I still remember the battle for Britpop supremacy in the mid-1990's between Oasis with the Gallagher brothers and Blur with Damon Albarn. I had always preferred Albarn's songwriting, while Liam Gallagher has the more interesting voice. Edited January 23, 2023 by DrW 1 Quote
DrW Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Back to Oasis, they were once sued for plagiarizing Neil Innes' song "How Sweet To Be An Idiot" in their song "Whatever". And indeed,there are astonishing similarities, especially in the beginning. For those of you unfamiliar with Innes, he was a member of the "Bonzo Dog Doodah Band" and provided music for several Monty Python projects. Here is the Oasis song... ...and here is Neil's original tune... 1 1 Quote

If you see @Goldtooth that would be him. . His bands have influenced me in such a profound way.. I'll ask him to DJ his most influential bands Did you ever listen to The Casualities?

muppy Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) this is me ..afterglow of the 70' and 80's I was listening to FM classic rock stations. This is one song I remember very fondly. A bit of verbal intro and the song plays. ... Interesting what Don Henley had to say about it don henley desperado howard stern Edited August 5 by muppy 1 Quote

Ironically Innes was nearly sued over the song back up the thread "Get Up And Go" being too similar to "Get Back," to the point it was left off the "All You Need Is Cash" album. So does that make Oasis a 2nd generation tape dub of the Fabs? RIP in peace, Ron Nasty Edited January 25, 2023 by Ralonzo 2 Quote

Interesting video - they seem to be somewhat older than their audience. I am not overly familiar with punk bands, but many of them are pretty short-lived. Even John Lydon slowed a bit down when he started Public Image Ltd. My favorite punk band - The Slits. Originally they were an all-girl band. In this clip the singer, Ari Up, was just 15. A few years later, they had replaced Palmolive on drums by a male drummer, and they had a slightly less aggressive sound, while making the lyrics more interesting. In the next clip, if videos of a park and middle-aged men bore you, the music starts at about 1:20. The Slits also incorporated reggae into their sound. Here they present a pretty competent cover of John Holts's "Man Next Door". 1 Quote

I just think the lyric is ...whats the word...wordsmithy....and tongue in cheek. It' a rare world. I like VIP areas Heck yeah I do lol .. Yeah being a rock star is not as GLAM as some might think. . Touring is a lot of travel wear and tear. *NSFW intro wordsmith wasn't on the top of my list. but there's merit there. I think. Quote
