'songbird' off of heathen chemistry was actually really lovely, a good simple love song
i think that's what's best about it, that it's not cluttered by the suffocating production the rest of the album suffers from
and 'd'you know what i mean?' is actually, i think, a killer single... and the be here now album is not exactly a stinker, just not great... people were just ready to knock them down... it could have been worse, they could have released 'standing on the shoulders of giants' first...
people also forget about 'the masterplan' b-sides collection. that album is almost better than the first two, fantastic running order, and just a great bunch of songs. makes you wonder how they could pull it off so easily for "throwaway" b-sides, and then stumble on album tracks proper
p.s. 'd'you know what i mean' has a great film clip too
