How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova

Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange

Repetitive whiney arse-gravy from two gobshittes. Nothing to get it past 1. Surprised it even gets a play here.
This is right in so many ways. Soundtrack of our lives.
You know you played this at full volume while driving along in your car, singing your heart out.
Yes you did.

You had to be there.
The "next coming of the Beatles" thing was idiotic and I'm not huge fan of them but this song is strong for me.
this was a guilty pleasure for me back in the day, now its just a pleasure
Yes the gossip was bad and the music was overplayed back in the day, but I still love this album.
you keep playing this bitchin music and I'll never leave work...

Had tickets to the Atlanta show the day they broke up. At the time they were among my favorite newer bands, so I was (and still am) ticked that I didn't get to see them. I have, however, enjoyed a lot of the music that came from the split. Oh, and if I based my music opinion on the artist's personality, I would not have much to choose from.

I'm the right age (old millennial) that this puts me right back in high school, and therefore get warm fuzzies remembering this song. I'm still not sure if this is a 'good' track but it does hit me in the nostalgia centers...

There is a certain segment of the RP audience that hates any music that was commercially successful. Or maybe it's anger because they come here to hear what they can't hear on the radio. But I suspect it's just common snobbery to look down on music that is/was easily accessible.
Funny true story of how an Oasis cover band was snowed in for 3 days at a hotel gig.

MTV was hardly a force in 1995. It had long since become a reality show network. Your reference is terribly dated. Like your opinion.
You also seem blithely unaware that they were playing off of John Lennon comparing the Beatles to Jesus when they made that quote. A controversy from an earlier rock era that helped the Beatles grow their fan base in the same way that it helped Oasis at the time. Duh.
The Kinks famously feuded to the point of fisticuffs; the Stones came damn close on a few occasions (Charlie slugged Mick once); the Fogertys hated each other so much they broke up the band. Disagreements in rock bands are part of the process. Chuckles all around.
Also, they may be unpleasant characters to you and others (judging from this board) but, they are talented musicians whose careers are now in their 3rd decade. Both have recent albums out with their current bands. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds album from last year was one of the best rock albums of the year.

Your comment about MTV being irrelevant to music by 1995 was spot on.
But best was your use of the term "schadenfruede" Ha Ha! I'm sure most read right over that with nary a clue as to what it means.

I'm an ex-pat Mancunian and I dislike Oasis as much as the next guy but, praise given where praise is due , this is an exceptionally good song. There was also a good video to accompany it.
I also have to admit Noel Gallagher came up with on of the funniest quotes I've ever heard when he described his brother thus..." he's a very angry man, he's like a man with a fork in a world of soup".

Were (and probably still are ) these guys jerks? Yep! No argument. But their songs are quite poorly rated here, more so than anywhere else. Okay. But it appears from the comments about them that the ratings have more to do with how people perceive them rather than being based upon their songs. Fair enough.
However, then why do some of the rockers-from-past, who were documented pedophiles of the 'groupies of the times,' getting a free pass on how their songs might be rated? Bowie, Page, and _______ (there's plenty, fill it in).

I'm not at all convinced John Lennon's statement expanded their fan base. That's an unsubstantiated opinion. John appeared to sincerely regret it. It made their lives hell for a while. It was, I believe, a poorly thought out off-the-cuff remark. They sincerely seemed to regret the extent of their fame, and were not trying to gain more. It was even more stupid for these guys to compare themselves to John, which you seem to believe was calculated. There is plenty of evidence to indicate they fall way short.
Lennon didn't do anything without thinking it out. It may have been poorly thought out, but not off-the-cuff. The Beatles at the time were searching for ways to dirty up their squeaky clean image. This certainly worked even if it snowballed out of proportion to their intent.
Lennon certainly did seem to have a strong opinion on the subject. One that would lead me to believe that he thought a lot about it, given the full context of the quote:
"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I'll be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first – rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
This original comment was not considered controversial by the English press at the time. It was only when the comments made it to crazy christian America that they blew up into an overreaction that I'm sure surprised Lenon in it's intensity. That said, losing the fandom of folks that would throw your records into a bonfire seems like a small loss.

As much as I hate the Gallagher brothers huge egos and their all too public petty disputes, I have to admit they made some great music.
They are horrible megalomaniacs. They seem to think they are the new Beatles which they are not in any way in any shape, form or fashion.

I hated them when they were popular. Now looking back, what a great band. And the Gallaghers' melodrama just adds to the story.

Maybe they spent too much time getting high... Just sayin...
Somebody should have kicked the Gallagher's sh*t in a long time ago. Think of how hilariously they would have sounded waffling and braying through false teeth.
Never liked this band. Gallagher sounds like he's trying to channel John Lennon.
rate 8 
I really don’t understand how Oasis ever became as popular as they did. No single track makes sense - they’re just words put together because they rhyme. How can you walk ‘slowly down the hall’ but are still ‘faster than a cannonball’? What’s a ‘champagne supernova’ and if it’s in the sky then how are you ‘under a landslide’. So cross.

