Alex, Excellent point about Noel, I’ll admit, I generalized a little there. BUT technically I’m factually accurate. And as for Morning Glory, man, don’t defend a band who aren’t asking you too. They would be the first to admit, they’re really only interesting in singles and big hits.

People who say Dr. Dog (or Oasis, for that matter) sound “just like the Beatles” generally don’t know the Beatles’ actually recordings very well.

I know a few people who have said this about Dr. Dog, and I’ve challenged them to explain to me what exactly sounds like what … nobody can.

There is a “vibe” about them that is reminiscent of the Beatles (and the Band, and Captain Beefheart, among others), but they sound like Dr. Dog!!

This is kind of bullshit. Morning Glory had every song but one released as a single,and pretty much every song is a great anthem. Dont Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory, Some Might Say. Come on… that’s an album if there ever was one.

Also in this golden age of Oasis, Noel was the only songwriter.

so yeah…

I have to defend Oasis’ legacy. Surely Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory hold up as great records. Ambition wasn’t their downfall, but rather drink and drugs sidelining their talent.

The author has pegged Dr. Dog all wrong: They don’t sound like The Beatles at all, they sound like The Band.

And that’s not such a bad thing.
