Oasis mean the world to me and I'll tell anyone who'll listen. What they did will probably never be repeated again, yes it wasn't a band made up of the worlds most talented musician's and songwriters (and Noel is the first to admit that). Right place, right time and it just blew up, simple as that. I love every record they put out and will always cherish them.

At this point though, I really don't see them reforming. Both are doing well on their own, Noel in particular seems in a really good place. He's happy and seems buzzing to be working with David Holmes. Liam would do it tomorrow but it's got personal and think the idea of 'they're just playing upto the media and really get on' has long since passed.

I'm sure they've bad obscene amounts thrown at them to reform already. I really don't see it happening at this point

Shhhh, loving one of the greatest bands of all time isn't cool on here. 

I bet you throw piss.

Can I interest you in The National?

Never been into Oasis in the slightest and now I can't help but associate them with being the band that get put on at the end of house parties by a group of stompy, shouty last lads standing who try over aggressively to get you to join in the fun.

Hahaha actually burst out laughing at that in work, particularly the last line

It’s definitely not gonna happen while L’s solo stuff is still packing out obscenely-large venues but I still think it’s highly likely to when interest in him drops off like it has done in Noel solo. Give it another five years and nobody of gig-going age will have been old enough to see Oasis live at their commercial peak, they’d probably be able to do a whole week of shows at Wembley in those circumstances.

Can we get a definitive age range for this, please?  I must have misplaced my copy of The Handbook.

At least it's defined as not old enough, as opposed to too old, otherwise I'd have to be cancelling all those gigs I've tickets for...

You do not have to be a fan of Oasis to acknowledge their cultural impact at the height of their fame. They really caught a moment and genuinely had that rock and roll swagger and excitement about them.

First couple of albums are undeniable classics that people will still be singing along to in 10 years time. Like others I can do without the laddishness and boorish behaviour that is sometimes associated with them but their early tunes are magnificent.

There's space in all good record collections for both

Maybe I should have said ‘nobody under 45’ instead soz but you know what I mean.

Oasis were a phenomenon for a couple of years;  the Supersonic film will tell you all you need to know.  It was rapidly diminishing returns thereafter, but so it goes for lots of acts.  They did retain their popularity though and were selling out huge gigs until the end, which I'm sure they'd do again if they reformed.

I saw them a couple of times, Manchester Academy in '94 and then the arena in '95 (with support from Chemical Brothers).  Never felt the need to bother with them much after that.

Tis true, if it wasn't for Nirvana Sleep Well Beast and Definitely Maybe would be next to each other in my vinyl collection.

I loved Supersonic, would love to see a sequel that focuses on the post-Knebworth years.

The Time Flies dvd has commentary from Noel and Liam on all the videos, think you can find them on YouTube. Noel slagging off Sunday Morning Call is pretty funny.

Surely the best opening songs on debut albums?????

Not when Crazy In Love by Beyoncé exists.

people were rapping before biggie and tupac, but they are the ones who are considered the best at what they did.

 

I'm not even their biggest fan but Oasis were very very good at writing a 'simple' big chorus, it inspired so many to try it theirself - especially when they played the 'we're the lads from a council estate' card. People genuinely believed they could do it. 

Which is all the more mystifying as Burnage is quite posh in comparison to north Manchester.

eFestivals, the place where Stormzy is the best Glastonbury headliner in the last 10 years due to his massive influence in contemporary culture and Oasis is just a regular band with a couple recognizable songs.

eFestivals is the greatest website in the history of the entire internet but has a couple blind spots!

Oasis have a profound impact on contemporary culture, it’s just been a wholly negative one.

Oasis fanboys getting upset that not everybody in world worships them. Is it that people have different tastes? No, people are trying to be cool.

Fantastic.

My favourite bands are Oasis, The National, Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead. I must be half efestivals nerd, half regular human.

Not in the slightest. Your statement works both ways entirely.

[Hugh Jass]

Oasis? Just a band...

Radiohead?  Just a band...

Bloc Party? Just a band...

Arctic Monkeys? Just a band...

(Bloc Party really haven't dated well in that song, have they?)
