Oasis: Definitely Maybe

Embark on a journey back to 1994 with us, as Tim and I celebrate the seismic impact of Oasis's "Definitely Maybe" on the rock landscape. Strap in for a ride through the electric streets of Manchester, the breeding ground of the Britpop revolution, as we unveil the stories behind the iconic album cover, the Gallagher brothers' leap from local lads to music legends, and the tunes that became anthems of a generation. With a promise to reveal our top three deep cuts from the album—excluding the usual chart-toppers—we'll take you beyond the hits to uncover the soul of Oasis's debut masterpiece.

Feel the pulse of ambition and identity as we dissect the elements that forged Oasis's distinct sound, from the resonance of their guitars to the very essence of their rock and roll dreams. Our conversation dances between laughter and earnest appreciation as we break down the lyrics that etched the band's name into history. We'll also give a nod to the original lineup's enduring legacy and take a moment to muse on the fleeting nature of stardom for some after the album's release.

We wrap up our musical odyssey with a reflection on the tracks that defined not just a band, but an era. From brawls that bolstered their rebellious image to the unfiltered Manchester spirit coursing through their music, Oasis's legacy is a complex tapestry of artistry, antics, and the eternal quest for escape. Join us as we pay homage to the music that became the soundtrack for both raucous parties and the more contemplative moments of life.

Debut Album by Oasis in 1994

Speaker 1 0:00

My heart without a love of my own, oh man. You saw me standing alone, without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own, oh man.

Speaker 2 0:24

Alright, thank you for listening to the Greatest Non-Hits. I'm Chris and playing married with children. The song from the album Definitely Maybe by Oasis, august 29th 1994, is my, my bud, tim Cross, the Street co-hosts, and thank you so much for listening. We're gonna. We're gonna listen to a a, a Hell of an Album, a debut album by the band Oasis, from Manchester of all places. We've done a bunch of different podcasts about Madchester and the Manchester Movement, stone Roses, there's a bunch of others, new Order, etc, etc. But Oasis is from Manchester, big man, man City fans. So shout out to man City and their fans Chanting Blue Moon in the introduction there, which I believe the band, they themselves are supporters of man City. So again, this is their debut album. And let's just kind of go over some of the important facts. I've said it a few times this is the debut album. It's released August 29th 1994, released under the record label Creation Records.

Speaker 2 1:50

Definitely Maybe entered the UK album chart at number one and it became the fastest selling debut album in the UK at that time. It's an influential album. It's also credited as being a pivotal moment in the Brit Pot movement with the release of this album. So wow, they sold over 8 million copies. Maybe Awards in accolades 1997, it was named the 14th greatest album of all time in a music of the millennium whole conducted by HMV. In 2006, it was placed at number six on NME's list of the greatest British albums ever. Wow.

Speaker 2 2:33

Number six, so it's above some of the Beatles albums.

Speaker 2 2:40

Album cover features a photograph of the band members in Paul Arthur's house, aka Bonehead rhythm guitarist. It has some pop culture references in it. I think in the bottom left is sort of an image of Bert Backrack and there's a footballer on the opposite side, rodney Marsh. Alright, so I didn't know that. I knew it was Bert Backrack on the left, didn't know the name of the footballer, so shout out to Rodney Marsh Tracks. So, yeah, the hits on this one. This would be kind of tricky for us.

Speaker 2 3:27

I'm thinking well, I mean, there are a number of singles, I think Shaker Maker, live Forever, super Son and Consigrets and Alcohol. I think those are all the release of singles. Maybe you can slide away, I'm not sure, but Tim and I talked about this coming in. I have more familiarity with this. In fact, I bought this album when it came out or shortly after it came out and loved it immediately the way the rest of the Brits did, even though I'm not a Brit, but nevertheless I dig it.

Speaker 2 4:03

I'm thinking we'll consider Live Forever, super Sonic and cigarettes and alcohol, since Tim has no real bias in one way or another. So we'll limit it. I'll limit it for my voting. I'll also go in Shaker Maker, because it's not even in my top three anyway. Since that was the release of the single, I guess we can put it in there. But nevertheless, that'll all happen. At the end We'll rank our top three non-hits. We'll exclude those songs and rate our top three from the remainder. Nevertheless, what else can we say? I watched a documentary and I think it was Liam. There's two brothers. There's Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher. Liam is the youngest of three boys, I believe, in the family. Noel is older. There's a four-year difference between those two, I believe, but Noel is the lead guitarist and the main guy in the band, so to speak.

Speaker 2 5:29

I think that was the agreement when he was included into the band at the very beginning. His condition was I'm the leader and I have creative control of that kind of thing. I think that was the deal. But he was a great songwriter, a great guitar player. He'd really practice a lot from the documentary. Growing up, when they were in their rooms, noel was constantly on the guitar.

