omg thank you so much!! well first of all its no pain at all, ive spent enough time and money on this dumbass band that it needs things like this to make it all worth it lol

so i have a lot of books on them but i’ll stick to recommending these first four as essentials; & then the next four are photo books so not biography but they do have text within, some more than others, & overall are beautifully done. (and all of the bio’s have picture sections as well!)

getting high (paolo hewitt) – indisputable #1 oasis bio. covers the definitely maybe & wtsmg tours. paolo was a friend of theirs so it is written from more of an insider’s view (he’s a music journalist) and yeah it just is so fucking good. reading this book gives a huge insight into liam & noels relationship especially and just how intertwined they were back then, as well as liam’s vulnerability despite his Tough Guy image. also it starts with their mother’s childhood in ireland and just UGH its so good You must read this book

forever the people (paolo hewitt) – shorter and less in depth than the first but this one covers the be here now tour. again more of the same “insider” look. it was like 4 years ago i bought it but i do think it was like $70 or some crazy amount… much rarer than other books it seems.. but yea

what’s the story (iain robertson) – ok so above all else this one wins worst book cover award but also the funniest thing ever. i actually used to have a different edition with a chill blue cover but lost it and maybe it was worth it just to have this one.. F**k me, what a gig… anyway, this is an odd book. it’s absolutely worth a read, has a shit ton of great stories… but it is also really up its own ass and robertson clearly thinks he is some sort of literary magician or something so it can be really insufferable and dramatic at times. but still worth it for sure.

brothers: from childhood to oasis (terry christian & paul gallagher) – of course! if you needed young gallagher anecdotes look no further. pretty straightforward. Liam used to breakdance and graffiti and his tag was “Galli”

oasis. definitely (tim abbot) – short and sweet

oasis: a year on the road (p.slatz) – i hate to promo this bc he is the reason my old blog was deleted but it is really nice sooo

supersonic: the oasis photographs (michael spencer jones) – BEST oasis photo book, its enormous and super high quality

was there then (jill furmanovsky) – my other fav oasis photographer, highly recommend

…and ok so tbh i dont own a copy of it buuuut oasis: the truth by tony mccaroll is also alright (i found it on pdf). but it is, in my opinion, at times even harder to read than the iain robertson book, just because tony’s grudge against noel is SO huge and he’s not a particularily good writer so it just is.. annoying.. it’s like whiny almost and just. I’m no Tony fan lol. but apart from all the Waahhh-Poor-Me it’s worth a read for all the old oasis memories. (just as an example of his whining, the original title of this book was, no joke: “The Noel Truth Is Nothing Like The Whole Truth”. like ok dude go sit down)

thanks so much for ur question ✌🏼😁
