Both are great, but the newer track from 1984 I prefer. I think that's normal innovators inspire the next generation. As long as the new stuff has its own personality.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-38461125335002104162017-01-24T12:36:54.500+00:002017-01-24T12:36:54.500+00:00I never liked Oasis, in principle.

It soon got filled up, though, didn't it? And, unfortunately, for everyone else who stepped up to the easel, they found Lennon & McCartney's stamp all over the place.

Funnily enough earlier today, before reading this post, we were listening to Blossoms' 'Blown Rose' - do really like it but we both remarked that it's definitely quite Beatlesque!
