Definitely Maybe

1994Britpop22 reviews

The fastest-selling debut album in UK history at the time. Loud, swaggering, and completely convinced of its own greatness from the very first note — Definitely Maybe arrived like a declaration of war against indie diffidence and grunge nihilism. Rock 'n' Roll Star is one of the great album openers: three chords, a massive riff, and Liam Gallagher's voice sounding like he was born to front the biggest band in the world. Live Forever is an anthemic rejoinder to Kurt Cobain's bleakness. Cigarettes & Alcohol channels T. Rex sleaze into something entirely Mancunian. Slide Away closes it with aching, open-sky romanticism. Noel Gallagher's songwriting was fully formed from the start. This is where it all began.

Non me ne frega niente se gli Oasis sono spesso così disprezzati, questo album spacca e non voglio sentire altro.

A classic. Easily one of the best debut albums, and one that helped define a whole era of attitude, music, and British culture. "Listen Up" should've been on it, and a couple of tracks ("Columbia" and "Live Forever") could've used some additional work in my opinion, but otherwise, really solid!

Oasis more like a bad fata morgana should have disappeared a long time ago
