the Stone roses.......
best Ireland thread ever.....
When are these matches taking place??
Next Feburary, i believe Liam and Noel are in training as we speak, Johnny Marr was seen in total fitness up the Dublin mountains last week and Mani and Ian Brown are to be seem jogging through phibsboro most tuesdays around 5
and this has what to do with football!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music and football are completely intertwined in society these days :) bit like sex and drugs! If i was English i would wanna be a Manc! Even tho i am an Evertonian and a Shels man!!! Smiths brought me as much true joy and happiness as any of Tony Sheridans moments of flah in the pan genius!!
The Roses. Then the Smiths. Then My Bloody Valentine.
Oasis are just a pub band compared to those three.
Ah yes, the irrepresible cheer that lingers for hours having absorbed the lyrics of Morrissey. :)Quote:

Any one who pens a tune of the quality of Live Forever is no Pub Band my friend, but ya Smiths are superior.....just....!
The Smiths, and no one else.
How sad are some people that they couldnt just ignore the thread? It breaks their heart that its in the wrong section....and i'm talkin bout you neil!
rroses...roses.....................roooooooooooses ......
Oasis aren't fit to lace the boots of the other two.
Why?
Do they've Parkinsons or something?
The Stone Roses, love spreads what a track.

all classics IMO
The Stone Roses then The smiths. There are several Manc bands I would put before oasis, Joy Division, The Buzzcocks, The Happy Mondays & The Fall to name but a few.
Oasis have two decent albums(What's The Story Morning Glory & Definitely Maybe) after that maybe 5 good songs. They don't get a look in with any of the above mentioned bands
I think they have had 2 classic albums , one very good album one decent album and two okish albums But then again i've bought them all which i am guessing you arent basing your opinion on.Quote:

1. Girlfriend in Acoma
2. There is a light that never goes out
3. Panic
4. Frankly Mr. Shankley
5. Shoplifters of the World
But as GREAT as those songs are, Mozza's solo effort "Everyday is like Sunday" take the An Ceannaire award for greatest song of all time
Is both Emotional and Humourous, Sarcastic and serious, a true work of pure Manc genius from the boy with a thorn in his side
So they're a good pub band.Quote:

Oasis are a very good covers band.
Cigarettes and Alcohol - Bang a gong - T Rex
Shakermaker - I'd like to teach the world to sing - The New Seekers
Morning Glory - This one goes out to the one I love - REM
Dont Look Back in Anger - Very like John Lennon/Beatles
The Masterplan - Bodyform add/never forget - Take That :eek:
I wouldn't call any of the others classics by any means. Supersonic and Live Forever perhaps.
Yes. If it has Oasis written on the front (joke).Quote:

And of course Slaughter And The Dogs.Quote:

BohsPartisan, in Oasis's defence, blatant ripping off of other material does not make you a bad band. Just ask Mr. Ryder & Co.
Some of the songs you listed there are amongst their best.
Wow. A top five with 'Frankly...' in it.Quote:

I think it's a great little ditty that fits in well in the context of the album, but far from my top five.
It's ok, you make up for it with your ""Everyday is like Sunday" greatest song of all time" claim.
Cemetry Gates is one of my fav Smiths songs along with there is a light.
A Smiths top 5 is damn near impossible
every time u think u have the definitive top 5 u think, oh hang on, what about.....i dunno....Some girls are bigger, or How Soon is now or even Shiela take a bow
as for greatest lyric of all time
"why pamper lifes complexity, when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat"
but it has to be sung properly! Dont murder it, make love to it!!!!
Inspiral Carpets anyone?
Some great tunes there in my opinion
Forgot about Primal Scream and agree also the New Order & Ian Borwn's solo work would also be high above oasis. Havn't heard a lot of Black Grape stuff TBHQuote:

decent live for anyone that seen their Finsbury Park gig a few years back in the pouring rain
I was afraid to mention them in the context of Manchester in case Macy would jump in and tell us they're actually from Oldham or something. Great band. I should really get some more of their stuff. Life is still a great album. Other than that I only have a few singles/ep's and the singles comp.Quote:

Correct, Moz is the most humourous lyricist ever. All the talk of him and The Smiths being depressing is rubbish, maybe its only the fans that see the humour but hey. I am.Quote:
