10 Terrible Rock Songs By Legendary Rock Bands

10. Magic Pie - Oasis

Some of the biggest Britpop fans have been spending the past few years washing their hands of Oasis' Be Here Now. Although this wasn't a colossal failure by any stretch of the imagination, this feels like the moment where the entire Britpop movement concaved in on itself and started its downward slide. And while there are a couple of decent songs on this record, stuff like Magic Pie doesn't help the album's case.

After going through the big singles like D'You Know What I Mean, this is the one track that practically kills all of the momentum that the album has going for it, with some of the doofiest lyrics that Noel Gallagher has ever written. Then again, this is Oasis! We shouldn't have to worry about lyrics not making any sense, especially since we listened to stuff like Digsy's Dinner all the way back on Definitely Maybe.

The big problem here though is how straight the band is playing. At least on the joke tracks on the last few albums, you could tell that the group were at least having fun. With Noel having basic chords strumming and singing about how he's got his magic pie, this is not the same kind of nonsensical song to shut your brain off to. This feels like one of the greatest songwriters going back to the basics out of pure exhaustion.
