Formed by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher and their Manchester mates, Oasis rose to the top of the British charts in the mid-'90s with its flair for classic psychedelic pop. The heavily Beatles-influenced rock of its debut album, 1994's Definitely Maybe, made Oasis overnight pop stars, while the Gallaghers' bravado, open drug use, and general disrespect toward other artists garnered constant media attention. Some detractors suggested that Oasis had merely mastered the musical ideas of others; regardless, the band’s first release sold in the millions.
In 1994 Oasis released Definitely Maybe (Number 58 U.S., Number 1 U.K.), which became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. The band quickly won the attention of the British music press with its blend of ’60s pop, ’70s glam, and the sneering attitude and bravado of punk. But some critics complained that the music was derivative, noting that “Cigarettes & Alcohol” blatantly stole the opening riff from T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong.” Oasis was later forced to change some lyrics to “Shakermaker” after a lawsuit filed by Coca-Cola charged the band with lifting the melody and some words from its jingle “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.”
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (Number Four, 1995) was greeted warmly by both fans and critics. It included the hits “Wonderwall” (Number Eight, 1995) and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” (Number 55, 1995) as well as the seven-minute epic of psychedelic pop “Champagne Supernova.” Trouble loomed, however: Liam was arrested for suspicion of cocaine possession, public feuding between the Gallaghers became a frequent occurrence, and Noel quit that year’s U.S. tour. Be Here Now (Number Two, 1997), with its ’70s arena-rock sound, was met with mixed reviews and relatively disappointing sales.
Dig Out Your Soul, the band's seventh studio effort, was scheduled for an October 2008 release, and featured a marketing strategy where buskers in New York City were hired to play songs from the album out on the street. Oasis also made headlines when Noel Gallagher was attacked onstage during a show in Toronto, with his injuries resulting in the cancellation of several shows prior to the release of the album. -rollingstone.com