Speaker 2 5:57

Liam really wasn't into music as much but later became more interested in it. I think there was a story of him getting hit by a hammer and passed out blood on a pavement by a rando. I don't know, I'm not sure if I got even the story straight. After that he sort of fell into music. Later on he had a knack for the Beatles and that whole thing. That was sort of a revival in this Brit Pot movement. I think that the fact that a lot of these songs sound Beatles-esque at the time in the 90s, mid-90s, the two brothers were guys that looked similar with the mob top it seemed like a familiar nod to the past. That's not bad. Not bad for this. I think he just started doing this one when he came over about a couple hours ago. So pretty good for just picking it up.

Speaker 2 7:21

It's a pretty simple melody, but nevertheless I think he did it well. Anyway, this is Tim. How are you doing bud? Let's have a little sing-along here, little family sing-along.

Speaker 4 7:33

Yeah, we should. I don't know all the words to this, but it's there.

Speaker 3 7:41

How about a family sing-along?

Speaker 4 7:44

I can't believe that they've rated this above the Beatles. But that's neither here nor there. There's a million talking heads in the blue moon. It was to clarify.

Speaker 2 7:55

I guess it was a British survey and it finished number six of its best albums of all time. It was in 1997, and this album's a little bit fresher in pop culture at the time. Now it's almost all forgotten.

Speaker 4 8:09

Shout out to the blue moon.

Speaker 2 8:11

Yeah, the man City fans, You're a man City guy.

Speaker 4 8:15

I am. Claudio Rainier was on the team for a little. It was USA, all the way Shout out to Claudio. Yeah, it was good.

Speaker 1 8:27

Well, I love.

Speaker 4 8:30

We gotta love other things too. We love music, we love sports, we love it all here. We love Britpop.

Speaker 2 8:35

I love Oasis. I love this album, man, but hopefully you do too over time. Mark Coyle is the. They had one guy named Bachelor, I think that was the original producer. Then Mark Coyle, I think, worked with Noel. They refined it, you know, ready for their release on August 29th of 94. I think he was a pivotal guy in this too.

Speaker 4 9:07

Sawmill Studio, cornwall. Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 9:12

That was the where the re-recording it was. I think they had like a first recording and then it just didn't sound well. Then they brought in Mark Coyle.

Speaker 4 9:21

It was a different room.

Speaker 2 9:23

Yeah.

Speaker 4 9:24

There's some different room or something.

Speaker 2 9:26

Yeah.

Speaker 4 9:27

It wasn't the best room.

Speaker 2 9:30

Well, obviously it was. It must have been a hell of a room afterwards. Yeah, it was. And Sawmill, I mean Sawmill Studio. You can't go wrong, Mary.

Speaker 4 9:40

Yeah, I mean I know Wonderwall, I mean I know Super Sonic. I'm not as turned on to Oasis, as other bands we've done, but I'm going in pretty cold on this one. But my taste will evolve as we listen together. Okay, well, let's hope for that. Definitely Maybe.

Speaker 2 10:06

All right.

Speaker 4 10:07

Yeah, maybe I'll love it.

Very subtly, You'll start to hear a little bit of food vibes. Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 11:57

Speaker 2 11:59

But later food vibes. I think food vibes will influence by the sound.

Speaker 4 12:03

And some blue album, weezer maybe. Yeah, weezer too, we'll get into that. All right, okay, I'm digging this. Oh yeah, I mean, they're kind of admitting that they want to be rock and roll stars, while this is their debut album and this is the first song. That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 12:50

Yeah, they're setting the stage. They're saying that we are, this is who we are. They're rockin'.

Speaker 1 12:59

They're doing it. You know the fame and money.

Yeah, I hope Bonehead. Yeah, Advanced, you know past this. Yeah, bonehead, at least an apartment.

Speaker 4 13:17

Did Bonehead stand the test of time in this band, or did he get nixed? Did he spontaneously combust?

Speaker 2 13:22

No, no, no. Yeah, we have a drummer too. Well he know. The drummer just got booted after this album.

Speaker 5 13:28

Speaker 4 15:55

It's one louder, it's one louder.

Speaker 2 16:02

I could have done without that last 20 seconds, but nevertheless it was good.

Speaker 4 16:06

I think it's trippy here.

Speaker 2 16:14

I like that. Actually, the trippiness ends up pretty good.

Speaker 4 16:17

I kind of like it. I always liked the outros. You do, don't you the long extended outros.

Speaker 2 16:22

There you go. Good yeah, I mean there's a lot of barbershop rock on this. I mean you know, I think that's what you sort of poo poo and I get it, but this is Shaker Maker.

Speaker 4 18:51

Yeah, there's no finger shredding rippers on this. Yeah, but that's fine.

