the mastermind and chief songwriter behind the famed British band has had enough. my condolences to Oasis fans everywhere, but it seems as though Oasis is done as we know it. I include myself in the category of fans, even though my enthusiasm for the band waned as the years have progressed.
Noel only wrote a handful of songs off Dig Out Your Soul, right? the less he wrote, the worse they got. Noel was always the talented one, the level headed one. in an interview with SPIN, he even admitted that Ryan Adams' version of "Wonderwall" was better than either he or Liam could ever do, which is the absolute truth.
good going Noel, now you're free to spread your wings. for the record, I'd like to see a solo album. if Jarvis Cocker can do it...
here's the first track from their breathtaking debut, Definitely Maybe.

one album wonders - def maybe was amazing, everything after that was turgid bollocks.
Wouldn't count on a solo Noel. It's easier for Jarvis to embark on a successful solo path without hanging on to some Pulp glory since Pulp has always been known as Jarvis Cocker + 4 other guys/girl band. And the reason why Thom Yorke's Eraser was a success is that Radiohead is still around. Oasis, on the other hand, is(was) a Noel and Liam show. It's true that Noel is the talented one but Liam is the one bringing in the crowd. He's the charismatic one and Jarvis even wishes to have some of Liam's persona so he won't have to leap or dance awkwardly on stage to get people to watch him.
hm. good argument. I always liked Noel better though.
