One of the many things I never understood about this band is just where the Beatles were. The ebullience, the wit, the harmonies, the singing...uh, the songwriting? Cotton Mather made me understand that when Oasis says they love the Beatles, they really mean the post-Help!, pre-Sgt. Pepper Beatles, but that excuse doesn't fly 'cos A. I fuckin' love the Beatles from start to finish and B. Beatle comparisons are only valid when you write songs at least as good as...uh..."We Can Work It Out?" Instead, Oasis, meaning loudmouth bro Noel Gallagher, writes songs that resemble the Revolver-era Beatles in momentum and thickened texture, but not in depth, wit, or charm, and then proceeds to add arena swagger in the size of the drums and bigged-up vocals. This band-selected ten song best-of documents their sonic moment as fully as anyone needs. My only gripe is that they left off the first album's opener "Rock 'n Roll Star." If there's one song that sums up these bigheads' message to the world, it's that. B
