I admit being late to REM. They didn't do much for me, despite the hits. It was years later that, listening a little more carefully, I decided they were actually very interesting. The way the instruments played off each other was much more involved than I thought.
Also, I got fooled by the Nickelback flogging. When I finally ignore that & listened, I found those were some really good songs, executed superbly.
Oasis was that way for me, but I recognized them well before now. But, they were already nearing their end when I realized they were good.

Oasis ??? [View all] SleeplessinSoCal Friday OP

I dunno. Other than they'd beat each other up on stage. marble falls Friday #1

You should pay more attention to the music. Search for the threads I've posted here. highplainsdem Friday #4

I have. Oasis just never did anything for me. No doubt about it: they have a very large and enthusiastic fan base ... marble falls Friday #9

Not a tin ear. We all have different taste. But I didn't give them much attention at all in the '90s, between highplainsdem Friday #14

If I were to give one reason why they don't reach me, it's that they sound too pop-ish for my tastes. ... marble falls Friday #16

There is no way to figure out exactly what will appeal to someone. Even just deciding what an artist's highplainsdem Friday #19

Like I said, I love the beatles, go figure. marble falls Yesterday #28

They're more rock and more punk than the Beatles. Noel said they were a punk band with Beatles melodies. highplainsdem Yesterday #20

Thanks for the videos. SleeplessinSoCal Yesterday #26

Wonderwall is good, but it isn't in my ten favorite Oasis songs, and might not even be in my top 20, if I highplainsdem 22 hrs ago #30

Eh, I wouldnt call them good Guitar Rock but we all like different things. Eko Friday #13

It would be boring if we didn't all like different things. But this Oasis tour has brought nearly unanimous highplainsdem Friday #15

Sorry I'm just not into Brit-Pop. Eko Friday #18

I have been wondering this too.. A 1990s band that I guess has reemerged to the hlthe2b Friday #2

They do NOT use AI vocals. Do you think I'd post about them if they did? Has anyone on DU posted more against highplainsdem Friday #5

Just allowed a band to use AI to copy their vocals and approved of it. Back off. Your own article hlthe2b Friday #6

Liam didn't "approve of the album." After hearing one or part of one track, he told someone on Twitter highplainsdem Friday #8

I'm glad you are enjoying this band's reemergence. I am equivocal but appreciate your hlthe2b Friday #10

Although the band didn't reunite until last year, after breaking up in 2009, both Noel and Liam have had highplainsdem Friday #11

Good... hlthe2b Friday #12

Thanks! I have to fight AI. It's a threat to too much that I value, too many people that I value. highplainsdem Yesterday #23

Where have you been? Their tour's been getting rave reviews for months, and for good reason. I host this forum, highplainsdem Friday #3

Sorry I didn't search for an existing discussion. SleeplessinSoCal Yesterday #27

You didn't need to "search for an existing topic." But your saying "This week they're a hot topic" caught highplainsdem 22 hrs ago #31

Btw, 9 of my 10 favorites listed above are on the tour setlist. The exception there is The Hindu Times, highplainsdem 21 hrs ago #32

I don't think there's any time when someone's "due to discover them." Their concerts have people of highplainsdem Yesterday #21

I think you misunderstood my joke. It was only on me. nt BootinUp Yesterday #22
