Oasis reunion

I'd be surprised if they didn't do a reunion tour at some point.

It's alright people saying they don't need the money but we are talking about the kind of money that is hard to turn down (although Robert Plant has). It's not just money though, the buzz of playing to an Oasis crowd is something money can't buy.

They don't even need to tour the UK, they can just rock up to the Etihad and play several nights there.

Aside from rehearsing, maybe soundchecks and the gigs themselves, they don't need to see each other: they can have separate dressing rooms, limos, hotels etc

I saw them at Earls Court, Maine Road and Wembley and they won't top Maine Road but I'd definitely like to see them again.

Likewise. Saw them in 95 at Glasto. Not really a die hard fan (the first two albums were great, but much of their stuff thereafter was massively overblown and overproduced IMO), but I’d definitely want to see them again. Can’t see it happening though to be honest

If Oasis had appeared on the scene 2 years earlier they wiuld be as famous as northern uproar or the wendys.

Between 92 and 94 the decline of northern indie musics prominence in favour of shoegazing and grunge gave them an opportunity to tap into a need for a guitar band.

But basically after the first LP and some of the second they are very average, in my opinion.

Nonsense, there are thousands of teenagers now who listen to their music non stop who weren’t born in 92 or 94 or even 96 for that matter. Good music is good music and Oasis songs will stand the test of time, it’s still sounding as relevant and bringing in a new fan base 25 years later.

Always makes me laugh as well when people mention the “just the two albums”. How many have had one good albums let alone two?

The first two albums are outstanding and the subsequent ones are more variable in quality but the Masterplan was a good collection and there's decent stuff across the others but the early raw power and vibrancy is diminished; perhaps as you say too polished.

I'm sure they could come up with a back to basics rock n roll album of quality if they wanted to. They don't need any new material though to put on a great live show.

Probably still the most popular band around the country and they’ve been split up for 10 years. I wouldn’t be bothered if they didn’t get back together as I’ve seen them, but it will happen.

correct. Oasis are mega popular so for that reason they’ll get slagged off - if they were some indie underground band making the same music with less appeal the same people would be banging on about how good they are.

Not really, I was never much a fan at the time before they were mega famous.

It would actually be easy to just pretend to like them as it seems to upset their fans if you say you don't and get slagged off for it.

Oasis songs do not stand the test if time, thats just not the case. If they did then every pub band you hear would still be playing them. Kids who are learning instruments play them because thats how basic the music is. Not having a pop, I love that Oasis are City fans and all that, but their songs are not classics. I like Noel's stuff, but again its just like

That’s complete bollocks to be honest. Go to a party or gathering now and regardless of age it’s the Oasis songs that get the biggest reaction towards the end of a night. Definitely Maybe is almost 30 years old and still sounds brilliant. Morning Glory (the song), Masterplan and countless others. You may not like them or say the songs aren’t difficult to play but to say they’ve not stood the test of time is a terrible argument.

Motown disagrees. Prog Rock disagrees. Disco disagrees. Hip hop will disagree eventually. Oasis havent been gone long enough anyway really but they will not stand the test of time. Its basic music. They were of their time, without doubt, and the best of that time. But thats it really. Overall not brilliant music

I think nearly 30 years and still been played is not bad.
What music that's out now will be played in 30 years

Angels, I Will Survive and Dancing Queen will stand the test of time.

I hope not.

Oasis were of their time and we’re fucking magic for a while, but everyone’s moved on. Music has moved on. Indie is dead.

music might have moved on but todays music is shit !! There isn't a day goes by when I don't listen to oasis or their solo stuff. My son who is 22 always has oasis or the beatles playing in his car …. personally I think its just what the music seen needs, but than again I might be stuck in the 90's..... but each to their own :)
