I got into Oasis after playing Rock Band. Like most everyone, I had heard Wonderwall at some part of my life, but I wasn't familiar with anything else. I enjoyed Live Forever, Don't Look Back In Anger, and Rock and Roll Star in the game, so I checked out their other stuff.
My favorite album of theirs is Be Here Now. It apparently gets a bad rap, but I love every song on there, especially Do You Know What I Mean, My Big Mouth, and Stand By Me. The albums after their first three definitely don't measure up, but there are still enjoyable songs within all of them (the difference is you have to put up with some other ones, too). Go Let It Out is probably in my Oasis top 5.
Since I've only really been listening to them for two years, the news doesn't tear me up as much as some others. Likewise, I missed all of the drama of the 1990s rivalries, so that doesn't bother me either. Sure, other members have written more songs on the later albums, but aside from a couple, most of the best ones are still the ones Noel wrote. I hope they can just take a break and then put this behind them (it's been a very long tour). But if not, I will look forward to some Noel solo albums.
