For a second there it really did feel like Oasis were the biggest band on the planet. With this album they cracked the US charts a feat Blur couldn't get anywhere near. Although I was happy when Blur beat Oasis in that singles battle both songs turned out to be quite rubbish. But the album Morning Glory was just magnificent. It seemed to put England right back at the centre of modern music. London swings indeed even if it was with a Manchester beat.
The album was stuffed with great songs. A lot of the songs we played at the Lizard lounge. The big one of course was Wonderwall which got the crowd singing along. They also went crazy for She's Electric too. The title song was played a few times but never quite caught on.
The Britpop era was such a good time. Some brilliant songs came out of it. When it started to die off I was amazed at how the daggers came out. And then it became a bad word.
I continued to buy Oasis Cds. There was always a few good ones on there. Liam's got a great voice. And Noel is the best interviewee no doubt. He is incredibly off-hand and funny. The stuff he comes out with is priceless.
Oasis have been deemed an overrated band. With the amount of scorn heaped on them, I would say they are definitely underrated.
