Music Appreciation

Here's their Wikipedia discography page:

Golden Earring... I loved their two world-wide hits, Radar Love and Twilight Zone, and the albums those were on, but wasn't familiar with most of what they'd done till I started looking for information on the internet, realized how many hits they'd had in the Netherlands, and how interesting their story was, starting with a 13-year-old kid who taught his neighbor to play guitar, and then formed a band that stayed together for nearly 60 years.

Oasis... LOL. I didn't care for Oasis in the '90s - though of course you couldn't avoid hearing or reading about them then - mainly because I didn't like Liam Gallagher's voice or behavior ( see https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/the-key-to-understanding-the-gallagher-brothers-feud ). I'd thought the Stone Roses, who'd come out of Manchester five years earlier and influenced Oasis, were great (though their lead singer, who sounded fairly good on their studio albums, was infamous for singing badly live). Preferred the Roses to any of the Britpop bands of the '90s. But the Oasis reunion tour is a huge event in music, and their music actually sounds much better to me now than it did 30 years ago, partly because there's been so damn much really bad music since then. And I don't mind Liam's voice the way I used to, in part because I'd much rather hear him than the autotuned crap we hear so much of these days.

Probably NOT the answers you expected. Anyway, I searched this forum and saw how little had been posted about Oasis over the years, and decided it wouldn't hurt to add more. And I've found a number of interviews with Noel Gallagher interesting (Liam, not so much) and will be posting those. Already posted some. I enjoy learning about and writing about musicians. Some background can make their music much more interesting.

I've had some British friends over the years, of course, and American friends who worked and lived in the UK, but I've never had my musical taste changed by those friends or any others. I did hear a lot more of the Moodies than I really wanted to when I was involved with a Moodies fan for a while.
