Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

So here it is, the new Oasis record. Everytime one of these are released, the hype is almost unbelievable, a fact that has not always worked in there favour.

By 1996, Oasis had released two of the greatest British Rock n Roll Albums of all time, Definately Maybe and What's the Story Morning Glory. With this came immediate worldwide success, and for a time Oasis were the biggest band on the planet.

Thin Lizzy - Thin Lizzy - UK Tour '75

Its difficult to write something different about one of the most written about bands in rock history, especially when that band is Thin Lizzy, one if not the best and underrated bands of the 70’s and early 80’s. In Phil Lynott they had a talismanic songwriter / performer still very sadly missed to this day.

I know Lizzy are still gigging ( I only saw them last Xmas) and playing very well I might add. Its just not the same. Would Dave Grohl tour as Nirvana, I think not. I’d like to remember Lizzy as the band I saw in Bingley...
