I know some people hate Oasis and brand them as uncreative for their use of similar chord progressions in their songs, particularly on What's The Story Morning Glory but I jolly well like their music from that period. This is a timeless classic, one that everyone should hear, that has, as is often the way, been covered by everyone who has ever picked up a guitar in the last 10 years. The song was so popular that some nonce covered it within a year of its release (Mike Flowers stand up) and even just the other night I heard some bird singing a strange slow and stretched version of it on the wireless. (Go vote for a version inc. Mike F and Jackie O!)
Imagine my shock when itunes randomly selected Omillio Sparks's's's 'In The Ghetto' for my listening pleasures and it sounded just like Oasis went 'hood. This is a classic ghetto narrative a la 2Pac except that Sparks is spitting over a drum machine-less Wonderwall chord pattern driven track. Anyway, it's not a bad song, more interesting than amazing, but it's not a bad song.
Oasis - Wonderwall (remix) - it's got beats and cuts and that.
Also on a Wonderwall tip; did you ever hear the mashups with Green Day (Boullevard of Broken Dreams) and Travis (Writing to Reach You)? The only reason that I found out they existed is that after hearing a (much better than the ones on you tube) mashup of these tracks with what I think was 'The Message' by Melle Mel in Turkey I really wanted to hear it again. If anyone can find the Turkish one I'd like that!
Stumble It!
