good morning good morning –
You want an Oasis hoddle? Here’s your Oasis hoddle.
I don’t care for Oasis. Like I said, I’m more of a Blur and Suede fan. When are Suede going to tour again in the US anyways?
Anyways, none of us expected Oasis to get together again, right? And I get why it’s a huge deal. I really do.
So let’s take a really brief trip down memory lane to recall some other music reunions (and I know I won’t get to them all):
- Spice Girls – This was a pretty big deal at the time too. But is it really a reunion if Posh Spice didn’t show up? I’m not so sure.
- Motley Crue – I was really excited about this one. Coming fresh off The Dirt, people were talking about Motley Crue again. Vince Neil was horribly out of shape and then Covid hit, meaning your hoddler-in-chief had to relinquish his tickets.
- Jonas Brothers – More heavy metal than Motley Crue? No. But they are blood related.
- Fleetwood Mac – Now this is was a reunion. Lindsey Buckingham convinced Christine McVie to rejoin the group (and overcome a fear of flying) to start a very successful tour. Buckingham eventually left the group again, and was replaced by Neil Finn and Mike Campbell. Unfortunately, with McVie’s death in 2022, it looks like this group won’t be getting together again.
- ABBA – One of my least favourite groups, but a lot of people like them. Enough to even make a Dejan Kulusevski song out of it. In 2021 they released the album Voyage to critical acclaim, accompanied with a very successful tour.
And of course we have Led Zeppelin, The Eagles and others.
