Bands who you only really need to own a Best Of for...

To be fair, 'This Is Hardcore' felt like a deliberate effort to kill their fame on the part of Jarvis Cocker.

I think of it as more of a "we are not like Oasis or Menswear" album, it's also my second favourite one.

Liking Oasis is grounds for discounting logical statements? My good Gryff, many of their songs are classics; such concepts as "Good" and "Bad" do not enter the equation. These songs simply ARE, and their being is enough.
I cannot believe you are going to sit there and honestly tell me that you have no place in your heart for anything by Oasis. That you have never sat around a campfire with friends and a guitar singing Wonderwall. That you have never sat and enjoyed the sounds of Stop Crying Your Heart Out. That you have never sung along with Breakfast At Tiffany's and laughed afterwards at how foolish it sounded, yet still enjoyed the song in a deep dark corner of your heart.
Any individual who could say such things HAS NO SOUL, let alone any business making critical remarks of my own taste in music.
I bid you good day and wash my hands of this.
For shame.

this is the best post i have ever read on the internet.
it is an exercise it utter hilarity, every line makes the previous one look thin by comparison. it accumulates like a snowball of inadequacy until at the end it becomes an avalanche of pure undiluted mirth.
it is the post that says 'i am thirteen and i live with my parents'.
salut senor Tergon! you are the great comedic writer of your era and you do not even know it. i suggest you continue writing in this style and i will help you find a publisher for it. i would buy ten copies of it myself.

Nineteen, actually. And I live on campus at University.
But thank you for your kind words. Hey, I'm a languages and literature student. Ridiculously over-the-top self-mockery in unusually floral and wordy statemtns is what I *do*.
Glad you liked it. ;)
--- Quote from: DynamiteKid ---Er, that's not by Oasis.

Uh... I knew that. I mean, yes it is. Shut up.
Meh, whatever. Rule #1 of music love is that EVERYONE has their secret musical shame. They all have the one band that they like which nobody else likes. For me, that happens to be Oasis.
Oh, come on. I suppose all of *you* have such impeccable tastes in music that nobody could *ever* dislike any of your favourite bands?
Give it up, you've all got a dirty little secret. So next time you feel like mocking me for liking Oasis, remember that album that you play all the time but don't admit you own in case people laugh. And remember that at least I had the balls to ADMIT it.
Hah.

It bemuses me that 'I Am The Walrus' is so lauded, when it really is just three half finished songs and an acid trip put in a blender.

As I said, I started liking I Am The Walrus when I was four. I would loudly shout "I AM THE EGGMAN, I AM THE EGGMAN" in the car. I didn't like it becuase it was pretentious or lauded or whatever. I liked it because it was the funnest thing I'd ever heard, ever. Even more fun than the Captain Planet Theme tune. It was MIND-BLOWING SHIT when I was four, ok?
Also, I Am The Walrus isn't actually an acid trip song, as far as I'm aware. It was written as a gently mocking tribute to surrealism, psychedelia, etc. and as a slap in the face to the type of Beatles fans who would analyse their lyrics like Shakespeare: It's all random, meaningless crap, like a lyrical Rorschach blot.

There is a Guilty Pleasures thread alrady. I'll readily admit I liked the first Mars Volta album.
