Wonderwall - one of the
best songs ever written. Liam's a div. Noel's a bighead, but the bloke writes great songs. Only issue I have ever had with NG was the 1996 Brit Awards 'has been' comment to Michael Hutchence - something that didn't sit well with a lot of Oasis fans. It was a low blow, and by all accounts it went deep with MH because he loved their music. That, and he had an undiagnosed brain injury which was the main factor in his decline as an artist.
The Verve? What can I say? Their homecoming concert at Haigh Hall still makes the hairs stand up on my chest!
The Rolling People and
Come On? If I had to choose
one album from the 90s, it would be Urban Hymns.
The Prodigy? A bit niche, I'll grant you.
Charly got me into them, and my elderly mother-in-law quite liked
Firestarter (but she was on a concoction of medications at the time)
The smashing guitars and shenanigans? You can blame Elvis, Eddie Cochran and Jerry Lee Lewis for all that because Elvis Presley was shaking his bits in front of young ladies in the 50s, Jerry Lee Lewis was singing about Great Balls of Fire (let's not mention his 13 year old cousin, eh?) and Eddie Cochran's rebellious attitude
epitomised 1950s rockers and the Teddy Boy scene which my lovely dad was part of - right down to the creeper shoes.
Attitude
started in the 50s when teenagers decided they'd had enough of being seen and not heard, and each generation has taken things one step further (wasn't there a Eurovision song called that?)
