What this Oasis "Greatest Hits" CD proves, is how downhill they've gone since the initial dizzy heights of "Definitely Maybe". Where as in the early days, Noel Gallgher ripped off The Beatles, ELO, and Bowie with a bit of joi de vive, the drink, drugs, and the eventual inability to think remotely coherently, results in some real rubbish making up quite a bit of this CD. By the late '90s, Gallagher had run out of Beatles riffs to replicate. Unfortunately, this was around the same time as Liam lost the plot, and his once half decent lead vocals, degenerated into cocaine fuelled ramblings. This finally peaked at the BRITS "Life time achievement award". Liams vocals were that slurred, that at one stage I thought Shane McGowan had taken over as the lead singer. The only reason you knew that he'd sworn, was when it was bleeped out - a pointless exercise, because you couldn't tell a word he was saying in any case by this stage (and neither could he!). If your bag is an out of tune sing a long after 10 pints of lager and a couple of lines, then this should do you.Read full review
I would like to start off with the reason for me purchasing this particular album. As a guitarist I am forever looking for inspirational bands from which to derive new tunes from. So I decided to purchase this album as I had heard a few of Oasis' songs and found them excellent. To put it bluntly this album is brilliant, inspirational and very listenable. I advise all guitar players that like soft rock/indie music to buy this as Oasis are definitely in my personal top 3 most inspirational bands. This 2 disc album contains such Oasis classics as: Wonderwall, Stop Crying Your Heart Out and Talk Tonight. It also includes songs by Oasis that are different from their original style but are still very good, such as Lyla, The Importance Of Being Idle and Rock 'n' Roll Star. The only thing i did not like about this product was that the case was not very durable and broke easily. Overall this was an excellent buy, at an incredible price, i advise everyone to buy it!Read full review
Excellent cd, all of oasis' biggest hits and others all on one album, i am sure my fiance will approve of it, as its a pressie for him, because he is a really big fan and he didn't get round to buying this one, i also like some songs on there too, so overall its a great allrounder!
