Hi everyone out there in Sonic Collective land. This is Scott G and I’m bringing you the last pick for 2023. We’re going to rock out this December to Oasis’s third-best album: “Be Here Now”. You may remember it from the singles “D’you know what I mean?”, “Stand by Me”, “All around the world” or “Don’t Go Away.” You may also remember it as the last album that featured the original members.

Now, you may be asking, “why the third best album, Scott? Why not the second or first?” Well those albums mattered for their own reasons and I adore them, but there’s a whole lot going on here behind the scenes and on the album that I think is deeply worth exploring. Both in the context of the band’s development, and the britpop music scene as well. Top it with just analyzing how the album is crafted in general, and there’s a lot of meat on this bone to chew over at the end of the month.
