Oasis

Finally warming up to the new Oasis album - Don't Believe The Truth. Dismissed it as Oasis in the '60s - it has influences from just about everybody, most of all Bob Dylan, The Who and The Stones, but I kinda like it now. Current favourite - Part of the Queue. Like the fact it sounds so sunny despite the lyrics. Loved Oasis while I was at college - Do you know what I mean is still a personal favourite. I mean, which 18 year old can resist lyrics like this:

I met my Maker, I made Him cry
And on my shoulder He asked me
Why His people wont fly through the storm
I said, listen up man
They don't even know you're born

Critics have called Don't Believe The Truth a return to form by the former bad boys of alternative. Hope so.
