shitting on their own legend

It's like grandad at the wedding who has run out of cigarettes and tries to sing a song and you're like, oh, god, please, make it stop, even if we are going to be struck down with thunder and lightning, please for the love of all things holy stop. Because you can never criticise them. Oasis is a bit like that. Primal postmodern kitsch elevated to seismic proportions. Noone can criticise an oasis fan without looking like an absolute scrugelike cunt.

I'm inebriated enough to shit on a legend: CAN
should have sacked it after Future Days
ended up doing shit like this:
Can - E.F.S. Nr. 99 ("Can Can")
ffs - just awful
also responsible for the worst comeback album ever - Rite Time - more like "wrong time"

You can't be a fan of oasis if you want to be part of the revolution, all oasis supporters are de facto sanctioned to be hung, drawn and quartered for exciting base and primitive impulses in their middle class journo colleagues.
Even the very mild mannered @woops told me this in PM, your days are numbered Lucius. Repent! for the kingdom of god is in sight.

TBF though, the lost tapes that mute released in 2012 was class. But yeah after '73 they'd exhausted themselves.

Oasis always sounded like a pub band doing a Status Quo impression to me
They have some moments after Future Days, but yeah - diminishing returns. The crapness of the albums are in proportion to how cringe the pun titles are: Saw Delight; Rite Time...

I like some of Saw Delight, the album just before this

it averages about one decent track per album after Future Days - I can still feel the disappointment

I once tried a search on rateyourmusic for worst albums of the 70s, and those later Can albums took a few of the top spots

There's one killer track on there, but I'm struggling to recall the rest - may have to dig the vinyl out later
edit: in fact, I'm inebriated and I'm confusing it with "Landed"

'Dont say no' is the big one off that album. good song. Sunshine day and night is also a good song. listening to Call Me now.

if you know or think you know what a 'melodic progression' is you have no business listening to music

I relistened to all of Saw Delight and reaffirmed my original position. Call me is probably the only song I would skip. The reaction against it is probably due to it being a bit kitsch- disco rhythms and melodies, arabian nights and other world influences, easy listening- and that not jiving with the mythos of one of the canonical Cool Rock Bands.

its very unbecoming of barty to throw around drumming credentials like that
True, but you didn't apply that criterion to barty. When he goes off on one of his unified field theory of trisillo you're telling us how he understands UK drill in a way noone else does.
