la migliore è Mardy Bum

e secondo me è l'unica che merita veramente ... in seconda battuta riot van e il singolo che c'è in giro

[Riki]

Se doveste pensare a una sola canzone che merita veramente, quella è "A Certain Romance"... un capolavoro di canzone.

[Starframe]

RITIRARSI....non c'è nessuna band che con l'album di debutto abbia fatto così tanto come gli oasis....non è solo un fatto di vendite: DM ha anche cambiato la storia della musica rock...l'unico album che c'è riuscito in tempi recenti è Is This It perché ha dato il via a 1000000000 di gruppi fotocopia degli strokes,e in certo senzo fanno parte di questa categoria anche gli arctic...pensate forse che sarebbero emersi senza il ciclone Is This It? assolutamente no....gli oasis il successo di DM lo devono solo alle loro band ispiratrici,ma non sono di certo stati lanciati grazie ai beatles e agli stone roses...comunque rispetto gli arcitc e tra qualche giorno mi comprerò il loro album...poi vedremo

Non la penso esattamente così..gli Oasis sono gli indiscussi re degli anni 90, però la strada l'hanno aperta altri gruppi come Stone Roses, Blur, Primal Scream, Charlatans,Teenage Funclub. Va cmq dato merito a chi ha risvegliato la musica inglese dopo alcuni anni di torpore. Gli Oasis erano i migliori, ma hanno avuto tanto successo anche perchè hanno trovato il terreno fertile per proporre dischi come DM e WTSMG.

non credo sia stato solo questo...loro sono stati (come loro stessi direbbero.. )i più grandi , gli unici ingrado di riportare il rock alla luce in tutta la sua potenza....ma non solo il rock come musica..ma proprio come attitudine!
quando uscirono DM e WTSMG si ritornò indietro...si respirò l'aria del rock di una volta...vi ricordate la scritta infondo alla copertina di wtsmg?..fece sentire una generazione nn più sola..per nn parlare di canzoni cone LIVE FOREVER...o ROCK N ROLL STAR che racchiudeva in se i sentimenti che tutti vivevano...nella loro semplicità ed arroganza hanno raccontato i sentimenti e le emozioni di un decennio...ed è per questo, secondo me, che hanno spopolato..

Si, ma non ho detto che hanno avuto successo per via della scena che c'era...ho detto che ciò ha agevolato l'incredibile boom. Avrebbero avuto successo comunque...stiamo parlando di album grandiosi...sarei uno stupido a dire che non lo sono. Però qualcosa già si era mosso prima degli Oasis.
Per esempio all'inizio i Beatles erano comunque ispirati e "agevolati" dall'onda rock and roll americana che spopolava con Elvis, Chuck Berry e tanti altri. E stiamo parlando dei Beatles...quindi la mia osservazione non sminuisce di certo i Bros.

Se doveste pensare a una sola canzone che merita veramente, quella è "A Certain Romance"... un capolavoro di canzone.

si la mia preferita per ora..
insieme a bigger boys & stolen sweethearts che meriterebbe il posto da titolare

Arctic Monkeys' debut puts Oasis in the shade

The Arctic Monkeys are set to eclipse Oasis with the fastest-selling debut rock release ever after a frantic first day of online and over-the-counter sales.
More than 200 fans in Sheffield queued from midnight to buy the first copies of Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, after the four-piece band celebrated their second successive No 1 single with a small gig in their home town.

HMV estimated first-day sales of 60,000, which would mean the album selling more than 200,000 copies by the end of its first week in the shops to beat Oasis's Definitely Maybe, which became the fastest-selling rock debut in 1994.

The figure is even more impressive because January is traditionally a month of low record sales, and pirate copies of the album were leaked online last month. In keeping with a band whose reputation spread via word-of-mouth online after they released their first songs on their website, the band are continuing to refuse to appear on Top of the Pops. But singer Alex Turner, 19, guitarist Jamie Cook, 20, bassist Andy Nicholson, 19, and drummer Matt Helders, 19, will celebrate their success tonight with a sold-out concert in Dublin, the first date of the countrywide ShockWaves NME Awards Tour, alongside Maximo Park, We Are Scientists and Mystery Jets. Arctic Monkeys were also nominated for four NME awards yesterday.
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not was yesterday outselling the second-placed release, Richard Ashcroft's Keys to the World, by four to one on Amazon.co.uk. "Arctic Monkeys" was also the top Amazon search term over the weekend, ahead of favourites such as "iPod".

"We've shipped more Monkeys on day one than we did in the entire week one for Domino's [record label] last breakthrough act, Franz Ferdinand," said Damian Peachey of Amazon.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not was also the biggest-selling album on iTunes, while the Arctic Monkeys' two singles, When the Sun Goes Down - which went straight to number one in the singles chart - and I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, were the first and sixth most downloaded songs.

"I haven't seen this level of excitement for a new band since the arrival of Oasis more than 10 years ago," said Phil Penman, head of music at HMV.

"It's remarkable how, in just a few months, the Arctic Monkeys have gone from being a cool local band promoted by their fans via the internet to a superstar act connecting with the wider record-buying public."

Backstory

The Arctic Monkeys, the Sheffield four piece who got together after they were given guitars for Christmas, played their first gigs in 2003. Their rough and energetic album, with tales of working-class life, alcopops and prostitution, has drawn comparisons with The Clash, Magazine and Oasis. The observational eye of lead singer Alex Turner recalls another social chronicler from South Yorkshire, Jarvis Cocker.

Per favore mi riassumete cosa dice quell'articolo?

[Riki]

Ho appena letto su NME che ieri han venduto 100.000 copie. Un esperto della HMV si aspetta che per domenica ne vengano vendute 350.000, battendo così il record di "Fastest Selling Debut Album" di sempre.
