Somewhere between a rock and a hard place.


Sod the video, not too interested in that but more the lyrics. I can't make out what's said after the first Green Day chorus and it's starting to bug me. Kicks in about 1:25. Who sings that bit and what are the lyrics? Thanks for any constructive help.
 
Oasis

But I think I've answered a different question to the one you were asking!
It sounds a bit like 'Every morning I wake up...' something something something but I can't get it! It's not Oasis or Green Day which means it's someone else (hats off to Captain Obvious here)

Would Green Day's music convert as seamlessly into orchesteral form?
Would it bollocks, Oasis all the way for me
 
What a monumentally depressing thread.

Green Day have always been terrible. Palatable American "punk" for people who can`t handle the real stuff.

Aerosmith were decent around the Rocks period. Their modern stuff post Walk This Way is just commercial rock music - ie shite. They should just have given it up as soon as Appetite for Destruction was released.

Blur and Oasis both released a couple of good albums back in the day. Not bad, but hardly Radiohead.

Nail on head.

You're moaning about depression yet in the same paragraph you espouse the musical virtues of Radiohead?!
 
Just recognise the hypocrisy of your words :)

There was no hypocrisy whatsover. My depression was in a topic about four bands who were passed it like ten years ago. On another thread we have Metallica being raked over the coals. There is a lot of good music being made by fresh important bands at the moment and yet music discussions on here seem firmly rooted in the past.

Oasis are making good new music too. Still better than many of these 'fresh important bands' you talk of, in my opinion

And there it is. The bands in question undoubtedly being bands you`ve never heard. You`re like the "film goer" who insists that Shawshank Redemption is the best film ever despite only having seen like 200 movies.

How do you know what bands I have and haven't listened too?

You're like the guy who thinks he knows everything
 
No. I just know a hell of a lot more about music than someone still clinging to Oasis.

Surprise me and tell me you didn`t go and see the Foo Fighters this year. Or better yet list your favourite albums.

Travis driftwood surely.

PS hope i understood the question.

Again, how do you know that you're more knowledgable about music than me? I could be Bob Dylan for all you know

Based off the evidence from this thread, I cling to Oasis just as much as you cling to Radiohead. Neither is condemning evidence that the other doesn't listen to modern music. Do people who still love Elvis and the Beatles know even less than us?

p.s I don't care for the Foo Fighters. My favourite album of all time was Oasis, does that make me untrendy, uncool and unknowledgable then? Ah well

Like I said, Oasis did make a couple of decent albums back in the early 90s. But that`s a long time ago and their more recent output has been very patchy. Radiohead will never scale the heights of OK Computer again but 2007`s In Rainbows is up there with their best work.

I do find it difficult to believe that anyone who has an Oasis album as their favourite can have a really wide knowledge or understanding of music. Why? Simply because they`d have found lots of better albums years ago if they did.

Well I tell you what. Why don't you show off some of your 'superior knowledge' by identifying some 'fresh important bands' to me, and I'll decide whether I prefer their music or that of Oasis. You've talked a good game up to now, lets see some hard proof of your claims

:lol:

You utter cretin

I hate it when people go on about how they "know" about music. Something which is based completely on a person's personal taste.

I fecking hate people like you. Just because Brad prefers Oasis over you beloved Radiohead it doesn't mean he doesn't have a wide knowledge of music. I've listened to OK Computer and it is one of the most depressing albums you could ever listen to, give me an Oasis album anyday. (Of course, that is just my opinion on it)

You say a couple of their early albums were 'good'. That is bollocks, Definitely Maybe and What's The Story stand alone as two of the greatest albums of all time. Be Here Now is criminally underrated. Granted Heathen Chemistry, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and Don't Believe The Truth weren't the greatest albums of all time but they were still very good and are still better than a lot of the shit that gets hailed as 'great' these days.

Fine, you prefer Radiohead and are not a huge fan of Oasis. I don't have a problem with that. Just don't criticise people who do like Oasis by accusing them of having a shit knowledge of music.
 
Yeah I know taste is a totally subjective thing, I mean Noodles could be a fan of 7Club7 for all we know and may regard them as a quality music band. But I'm sure most people will think he's weird and that 7Club7 are shit.

I don't like Oasis. Average band for me.
