(What's the Story) Morning Glory?

Tuesday 9 June 2009

This one of those albums that one just *has* in a collection -- a bit like Queen's Greatest Hits used to be -- without knowing how or why.

I paid no attention to Oasis before or after this and only know the Gallagher brothers by their eyebrows, but you know what? There are some stonking songs on this album (and I use that word advisedly) and it is amazing that Wonderwall doesn't make you want to kill yourself after all this time. He made three million quid the week that single was released, apparently.

So there it is, a somewhat significant album in the canon that is Britpop and not as irritating as I had supposed for all these years.
