原文來自樂評網站Pitchfork 的5-10-15-20專欄 這個專欄會邀請藝人分享他們不同年齡時(5歲,10歲,15歲...)喜歡的專輯 今天他們邀請的是Andy Bell, 他25歲選的專輯是Oasis: Definitely Maybe 也提到這張專輯給他的震撼以及後來加入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歲選的專輯是Danger Mouse: The Grey Album 關於Jay-Z與Noel的口水戰,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. 完整訪問請見: http://t.co/oHoz0LJ -- 看團最爽-出國聽音樂祭的白日夢 http://soooong.blogspot.com/ --
