Oasis

[Colin Zeal EFM]

What is your favourite Noel-sung Oasis song??

 

I'm listening to "Flashbax" now from the "All Around The World" single and it rocks. Mind you, everything rocks after a few lunchtime pints.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

If Liams pissed or pissed off, Noel sings them all doesn't he?

[Chubbhead EFM]

My fave has got to be The Masterplan OR Half the World Away.

[R Zimmerman]

too many too choose but The Masterplan, Don't Look Back In Anger and Sunday Morning Call come to mind first.

Anyone heard his version of Merry Xmas Everybody on the NME 1 Love Album that was released on Monday?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yeah. It's okay, but I was rather hoping for a Liam-sung rip-roaring version like they did with "My Generation".

 

I liked Feeder's version of "The Power Of Love".

[R Zimmerman]

I thought Muse's 'House Of The Rising Sun was the best song on the album.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Wasn't too keen.

 

Starsailor and Manics did very good impressions of The Small Faces and Chris Farlowe respectively, but didn't really add anything to the originals.

 

It's like all these tribute albums really - there's no real point. Wasn't there a thread about "cover versions" a couple of weeks back??

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

It looks nowhere as good as the Ruby Trax album they releases in 1992, 40 bands of that time covering number 1's.

 

I refuse to buy anything with Starsailor on it!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I've been trying to get hold of Ruby Trax. Do you have a copy, Thornsy??

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

It's your lucky day - I think I have 2!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

WOW!! What format??

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

CD.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Wicked!!

 

That reminds me actually - I'll return your so-called "Rave" CD to you tomorrow.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Yeah, not quite the rave's I remember either!

[Guest]

all or nothing is a beautiful song but i don't like starsailor. i don't really like oasis but do you know what i mean was heaven on vinyl.

[SteveP]

Heard the 'One Love Album' There just wasn't enough on it to make me buy it, Muse, Manics and Starsailor all pretty good.

 

But the problem with cover versions are they really get close to the original.

 

So I got One by One by the Foos, Comfort in Sound by Feeder and Thriller by Micheal Jackson ( I saw it and love the song Billie Jean, even if the rest of the album is poor, which I don't think it will be, I really wanted that track).

 

Oh and did I mention we beat the shots 2-1??

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Excellent result - cheers for that.

 

"Thriller" is one of those albums I've been meaning to get for yonks, but there always seems to be something else more pressing to buy, if you know what I mean. It is a quality album though, from what I remember of it.

 

What was the penalty incident against the Shots all about then??

[SteveP]

Very funny, Delroy, a bit of a stirrer, delayed the penalty by passing an object back to the bench which had been thrown at him from the crowd, then took a few gulps of water, all whilst Paul Buckle was standing at the spot, Buckle shot wide, Preddie did just enough to put him off. He's a great keeper, a bit tempremental but it was a canny bit of gamesmanship.

 

I was going to mention Mr Zeal that there was a huge article in Uncut about John Lennon and there's a free CD where other artists cover John.. Not great on what I've heard so far, but def worth a read.

 

He was also voted one of the 10 greatest Britons of all time, I still though Churchill probably deserved it the most of the whole bunch...

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I bought the Uncut actually, but still haven't found the time to have a proper look at it yet. Cheers for that.

Carter USM (sorry to harp on about them again) were excellant on covers, Rent - Pet shop boys, Panic - smiths, This is how it feels - Inspiral carpets, Trouble - Shampoo, down in the tube.... - Jam and tons more!

 

According to the record buying public Gareth and Will seem quite good at covers at the moment. TWATS!
