Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995)


Listen Later

"Someday you will find me caught beneath the landslide, in a champod supercasta in the sky . . . "

After Definitely Maybe exploded onto the scene, Oasis was charged with the ever-difficult task of following up its success. In the spring of 1995, they decamped to Rockfield Studios in Wales armed with Noel Gallagher's newly-minted tunes. Just over two weeks later, they completed their second album (with a ton of soon-to-be-classic B-sides left over) - by all accounts, a breezy and productive session only marred by one dust-up between Noel and Liam.

Released in October 1995, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was an immediate smash in the UK. It expanded upon their debut LP while maintaining the band's stadium rock bona fides; the power pop of "Some Might Say" and "Roll With It", lighters-in-the-air anthems "Champagne Supernova" and "Don't Look Back in Anger", and pulsating rockers like "Hello" and "Morning Glory". Oh, and some acoustic song by the name of "Wonderwall".