I think they admitted the second album included songs that weren't good enough for the first, and the third had songs that weren't good enough for either of the first two - so the downhill bit kind of makes sense. And it took Liam working with other songwriters to have the success he's enjoyed in the last couple of years.
That said, I did love these first two albums. Soundtrack of a lot of people's lives in the mid-90s.
One good album then all downhill after that. No idea how they've stayed so popular for so long.
I think they admitted the second album included songs that weren't good enough for the first, and the third had songs that weren't good enough for either of the first two - so the downhill bit kind of makes sense.

MTV was hardly a force in 1995. It had long since become a reality show network. Your reference is terribly dated. Like your opinion.
You also seem blithely unaware that they were playing off of John Lennon comparing the Beatles to Jesus when they made that quote. A controversy from an earlier rock era that helped the Beatles grow their fan base in the same way that it helped Oasis at the time. Duh.
The Kinks famously feuded to the point of fisticuffs; the Stones came damn close on a few occasions (Charlie slugged Mick once); the Fogertys hated each other so much they broke up the band. Disagreements in rock bands are part of the process. Chuckles all around.
Also, they may be unpleasant characters to you and others (judging from this board) but, they are talented musicians whose careers are now in their 3rd decade. Both have recent albums out with their current bands. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds album from last year was one of the best rock albums of the year.
You might try listening to it.
Thanks to the "MTV effect", These two asshats were catapulted to fame far beyond their merits or ability to handle said fame.
I remember having a chuckle whilst reading a quote from one of the brothers foreseeing their future legacy surpassing that of the The Beatles.
Had further chuckles reading about the brothers' frequent drunken disagreements devolving into fisticuffs.

It's funny you say that. I hated this band in the 90's. Now i think they were pretty damn good. Who knows.
Dear Bob,
I do believe the comments about this song (band) are the most contentious of any I've found on your wonderful station. And rightly so.

So derivative it drains the word derivative of its derivativeness.

Hard to believe they were compared with the Beatles or slated to be the next Beatles when they arrived. So bad.

It's quite a long song, isn't it.
One step below Vanilla Ice for originality
If you could write an algorithm that compared being an arsehole(s) to genius I suspect there is a pretty tight correlation.

What a boring song!
This song makes me love the RP fast forward feature.

Like this song... but even like that last comment even more, hilarious!
Well I think it's a great tune from a great part of the music world, but it wouldn't do for us all to be the same, would it?
I used to karaoke this... but I didn't sing champagne supernover

Terribly over-rated song and band!
Imma have to drop this down a notch. Something about the song, although it's probably more the Oasis bros themselves, just makes me wanna slap something.

Wank-a-sonic.
As much as I hate the Gallagher brothers huge egos and their all too public petty disputes, I have to admit they made some great music.
They are horrible megalomaniacs. They seem to think they are the new Beatles which they are not in any way in any shape, form or fashion.

I've compiled a "Best Oasis Comments" list for your reading pleasure:
-whiny snot nosed punkish poseurs.
-Toffee nosed wankers.
-the suckarama music selector must have kicked it.
-Cacophonous wretchedness.
-its a waste of electrons.
-utterly annoying.
-like a dental drill.... ucch...
-This tune is the best definition of ... SUCKO-BARFO.
-that whiney little putz is singing thru his nose again.

Only good thing to come from this band of brothers was Wonderwall, and thank the lord Ryan Adams made the song GREAT
The cover looks like a meme. Could it be the first?
Awesome and great in concert. Still awesome summer evening music, driving to the beach side bars listening to this.

Don’t think so! Loutish wankers perhaps but certainly not toffee nosed. I dismissed Oasis at the time because of their antics but with age I’ve now come to realise that much of their music was really rather good.
People may be tired of hearing it, I guess. What, a couple of times a year? That's how often I hear it. How could it possibly be rated so low? LOL

Wankers - yes. Toffee nosed - well the usual meaning of that is snobbish, upperclass etc which they are clearly not. A variation of the meaning is to be 'disdainful' of those perceived as belonging to a lower class or lower talent than themselves - then maybe yes to that too.

I think the "some Brits" you refer to are probably mainly English. It's a habit that gets up the noses of us Scots as well (at least a lot of the ones where I grew up). But you get over it, same way as I'm sure most of the English get over the way we speak.
Don't y'all just love RP - where somebody from the land that gave us George W Bush (and what he did for the English language) has a go (justifiably) at the way the English speak English.
Why do some Brits add an r on the end of words that end in a? So annoying. PSD>>
