_Bagel Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I know how universally loved Oasis are around here. This song makes me want to headbutt a stain-glass window, in a good way 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get why they might induce eye-rolls with some of our American folk. I'm not really a patriotic person by any means, but when I listen to Oasis/The Jam/ Billy Bragg I feel fucking British. Like I see dirty old pubs, council estates, parkas, Industrial estates, football idk - some of those things don't have the same standing/presence in America. I'm glad you love them Elisa! Oh yeah, @Speedo they deffo love ripping off The Beatles/Lennon. The fucking hair, the coloured rim glasses! Anyway, Liam Gallagher is the 'most punk rock dude ever' - fact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to that while walking down the street and you feel a fucking million bucks and the coolest cunt on the planet. The band are the epitome of cool. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jam are another amazing band people are fucking sleeping on. I get it though. Them and Oasis are basically Britain in musical form so I can see why Americans just don’t get it. And yes Liam Gallagher is a punk icon 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate - the fucking helicopter sound at the beginning, guitar properly kicks in , could slide tackle someone. Would normally be our last song at pre's at uni, all go out waddling like a bunch of deluded Liam's thinking we'd pull. That whole Maine Road gig is carnage. Yeah - The Jam are one of the most tight three-pieces to ever do it. Weller basically has the power condense British life into 2 and a half minutes, it's fucking mad. Like you say, I see why it wouldn't translate the same way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Don't forget about The Stone Roses! Edit: I've always been a britpop junkie. Oasis, Blur, Stone Roses, Pulp, Charlatans, Suede. Really anything from Britain in the 90s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
