On this episode, we dive into Definitely Maybe, Alex Niven’s entry in the 33 ⅓ book series, which examines the album that launched Oasis to stardom. Niven's book goes beyond the music's creation to place the 1994 debut within the social and political context of working-class Britain. He argues that the album's optimistic, life-affirming sound provided a hopeful contrast to the dominant grunge scene, resonating deeply with a generation longing for connection.
