High Voltage, I remember a song of Be Here Now called "Don?t go away" that was marvelous and precious. It went something like:
"So don?t go away,
say whay you say (???????)
say that you?ll stay
forever and a day
in the time of my life...".
Nearly made me cry... It?s such a pity that bands self-destroy themselves, specially when they are leaders of some trends, like Oasis seemed to be of Brit Pop. Their solo stuff may be great but I always think that no solo album is better than a band?s one (well, there are some exceptions :P). By the way, Noel was singer or guitar player???.
I have a cousin that loved Oasis, I should ask him about them... They had good songs like "Champagne Supernova", "What?s the story", "Live Forever" and "Don?t go away". Also remember some funny track, "f*****g in the bushes" that was fun. A pity they wnet this way.
And for Loque... Let?s do something, since I have my Mike Oldfield collection right in front of my computer I will tell you exactly what his albums are :D:
-Tubular bells (classic).
-Tubular bells 2 (classic... Get the premiere video, rules).
-Tubular bells 3 (nice but weaker).
-Tres Lunas (cool chill out album... Some nice melodies in there).
-The Killing Fields (soundtrack for the same name film).
-Tubular bells 2003 (re-recording of tubular bells with new technology. Funny).
-Crises (One of his best albums. Includes classics "Moonlight Shadow" and "High Places". Also includes fun "Foreign affairs").
-Islands (Damn good pop album with Bonnie Tyler in some vocals... Cool though soft. Includes a long instrumental suite that is cool).
-Heavens Open (Rock album... Good songs, awful production, Mike on Vocals... Last with Virgin label, full of messages about it).
-Earth Moving (My favourite).
-The Songs of Distant Earth (Pre-chill out album... Totally cool. Also one of my first records in CD :D).
-Voyager (Nice if you like celtic music).
-Ommadawn (Strange... Instrumental album, strange and beautiful).
-Guitars (Well... Album about guitars. Is nice but... Sometimes boring).
-Five Miles Out (A little weak but has the classic "Family Man" in it).
-Q.E.2 (For Queen Elizabeth II... Cool if you like instrumental music).
-Incantations (Personally don?t like it).
-Platinum (Long forgotten album... Sad it?s not well known).
-Discovery (Same as previous. Not bad, not good).
-Amarok (Meaning "Wolf" in Inuit and intended to be second part of Ommadawn... Scary as hell!!!).
-The Millenium Bell (Totally awful techno thing).
-Hergest Ridge (One of his first or the first album... Nice).
And that?s all concerning me!!!. Enjoy and happy new year!.
