Mind slightly blown after calculating how (comparatively) young even I was when this album came out.
Aye pretty weird seeing album anniversaries come and go and being slightly bemused and disbelieving . 25 years since What’s The Story this year. Bloody hell
Edit: double checked release date. I was only 10, bloody hell.
If you asked me to guess how old I was when this record came out I would have gone at least ten years older than what turned out to be the case
Did you have an onion on your belt?
In my mind yes, but actually no (it turns out)
I mean, I don’t know why I was so far out - it came out just before I met my wife and my daughter started University at the weekend. If I’d thought about it I should have been able to work out that it was quite a long time ago.
can’t remember if I said this to the original post but I’m totally with you on the shoegaze thing. This was one of the major moments Shoegaze became Britpop
I think with music it’s easier to lose track of how old something is when it’s either ubiquitous or a fave. Maybe particularly true of certain types of music as they don’t age as badly/obviously.
It’s a bit more general than that - things seem like they happened yesterday until you remember all the things that happened in between (which I’ve realised sounds a bit like one of Noel’s lyrics).
Nothing wrong with that, good track.
Look at it without all the baggage of what Oasis became, and it’s a genuinely thrilling rock n roll album of the kind that British bands hadn’t been making for the ten or fifteen years before it came out. It’s the only Oasis album I like or can even listen to (well apart from the Masterplan compilation), but I will stand up for it all day long. 9/10.
Did you forget what year you were born?
Fucks sake mate, stop taking the piss out of Uncle Bilbo

And it looks like @thewarn agrees with us
More a question of maths never being my strong suit.
Never heard it but morning glory is a 4/10 so I’m going for that
A counterpoint to this might be that it could be considered patronising to say that working class people were not aware of music outside of Oasis or able to critique it.
Working class people can be introspective or introverts too I think
Yes, I sure am. Not beyond the realms of possibility to imagine Oasis were inspiring to working class youths (introverted ones included) though is it?
It’s not sure but they don’t necessarily have to be romanticised or tied to the working class as a whole, i wasn’t aware of much class consciousnesses to their stuff or interviews since.
. 25 years since What’s The Story this year. Bloody hell
