I’ve always liked Oasis but admit I don’t know a lot about them aside from their most popular songs and a few albums I bought when I was young. With the tour coming up that I excitedly have tickets for I thought it would be good to get some background knowledge and learn more.
This book was really well written and I loved how it was set out with a list at the beginning of all the characters that were involved in the Oasis journey. As the book progressed it was good to read sections from different people and to hear their points of view.
I really enjoyed the book and I definitely learned lots of new facts. The discography and filmography at the back of the books were also great and I am looking forward to the return of Oasis.

A huge Who fan, I first saw them live in 1967 when they were third on the bill behind Strawberry Alarm Clock and Herman's Hermits. Thanks to the magic of music streaming, this book was a trip down memory lane, as i once again listened to each album while I read the track by track description of the writing and recording processes.
This is not a Who biography, if you're looking for that, read Dave Marsh's excellent 1983 book "Before I Get Old." This is really a detailed discography with author commentary and intricate details that even a hardcore Who fan like me didn't know. I was thoroughly engrossed in the book from the very beginning and read it straight through in a little over a day. Highly recommended for fans of The Who.

Keris Fox explores what it means to be a fan, especially as a middle-aged woman, in The Harry Styles Effect... A glorious tribute to fandom, friends and - obviously - Harry Styles.
