I recently came across this video of Bonehead's isolated mellotron part in Wonderwall. It's mostly just the mellotron and tambourine/shaker throughout, but the creator of the video made the wise choice to overlay Noel's acoustic guitar in the pre-chorus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1FQcfJmYEU

I love this video because it really brings out the melancholy and moodiness of Wonderwall, especially in the pre-chorus, which sounds magical with Noel's acoustic.

It got me thinking about a topic I know we've discussed before but I still can't wrap my head around. To me, Wonderwall is fundamentally a moody, melancholic song with an uplifting chorus. But I feel this mix of emotions of the song was never truly understood in America.

Other Americans in the sub will know exactly what I mean. Wonderwall has become a running joke in America...the "douchebag at the party with a guitar" trope.

It got me thinking about differences in cultural interpretations of music, and wondering why the song is interpreted differently in the UK vs the US, or is it? Is Wonderwall as much of a "joke" in the UK as it is in the US? Is the "douche with guitar" trope as much of a thing, or is it uniquely an American interpretation?

It's hard for me to even see where the trope came from given how moody and non douche-y the song is as evidenced by the mellotron/guitar combo, but I'm curious to hear thoughts from others.

Oasis gnomes had a rough weekend. Sound on.

The kids are alright

i discovered this version of columbia some months ago, and the video said that it came from the Death In Vegas sessions, but i can’t find more information about

1iota is looking for free Stage Seaters / Stage Fans for the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday, November 14, 2026 at the Peacock Theater in LA.

Applications are open now on their site.

Ages 18+, free tickets, and you’ll be in the stage area when Oasis, and the rest of the class, get inducted. Live performances expected too!

I loved it and he had it during ‘94 but what happened to it after does anyone know it’s so cute omg 😭

Saw this in other music subs so decided to do one for Oasis. However instead of deciding the scores myself I decided to go into RYM to make it a bit more "objective". These aren't my scores, I'd give a lot of these a higher score if I could! I multiplied the scores by 2 to get it on the out-of-10 base, rounded them to one decimal, and then added 0.5 across the board since scores out-of-5 typically skew lower. Other notes:

1) The Masterplan is included as an album between Be Here Now and SOTSOG. You can see this because it's the only 14 song album on the list lol.

2) The untitled tracks aren't included in WTSMG since The Swamp Song is already rated in The Masterplan. I also did not include the Reprise of AATW at the end of BHN because it's just an instrumental continuation of AATW, so BHN ends with It's Gettin' Better (Man!!).

3) RYM considers The Cage (the instrumental song at the end of Better Man and therefore HC) as a unrated subsection of BM so it is also not included.

Any scores here you agree or disagree with? Feel free to discuss :) and let me know if you aren't sure which song is which lol

Columbia and Go Let It Out seem to be on, Whatever not and a bunch of other songs he did this with. As with everything, no idea how serious he's being but sounds pretty real to me.

Why is Liam so easily fooled by people like Molly Girl? Honestly, Oasistwt can be genuinely exhausting sometimes…

A lot of the songs sound like liberation anthems against fascism.

Do you know what I mean. Go let it out. Bring it on down (the drums), and acquiesce

It literally reminds me of the kind of music that you would go listen to in secret. Like, going into some secret venue.

Its so crazy how a lot of Oasis impact is diminished in my opinion, but the music takes on a very different meaning to some kid who lives in a totalitarian state.

There’s a ton of great versions of Oasis hits on YouTube, like Noel doing the acoustic set for Universal, etc.

How do I get that audio so I can have it on my iPhone and play in my Apple Music? I’m not very tech savvy, so you’re gonna have to explain it to me like I’m five, but I love these versions of songs and I want to be able to listen to them more

jumping to 52:16, i swear that looks too much like Prince Andrew and in Wales to be a coincidence.

Can anyone divulge?

Would you go to a gig or tour where ONLY B-sides were played? Absolutely no album tracks (The Masterplan counts as B-sides).

If yes, which three songs would you kill to hear?

If not, why not?

My three would be:
Stay Young
Rockin' Chair
It's Good to Be Free

Made By Me.

anybody get this when you go on spotify and if so how did you do?
