Graham Coxon - I Wish

[bahajala]

I used to work at a store in the mall that played this, at the time I was listening to a lot of sonic youth, so the chorus really struck me when i heard it. Not really a huge fan of Blur or much of Graham's work, but I honestly think this is one of the greatest songs ever written. It's so honest, and so emotional, in the blandest way possible. A huge heap of contradictions that are astonishingly good.

Te amo mi Graham Coxon te amo Graham Coxon este hombre me tiene loca :'(

[nicoarg7787]

@lalpisa ahhh bueno es es uno de los guitarristas mas alternativos que hay , por lo menos a mi gusto.

[jackwhitesguitar]

Awesome, just awesome.

[lazoking]

graham please find to do sth less boring than this in your life

[danaic1]

@lazoking

what the heck! what do u mean ????

[tbitsu27]

Graham is wayyy better than Noel... Don't even bother comparing. Noel is just another guitarist, Graham was the king of guitarists in the 90's. I think he still is

[MrNigelc]

Come on coxon!

[LikeASugarPlumFairy]

[Flyeyespectacles]

@LittleMc15

You know fuck all about music... that is all.

'emo', what a twat.

[lalpisa]

@LittleMc15 emo sounding? are u kidding me? fuck yourself!

[samwaysdean]

Errr how about because not all guitar playing is about solos?

[brunomcrispim]

nice point

[lexo30]

But that's my point. If you analyse their playing styles, Graham Coxon is a great inventor of memorable riffs - play Parklife, Charmless Man, Beetlebum on a guitar, and you recognise the song instantly - whereas Noel Gallagher usually just strums or plays arpeggios, and buries the song in multiple guitar overdubs in the hope that we won't notice how anonymous the accompaniment is. Wonderwall is arguably an exception, but it's still just anonymous strumming - it's not a full-blown riff.

[lexo30]

I know all guitar playing isn't about solos - that's why I think it's funny that Noel Gallagher, who claims to think that Coxon is a better player than he is, sprays or rather sprayed his own playing all over Oasis's records, whereas Graham Coxon tended to be much more economical. Gallagher should have learned from Coxon instead of just paying lip service.

[lexo30]

Always liked his playing. I think it's funny that Noel Gallagher thinks that Graham Coxon is the best guitarist of his generation - if that's the case, Noel, how come you solo all the way through the song and Graham doesn't?

[granola4thahighrolla]

this guys on the money. the gallghers are fuckin spectacular wankers.
