This week on #JuxtapozSoundandVision, we look at 1995's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis. It was the album that, in way, bookends a legendary two-year run for Oasis, from young upstarts in Manchester to perhaps era defining heights of Knebworth at the tail-end of the Morning Glory tour. Oasis played for two nights and a quarter million people, where 4% of the British applied for tickets! Insanity. As known as they were in the US for the brotherly fights of Liam and Noel Gallagher, there were absolute tunes coming from the guitar of Noel. "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova..." I don't care who you are, you know a lyric in these songs, Beatles-esque and singalongs at every pub and karaoke from now to eternity. •
Who cares if they fought: they played good songs, brashly, loved cigarettes and alcohol (and copious amounts of drugs) and were having the time of their lives. I was 13 in California the first time I heard “Cigarettes & Alcohol" from Definitely Maybe, and I wanted to be a rock star. Fuck being sad and moping about, I wanted to feel Supersonic, whatever the hell that meant. Oasis were central to Britpop, signing “slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball." What? Exactly, just singalong. •
The cover of (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was shot by Michael Spencer Jones on Berwick Street in Soho, London, known for its independent record shops. The two men walking on the cover are art director Brian Cannon (back to camera) and  DJ Sean Rowley, with Morning Glory producer Owen Morris in the distance. •
Noel Gallagher thinks the band should have taken a break or even broke up after Morning Glory and Knebworth. They were never going to top any of it, and to be fair, not a lot of bands had a two-three year run like Oasis did in the mid-1990s. Even if you hate them, you know them. And if you love them, its because of the incredible songwriting burst from Noel during this era. Blur and Pulp may have won the arty game, but Oasis made you pick up a guitar and learn that 4-chord intro to "Wonderwall,” even if you have no idea what one is.

thoughtcat Even though I love London and (for a short while at the time) this album, I always felt this was one of the dullest record sleeves ever. You barely know it’s London, the men are dressed boringly, the colours are drab, it’s obviously staged, it could be any two blokes in any shopping centre anywhere in the UK. Which I realise was part of the concept, but that doesn’t make it any better.

roemilo I loved The Beatles a lot when my parents got into them when I was a kid in the 90's and that never stopped me from liking Oasis. If anything their attitude was off putting but we can all be a-holes. I have so many great memories to their albums when I lived in Hawaii ❤️

carl_rosati Went to Knebworth... tours were selling £5 tickets outside the stadium. Maybe 1% of the population wanted tickets, the other 3% were probably scalpers. Still great to see them peaking at Knebworth, it was all downhill from there unfortunately

shoestargazer @epricco it’s crazy to think a band releases a song as timeless as wonderwall then they slap a b side on the single called “the masterplan” that actually might be a better song. What band in their right mind would do such a thing?

velly_g Nooooo. They were/are a bunch of posers from Burnage who wanted to be the Manchester scene and then rode on the coat tails of great bands who came before them. Joy Division. Happy Mondays. The Stone Roses. New Order.

elysbrozzi Was and still am a huge Oasis fan. Champagne Supernova was my song off that album. If only Noel & Liam could have held it together as brothers who knows what heights Oasis may have hit.
