'Stop The Clocks' is Oasis' first greatest hits compendium, & with a tracklisting personally selected by Noel Gallagher, it's a veritable grab-bag of everything Oasis - big hits, B-Sides & album tracks are all here. A number of notable hit singles, & several number 1's are omitted (D'Yer Know What I Mean, Stand By Me, Roll With It) in favour of B-Sides (The Masterplan, Talk Tonight) & album tracks (Slideaway, Morning Glory). The tracks are not assembled chronologically, which is a pet hate of mine when it comes to compilation albums, as you can't get a feel for the progression & development of the band. Nonetheless, all the obvious bases ...  Read the complete review

When I first heard that Oasis were doing a best of album I was a little concerned about what would be put out. I thought it may just be a record company exercise to makke some money off the always supportive Oasis fans.

It's a great rock song and the guitars are excellent. The lyrics are great. (5) ...  Read the complete review

Stop the PRESS let alone the clocks its quite possibly the greatest "greatest hits" album from my favourit band....... but be warned if you have loved oasis from the start, there is nothing new for you here. This is a very strange review for me to have to write beacuse even though OASIS are probably my favourite band of all time, I have to admite I am really not excited about this CD in the slightest..... but I can explain why... For me Oasis are the defining band of not only the BRIT POP movement of the mid-ninties, but as a young impressionable teenager at that time they also defined my entire music interests and tastes. For me Oasis is ...  Read the complete review