Speaker 2 18:58

And this song.

Speaker 4 19:01

You know they do a good job of having that dip in the song.

Speaker 2 19:24

It kind of goes down and then up.

Speaker 1 19:30

Smoothly and safe.

Speaker 2 19:37

It's kind of going from psychedelia to blues.

Speaker 4 19:41

Yeah, you can't just.

Speaker 2 19:43

I kind of did.

Speaker 4 19:45

Yeah.

Speaker 1 19:47

Baby, baby.

Speaker 4 21:00

They let the guitar resonate. Really well, I think so.

Speaker 2 21:05

Yeah, it's a little bit more echo-y. I think maybe that was what they did in the beat. I think that was an element that was added to make the room sound more full.

Speaker 6 21:17

Baby, baby, baby, baby baby.

Speaker 4 21:21

Last verse of the song written by Noel in a taxi on the way to record the album or the song. What else?

What else on this one? We have some other things.

Speaker 2 21:38

Oh, on this song.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's much like the 1971 New Seekers song. I like to teach the world to sing, which features was featured in a famous Coke commercial.

Speaker 2 21:52

Oh yeah, it kind of does borrow from that a little bit, doesn't it?

Speaker 4 21:55

Yeah, no way. Sis. Tribute band. I like to teach the whole world to sing in perfect harmony, but the band were forced to change the lyrics to I'd like to be someone else and not know where I've been.

Speaker 2 37:57

They're just yeah, exactly, they're just sort of in a groove. That's really what it's about. It's not I'm trying to expand the curvature of music or anything like that.

Speaker 4 38:05

We don't claim to be well, they do in the same way they kind of do, so it's like it's way better than the in spiral carpets, which was. There's nothing with the band 93 band with their producer, dave bachelor, right where where Noel was a rowdy.

Speaker 2 38:28

Oh yeah, that's right Um.

Speaker 6 38:32

Calm down. Please Don't get so mad. I can explain Okay.

Speaker 2 38:38

Speaker 2 38:54

They were gonna do some gigs in Denmark and they were going from you know they were traveling from England to Denmark and I think on the train or on the whatever Wait or the boat yeah, they took it. It was like a cruise sort of type of the thing and they couldn't make it through customs. I guess they got into a fight. There was some sort of a brawl, I think. Yeah, on the, on the boat, and it completely disrupted the dates that they had. And you know, the, the tour people were like super pissed off but the manager was like happy about it because it made worldwide press and it sort of Fed into like a bad boy kind of a oh yeah, a band, and it was like it was Like them getting into a fight game, like instant street cred.

Speaker 2 39:33

So I think that that kind of I guess it was a spark plug for their, their fame and success. Yeah, it was a travel, yeah.

Speaker 4 39:43

Yeah, it was written by Noel, but Liam had a lot of involvement in the song's conception, having created the melody and written the chorus during a jamming session.

Speaker 2 39:57

Yeah, I think that was sort of like their writing process, one with going to the other.

Speaker 4 40:01

Yeah, sort of jam and then figure it out. After that write some lyrics on a napkin in the airport.

Speaker 2 40:12

Now this song I think they wrote spontaneously, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, but a lot of rhyming. I feel the super sonic giving you a ton of time. You can have it all, but how much you want it? You're probably like playing with each other back and forth.

Speaker 4 40:33

This is a hit right.

Speaker 2 40:34

Yeah, this is the second biggest hit, aside from Deth uh Lip-Ret.

Speaker 4 40:44

Yeah, everybody knows Wonderwall, but these songs are so much better than Wonderwall.

Speaker 2 40:47

I think so, yeah, plus, I was underwhelmed by Wonderwall.

Speaker 4 40:50

Yeah, that's not even like their forte. Is that soft kind of song they pulled it off on that? Yeah, oh little Beatles reference.

Speaker 2 41:07

Yeah totally. Yeah, this is when music was fun. It was just, yeah, I tried it.

Speaker 4 41:26

Little nonsensical.

Speaker 2 41:28

Yeah, it's just playful, it's a, it's a mood, it creates a mood, it does For the party later, you know, at the the Kegger. Yeah, the other side of the quad.

Speaker 6 41:44

Hi, oh, hello, hello.

Speaker 3 41:49

You take the plate, leave out your shirt.

Speaker 6 41:52

It's very hurt today.

Speaker 3 41:56

Wait, I saw Willow, hello, hello.

Speaker 4 42:04

Into Alka Seltzer man. I know a girl named Elsa. She's hooked on Alka Seltzer.

Speaker 2 42:29

Yeah, Alka Seltzer. Code for something that looks like Alka Seltzer.

Speaker 4 42:36

Isn't it good for a hangover or something?

