On April 4th 1964 The Beatles had the top 5 songs on the Billboard 100.

No other artist has ever had 3 of the top 5.

I like this version where Liam sings the wrong verse and the brothers share a great moment

this is a funny watch for gallagher fans

its basically 10 mins of noel taking the piss out of his old stuff

Oh, I used to love the Monkees, as kids did. For the cast of a TV show they weren't bad at all, and although they had good songwriters working for them, notably Neil Diamond, Alternate Title aka Randy Scouse Git was the work of Micky Dolenz. Micky was a fan of the BBC sitcom Till Death Us Do Part, later reversioned for US TV as All In The Family. Till Death centred on elderly East-End-of-London bigot Alf Garnett, played by Warren Mitchell, who used to address his Liverpudlian son-in-law, played by Tony Booth (who oddly enough later became Tony Blair's father-in-law) as 'you randy Scouse git.' US record labels wouldn't accept that, because it sounded foreign and rude, so 'Alternate Title' it was.

It gets worse. Much worse. We've now sunk to the level of... Ed Sheeran.

Blur>Oasis

Anybody want to share their top ten Oasis memories?

I'll start.
1. Not being able to remember if I have ever heard an Oaisis song or not.
2. Making fun of them in this post
I'll have to think about the rest.

3. One of their members (I think his name is Noel or something) having a Trumpian ego.

This is a true statement for me.

Did Oasis revolutionize/change the music landscape when they came on the scene?

[Oh crap, I've been duped again by a massively well thought out troll. Well played]

1. being at knebworth with 124,999 other fans when i was a wee lad
2. noel solo gig at royal albert hall
3. liam shoving the q award he was just given up his own arse
4. finding a bunch of random demos made in '93 online that i'd never heard before
5. gleneagles live gig. this was before they made it
6. liam's 10 biggest hates (man utd x10)
7. noel quitting the band for good due to a piece of fruit being thrown at him
8. tremendous piano version of live forever found randomly online
9. my ipod ceasing to function correctly and only being able to listen to an acoustic version of talk tonight over and over again on the way home on the bus
10. noel on robbie williams 'the fat dancer from take that'

Sitting in the Old Queen's Head in Islington on a sunny evening in 1995 -- they always had quite a good playlist on the music system in that pub, as well as a gigantic Elizabethan fireplace where they burned huge logs in the wintertime -- and listening to the Mike Flowers Pops loungecore version of Wonderwall, which charted (at No.2) while the original was still charting and not only improved on the original in a weird, Formica-veneer, G-Plan furniture, Martini-ad sort of way, but sent up Oasis' retro-Sixties pretensions something rotten.

11. drunk at the Brit awards (or in general)


back to Beatles

Oasis are not the only Nineties act to retain that level of nostalgia fan-appeal.

That was great! BTW, that is the 1 Oasis song I know.

I was young and doing A-levels when Oasis were big and I still like them but the above cover version does expose how vacuous the lyrics were for a lot of their songs and therefore why the comparisons with the Beatles were always off.

Compare with the same treatment of "Light my fire" - the joke below is the incongruity between what the guy is singing and the way he sings it and his look. With Wonderwall there's no incongruity.

listening to the remixed White Album.

I don't understand why everyone goes nuts about this one. There are some great songs on it, of course, but it's mostly filler like Piggies and Wild Honey Pie.

BUT ITS THE FAB 4

1968 albums better than the White Album:

Astral Weeks
Electric Ladyland
Strictly Personal
Music From Big Pink
Beggars Banquet

When I was growing up, The Band and Bob Dylan were my dad’s music and The Beatles were my mom’s. I absolutely love The Band. I’m sure most of you guys have seen The Last Waltz but any lurkers who haven’t, watch that immediately!

I never understood it either.

The Band was awesome. As was The Last Waltz.

A couple of years ago we took a road less traveled to save a few miles and avoid driving through Memphis. In Marvell, Arkansas, we unexpectedly found ourselves on the Levon Helm Memorial Highway. Nice surprise!
Levon Helm ftw!

+1 to this. IMHO it doesn't compare to what they did before or after and lacks an overall feel as an album - just 3 or 4 competing visions. Haven't listened for a long time though
