Some Might Say: The Definitive Story of Oasis

Well written and thoughtfully presented, any oasis fan will definitely appreciate this book. The text includes a comprehensive overview, with a detailed band history, reviews of key gigs, and complete analysis their entire catalog.All based on loads of archival interviews and other source material.But as with any truly comprehensive retrospective of a band that held it together for the better part of two decades, it's bound to feel like a lot... Like a lot a lot.At times, I couldn't help but wonder, is this book ever going to end???But all of that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book!

My husband is enjoying this book

Nothing you don't already know but a good quick read about one of the most important bands in music history.

There aren’t many details on the Oasis story that aren’t already wel-documented. It’s never going to be The Beatles in Hamburg but for a generation, the story of ‘that’ night in Glasgow is steeped in folklore.That the band are defunct and the subject of constant speculation regarding a will they/won’t they reunion is touched upon but no magical insights offered - draw your own conclusions.What the book does - and does exceptionally well - is weave together the narrative of the band’s dizzying rise. Told from the viewpoint of numerous individuals who were right in the heart of the Oasis hurricane. Notably, ex-drummer Tony McCarroll and prescriber of all things pharmaceutical, Simon Mason. This gives a balanced insight and is not merely an exercise in blowing sunshine up the bands collective backsides.If you were there, you’ll wallow in the heady days of the 90’s and know you saw something unique and special. Noel Gallagher was - for a time - conducting the nation and it’ll never be recreated. Either by the band reforming or some new upstarts picking up guitars and an attitude.The book is a must for any fan of the band - new or old. That it is as bang up to date as it is means that it’s both definitive and indispensable.The book is a limited print and feels like a quality addition to any collection. Big recommend from this satisfied reader.

The media could not be loaded.  Impeccably researched, engrossingly written and bursting with unheard anecdotes, this hefty tome is essential reading for anyone even remotely interested in music history. A truly stunning piece of work.
