Still, this generic statement is actually true about Oasis.

And Simple Minds.

And Auto, I thought the Killers woud be far too mainstream for you!
I never said that the Proclaimers were any good - just that I had seen them....and they were well past their sell by date then.

Right about Oaisis though - great first two albums in early 90's, then unbearable nasal droning ever since...they should have stayed broken up a long time ago....

Along with Dirty Vegas apparently. Husband has bought himself a ticket. I passed due to being mega-fatly preggers by that time.

Sure they've diversified but musically it's still p.d quality
Refreshing too from a lot of contempories whose 2nd album
sounds like a replica of their 1st.
If it's true,Dec 8th...I'll put on my 4 tops and say
'I'll Be There' and I hope to buy Mata a 'Warninks Advocat
at the Intercontinental cuz I know she won't miss it.

arguably the biggest band of recent years. One that plays guitars and stuff and your still not half way pleased.

Commander - it's in your back yard man - sorry it's not Simple Minds, but you know it's pretty good...
Auto, can you firm up on it happening on the 8th at all?
Please.

The statement about bands being good before people knew them - I hate to say it, but 70% of the time the first album is the only one ever worth listening to.... youth and exuberance over experience and practice.... save for the few that break through and crack it - then the genius has room to mature.

Jimmy - I think I am one of the few people to love the lyrics to The Killers "Human", but then I do love HST too... Sam's Town was a great 2nd album too. Not (hot) fussed if they are "popular" or "mainstream" but if they excite me. Few bands do consistently, The Killers are one of them....

Hey Auto,
For Brandon and the boyz to be at EP on 8th means they coming in from mega tour of US & Chile.You been up in the biz,think they'd do Middle East after such extensive tour?
