10 Blatantly Unfinished Rock Albums (That Were Released Anyway)

10. Be Here Now - Oasis

You couldn't imagine another album that was more hyped up in recent memory more than Be Here Now. After coming off of two of the biggest records of the '90s, it looked like Oasis could do no wrong and were guaranteed to become the next legendary rock band alongside their heroes like the Beatles and The Stones. If only someone had to Noel Gallagher to lay off some of the effects though.

Even with its amazing reception when it was released, Be Here Now is a lot more rough around the edges than you probably remember. It's not that these songs aren't done...they are the exact opposite. Given all of the overdubs across every single track, it sounds less like the fun Mancunian band that we got to know and a lot more like them trying to write their next masterpiece.

While people have chalked this disaster up to them trying to outdo themselves, Noel has been upfront about this entire project being the end result of them burning themselves out on drugs and putting one guitar solo on top of another just because they can. If time has taught us anything, it's that just because you can doesn't necessarily mean that you should. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time that we accept that this is the Britpop equivalent to Chinese Democracy: a labor of love...but miles away from being a finished product.
