"Meaning of soul" banner at CoMS?

Re: Re:

Well you certainly won't find 'soul' in an Oasis song, lets be honest. I can't think of a band more devoid of soul. Whether you like them or not, surely you wouldn't argue that their music has any real soul or feeling?

As for the 'identikit life' comment - this is exactly what I'm complaining about! So many people accept low standards in their lives: crap mainstream TV, shocking music, jobs that make them unhappy etc etc. My wish is for people to reject all that and to strive for something better.

And I am as working class as anybody, by the way. I'm also proud of my roots. But that isn't a reason to accept poor quality, is it? Many - possibly most in fact - great artists are working class.

oh look at me im such a special little hipster who hates any popular band ever!!

it just so happens the two main people behind Oasis are massive City fans (well Liam doesnt really seem to know jack shit about the club other than who Tevez is). would you rather have a Take That song banner up there?

personally I wouldnt mind another banner with something Johnny Marr wrote. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out maybe?

Nope, I don't hate 'any popular band ever'. I'm a huge fan of Led Zep, Beatles, Smiths, Stones, Floyd and loads more extremely popular bands. And I'm definitely not a hipster - I don't go for cool NME bands. I just have high standards, which I think everybody should. Look at the quality artists which have City connections: Johnny Marr, Badly Drawn Boy, The Fall, Doves and loads more. But fans have to latch on to Oasis! I'm not trying to tell anyone what to like or that my opinion is more valid than anyone else's (sorry if I gave that impression) but I just wish people would strive for quality in their lives rather than letting the mainstream media decide what is worthwhile.

What a twat.

Nice banner by the way

I find Badly Drawn Boy shite and depressing, never liked the Smiths just think they are over-rated never heard anything done by the Fall, I think the Doves are ok.

I grew up around Oasis, the smiths split up a year before I was born, The Fall were around late 70's, Badly Drawn Boy were beginning of 00's and a prime example of how shite Music has gone since the millenium.

People don't just like Oasis because of the "mainstream media" but because people genuinely like it and grew up around that era when they hit the scenes.

I suppose I like Kasabian and Kings of Leon because of the "mainstream media" or prehaps I've been listening to them since day 1???

Re: Re:

Pardon my ignorance but what does it actually stand for?

EDIT: Just looked it up, and it's a fucking Oasis song. Embarrassing. Blues really really need to get over this very shit band.

Guess I'm going to have to bin my Some Might Say flag now then?

what's happened here is that you've tried to be a smart-arse whilst having a dig at oasis but have let your mask slip. a few people commented on your first post, you looked back at it and realised what an arrogant prat you seem. then you deleted your post so that nobody else could see it. unluckily for you, a couple of posters (myself included) has quoted it already and there's nothing you can do about that.

you talk about people accepting their lot in life and lacking ambition to strive for better. who the fuck are you talking on behalf of? i consider myself an average bloke. i was brought up in salford, have 3 kids and a mortgage and work in a factory that i really cannot stand. i applied to join the police 4 years ago and got through every stage only to be told that there were cutbacks and i wouldn't end up with the job. i don't just accept my job but when you have a family to keep, you often take the safe option.

also, on a saturday night, we have often sat and watched the x-factor. i appreciate it may be well below your standards but trying to find something we can watch as a family is difficult and i actually enjoy having a laugh and a sing-song with my kids.

i also fucking love oasis. i reckon that just about rules me out of any future invitations to your candlelit suppers but quite frankly, you seem a bit of a tit anyway.

Well said

Re: Re:

Sorry for being argumentative and provocative. I was in a mood earlier. But that's no excuse for behaving like an arrogant self-righteous keyboard warrior. So I apologise. I have no right to tell people what they should or shouldn't like.

Yes, I have indeed tried to be a smart arse. However, I haven't deleted any posts mate.

Re:

"the meaning of soul" is a great banner, problem is everytime i look at it from the south stand someone has put there own flag over part of it. whoever it is, fair play for gettin your flag out dude but not at the expence of someones banner. i love the banners round the stadium and am worried they are gonna get covered up by the champions league logo, anyone know if they go up to the 2nd tier?

and oh yeah, Oasis are the bogs dollox mate and top mancs so keep your shit uninformed opinions for the rag forum. Blue Army. Breeze
