OASIS "(what's the story) morning glory?" 1995,cd. #1 UK, #4 US, #1 AU
in 1988ish i had totally given up on music...Style Council were releasing crap,Macca was going downhill,Costello was becoming boring and Kylie Minogue was getting #1 hits every time she released a single and radio was flooded with Stock,Aitken & Waterman produced crap! im pretty sure i didnt buy many albums between then and 1992 when Weller released his debut album.....but then in 1995 Oasis rekindled my interest in music with this brilliant album along with Blur,Weller's "stanley road",Alanis Morissette's "jagged little pill".
i didnt really like the debut album by Oasis and still dont. but this one blew me out of the water,guitars, ballads,acoustcs,Beatles rip-offs in "dont look back in anger" and the epic rock masterpiece "champagne supernova"...which i later found out Paul Weller played lead guitar on.
both Gallagher's vocals were brilliant and their songs had the knack of getting stuck in my head for weeks on end, the simplistic singalong tune "wonderwall" was the only real worldwide hit they ever had...and they piched that title from the George Harrison made movie of the same name.
both Noel and Laim Gallagher here high on Coke during the making of this one and neither can remember recording it, maybe they should have stayed on drugs, because they started to clean their act up after this one and nothing since has come close to this album.
unfortunately they will be remembered more for their tantrumsand foul language instead of their music!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
worst track: hello (only because they nicked a couple of lines from Gary Glitter for the song...and i dont like GG since his convictions)
