D'You Know What I Mean? is still a fantastic opener. And Stand By Me is easily one of Oasis' best.

Yep plus I would actually put "It's getting better man" and "Fade In/Out" up with their very best.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is vastly underrated, and my personal favourite Oasis album.

Oooh no. That album is ungodly. With a couple of exceptions, "Fuckingin the bushes" "Who feels love?" & "Sunday Morning Call" the rest is dross and I say that as a huuuuuge Oasis fan.

I can gladly live the rest of my life without ever admitting that Little James, I can see a liar (Those songs battle each other for the most inane lyrics ever commited to cd) or the truly dreadful Gas Panic even exist.

Still, the version of Where did it all go wrong that Noel performed on Jools Holland was exceptional and shows the potential of that song.

Plus easily the best album cover.

I just love the whole Psychedelic Rock vibe of the album. Fuckin' in the Bushes is pure Zeppelin

.

Don't Believe the Truth is rubbish, aside from Lyla, The Importance of Being Idle and The Meaning of Soul. What a boring record.

Do explain.

The fact is The Beatles have many great songs and some bad ones. Who cares which album which and which are on?

Unless you're a true pioneer like Bowie, Green Day or Springsteen and are actually using the album format to tell a story with connected songs albums do not matter.

Paul, I've we tend to like a lot of the same stuff so I went back to SOTSOG and had another listen. You were right actually, nowwhere nears as bad as I remember. I used to hate the production on the album but for some reason it doesn't bother me as much.

Where Did it all go wrong is actually a bit of a lost classic. Roll it Over is a really strong closer with a brilliant solo, even Gas Panic is tolerable.

Little James is still utter shite though. Although I think everyone would agree on that one.

All in all 3.5/5

I think Gas Panic is the best one on that album, they done a great version on Jools Holland. And I think The Girl in the Dirty Shirt is the best one on Be Here Now.

Pretty much everything Oasis did after Definitely Maybe is dross.

Mind you, the Beady Eye album makes Be Here Now sound like fucking Dark Side of the Moon. I haven't heard Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds yet.

I've never liked Lilac Wine. And Hallelujah is nowhere near the best on the album. Last Goodbye is beautiful. Along with Mojo Pin and Grace, those three songs really opened my eyes to music.

Yeah I do. I have a copy of a solo gig he did in Canada singing Oasis songs. It's pretty great, his voice sounds amazing on Slide Away, that should have been his. My favourite Oasis songs are always the ones sung by Noel.
