Inspired by the Oasis Podcast, here's a thread to discuss each Oasis track in alphanumeric order. At the time of this original post the podcast is up to A Bell Will Ring which is the 6th song (thanks to all those parentheses that Noel's fond of).
Updated edits: the full list, updated 25 July 2018:
Starting off we have:
(As long as they've got) Cigarettes in Hell
Noel written, Noel sung B-side to 2000's Go Let It Out single (the lead single from 4th album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants) - it sounds like a song from the album, like an Oasis song of the time; it's dark, moody, slow - a far cry from the celebratory nature of so many of Oasis' material from Definitely Maybe to Be Here Now.
Like several tracks on SOTSOG, there's a mellotron (but put to pretty pedestrian use), and backwards guitar.
Lyrics of note: "I don't mind not being immortal - 'cos it ain't all that as far as I can tell. And I don't mind not going to heaven - as long as they've got cigarettes in Hell".
The song ends with Noel (?) taking a drag and coughing.
As a B-side, would it have been better placed on the album? I'm going to go with no - it's weaker than even the weakest SOTSOG tracks; its dreariness would have bogged down an already under-appreciated album.
Rating: 4/10 - I rarely listen to it, often skip it if it comes up on a shuffle.
Your thoughts?

Starting off we have:
(As long as they've got) Cigarettes in Hell
Noel written, Noel sung B-side to 2000's Go Let It Out single (the lead single from 4th album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants) - it sounds like a song from the album, like an Oasis song of the time; it's dark, moody, slow - a far cry from the celebratory nature of so many of Oasis' material from Definitely Maybe to Be Here Now.
Like several tracks on SOTSOG, there's a mellotron (but put to pretty pedestrian use), and backwards guitar.
Lyrics of note: "I don't mind not being immortal - 'cos it ain't all that as far as I can tell. And I don't mind not going to heaven - as long as they've got cigarettes in Hell".
The song ends with Noel (?) taking a drag and coughing.
As a B-side, would it have been better placed on the album? I'm going to go with no - it's weaker than even the weakest SOTSOG tracks; its dreariness would have bogged down an already under-appreciated album.
Rating: 4/10 - I rarely listen to it, often skip it if it comes up on a shuffle.
Your thoughts?
