Which is strange when you consider that you cant hear the influence in their music/song writing
I think Buckley suffers a bit from Jim Morrison syndrome, IE, he died in his prime therefore he must of been a genius, he did some awesome songs, quite a few of them were covers though, I must admit though that Grace is still one of my most listened to albums
Oasis pull big crowds because people in their
late 20's early 30's want to go and sing along to Live forever/supersonic/champagne super nova/wonderwall etc etc, which is great and I have no problem with that, but I bet there arent many Oasis fans that got into them on current material, which is whats needed for a modern, current stadium opening, you dont want nostalgia on a night like that, fuck, the crowd will be knocking the place down and trying to errect the wembly towers in a teary eyed memory of the past
Thrush, Good fucking call mate with the War Of The Worlds

never thought of that, only downside to that would be its not that current or have anything to do with the new wembley, I'd still love to see it though
Perhaps a good idea would be for someone to try and form a super group from todays cream of musicians/songwriters for a one off gig, Jack White, Dave Grohl, Thom Yorke, Johhny Borrell and maybe throw in a few OAP's like Townshend, Gilmour, Richards, Mcartney, Weller, slash etc etc, now THAT would be a night to remember, bit like Live 8 only good
