原文来自乐评网站Pitchfork 的5-10-15-20专栏 这个专栏会邀请艺人分享他们不同年龄时(5岁,10岁,15岁...)喜欢的专辑 今天他们邀请的是Andy Bell, 他25岁选的专辑是Oasis: Definitely Maybe 也提到这张专辑给他的震撼以及後来加入Oasis的始末 It was like an atom bomb-- in a good way-- in the social group that I was in. You had myself and Ride, Primal Scream, Teenage Fanclub, a lot of bands knocking around who were sort of mate-y. And then suddenly along comes Oasis, and the music was just everything that all of us had been waiting for. You can't really overstate their impact. We were all talking about this stuff, and then suddenly it came true: an amazing rock'n'roll band who could get to the top of the charts. We thought it was going to be one of our bands. While Ride did have a definite progressive success over those couple of years before that, we weren't getting to that Beatles level. But there was a feeling that, if the right band came along, they could do it. And here's this really young, streetwise, good-looking, arrogant band with a load of the best songs of the last 20 or 30 years. You just can't plan that kind of thing. It's once in a lifetime. I joined the band five years later, in '99, and it came out of the blue. My life changed a lot between 1995 and 2000. Ride broke up and then I started a new band called Hurricane No. 1 that did a couple of albums, but without much success, really. I got a bit disillusioned with the whole thing and ended up moving to Sweden. I had left the music business officially when I got a call from the guys in Oasis wondering if I would come and audition for the bass player role. I did it with mixed feelings, but as soon as I got in the room with them and played, I just thought, "This has got to be. This is it. This is amazing." It was a great moment. 另外Andy 35岁选的专辑是Danger Mouse: The Grey Album 关於Jay-Z与Noel的口水战,他的看法是: Pitchfork: You say you like Jay-Z. But Noel Gallagher infamously had some critical comments about Jay headlining the Glastonbury Festival in 2008. Did you ever have arguments with him about that? No. I think Noel likes Jay-Z anyway. I don't know what he was talking about when he made that comment. That's his opinion; that's not my opinion at all. But, in terms of actually liking Jay-Z's music, I'm pretty certain that Noel was a fan as much as anyone else. Jay-Z's an undeniable artist. 完整访问请见: http://t.co/oHoz0LJ -- 看团最爽-出国听音乐祭的白日梦 http://soooong.blogspot.com/ --
