice · 18/07/2026 07:39

I feel this way about Mr Brightside. It's utter shit

Oh yes and this one. AWFUL!!

Pabbel · 18/07/2026 16:18

I like it, it was quite emotional when the fans sang it to the team at the end of the match.

operationplaytime · 18/07/2026 16:16

It’s awful. As is Sweet Caroline.

My eyes were rolling back in my head when they all started warbling wonderwall after every match 🙄
that was the upside of losing the semi final - that we didn’t have to sit through that dross again

Tableforjoan · 18/07/2026 16:14

Never got the hype around oasis or this song in particular. Terrible song.

LagerLady · 18/07/2026 16:13

Sorry it's scissors not a comb

It's a dirge.

Exactly the phrase I was going to post!

UnctuousUnicorns · 18/07/2026 16:10

Admarl · 17/07/2026 22:53

It's just the same note over and over.

Plus a wonderwall isn't even a thing.

What else would you expect from the most pedestrian band ever? 🤷‍♀️

RedToothBrush · 18/07/2026 16:08

The Roses did a great total of how many albums?! And then dined out on it for years. I think there may be a little hype going on there too.

And I love both bands!

RedToothBrush · 18/07/2026 16:07

Antigny86 · 18/07/2026 15:47

That's your opinion. At least Ian Brown was in a great band whose songs are enjoyable. Oasis are totally hyped, they are laughing down their coked up noses. I lived around the corner from them, unpleasant.

Denim4ever · 17/07/2026 23:07

It's not great but it's better than Champagne Supernova

Came on to say the exact same thing 😂

Go Let It Out and anything from Be Here Now are also even worse in the boring/single note stakes. And shit lyrics too. It’s my belief Oasis wrote about 4 good songs and then started trolling us.

whiteroseredrose · 18/07/2026 15:49

Haha. I like it.

I like most of Oasis’s music too, although Stone Roses are my favourite. Love Pulp too.

I don’t like what I’ve seen of the Gallagher brothers, but I still like their music.

Cant stand Take That music and the toy soldier suits and dad dancing are dire.
