Oasis - Definitely Maybe (1994)

"Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a pod when there's nothing worth casting for?"

In the history of rock music, few debut albums have had the seismic impact of Oasis' Definitely Maybe. Released in 1994 at the height of the grunge movement, this group of Mancunians countered the nihilism of the day with their own brash brand of life-affirming rock 'n' roll. Their mix of loud guitars, sneering vocals, pop sensibilities, and stadium-sized hooks immediately took hold in England, propelling them to the forefront of the "Britpop" movement.

Over three decades later, Noel and Liam Gallagher mended fences and took their band (including founding member Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs) back on the road. The Live 25 tour has been a triumph, balancing 90's nostalgia with crackling performances that sound fresh as ever. With a songbook featuring cuts like "Live Forever", "Supersonic, "Slide Away", "Cigarettes & Alcohol", and more, it's no surprise Oasis is finding themselves yet again as the world's biggest rock band.