Speaker 5 42:39

Isn't.

Speaker 4 42:40

I don't know.

Speaker 2 42:42

She sniffs it through a cane at a super sound train. Wow.

Speaker 4 42:47

Sniffing in her tissue selling. The big issue. Shout out to Anthony Griffiths on backing vocals.

Speaker 5 42:55

Oh nice.

Speaker 4 43:01

No, galgar Oasis' first three albums lost in hard drugs.

Speaker 2 43:08

Oh yeah, I think that they were on meth or something before the Whisky a Go-Go show Early on in their North American tour. Support this album. They're like all completely off.

Speaker 4 43:21

So before 1997, I hadn't written a song without the aid of the old Colombian marching gear. Don't forget, I was on drugs before I was even in a band.

Speaker 2 43:36

Who's that, liam or Noel?

Speaker 4 43:38

Noel. So that's why they're so good, and that pisses me off. I think Maybe I should get back into taking drugs, and then it would be brilliant again.

Speaker 2 43:56

Well, I mean, if you're feeling super good, you know you're probably like what do I want to hear when I'm in this state of euphoria? And so you sort of you write your music to Taylor, specifically to how you want to coincide while you're on those drugs.

Speaker 4 44:18

And then your soul is like you'll be back today.

Speaker 5 44:22

You get your butt back here, thelma, now, god damn it.

Speaker 4 44:28

Stop doing those drugs, damn it. Well, I mean, there is a song for each state of mind and you know, substances alter that state of mind and when you're like hello, Hello, hello, hello, yeah, Hello, you know thanks, champ, maybe, yeah, don't sit in this couple plays.

Speaker 2 44:58

Okay, now you can sit the next.

Speaker 4 45:07

Not a hit right, not a hit, okay.

Speaker 2 45:19

Hey Joe's are not bad. Are they off or? Something, no I don't know why do they have a cannon?

Speaker 4 45:24

Maybe they just don't like him. This is about the uninvited guests who turn up at parties and no one likes, but everyone knows, and then they stay till the end. Oh, interesting, okay, is that guy Noel sometimes? Well, the drugs, he's a. You're the outcasts, you're the underclass.

Speaker 4 46:15

As you're living fast uninvited guests stays till the end. And For my part, all these songs have a political undercurrent in a reel because I was just writing them from the heart. I Don't sit down and think politics, let's get to the bones of this shit. But that at that point I was unemployed in a rented accommodation.

Speaker 2 46:51

Who is that nor?

Speaker 4 46:52

no, yeah, rented a combination Trying to make it in the world, living from one week to the next, not knowing if you're gonna have enough money for pizza, if you're in a political situation and you don't even realize it because this is the battleground, that is the essence of politics a combination, food and trying to make a living oh, I love that.

Speaker 2 47:27

Or, as my college another way of saying it yeah, it's about agreeing on shared resources.

Speaker 4 47:31

You know well, my college professor called politics the study of who gets what and why.

Speaker 2 47:38

Yeah, Okay, yeah that's good. That's just the truth.

Speaker 4 47:51

I'll be scraping our life from the soul of my shoe tonight. Dang this one's freakin good, yeah, great solo. Put on the kettle dammit.

Speaker 2 48:24

No, no, it was an underrated.

Speaker 4 48:32

I mean, he lets it ride on this one. This is.

Speaker 2 48:40

I hear a little bit of, I get a feeling of cheap trick okay. They're sort of like that. They're a fun band and they're like about partying but also Having something to say on a primal level, you know oh.

Speaker 4 49:03

These are going on my running playlists. Now this is good Gotta. Sort out the old hammy. Sort out the old hammy there, run faster.

Speaker 2 49:17

All right, this is cigarettes and alcohol, and this was released as a single. I think it was somewhat of a hit, so we won't. This is an exclusion.

My previous record holder, frank Sinatra my way, broke the UK's top 75 for 10th time December 1996. Eating Frank Sinatra is my way, gotcha Okay. Good guitar interplay there. Oh, and it's doing some stuff. No, told Q. The theme was let's have. It was the main ethos. All the songs are about leaving Manchester, ending up in the sunshine, taking drugs and drinking for the rest of your life.

Speaker 2 51:52

Okay the song specifically or the whole album.

Speaker 4 51:55

Yeah, about escapism Applying in one hand your best mate in the other and just having a good time.

Speaker 2 52:01

Yeah, that's that. Yeah, I like that, that's, that's true.

Speaker 4 52:07

So well, no, but later in life they, they had a feud.

Speaker 4 52:52

When Erling Holland it opens up, sees a clear line of gold, just have it, son have it. I think Phil Foden's a little too young to Sribles in this album, maybe. Yeah, just a little this is just born around this time. Bangin in, banging in those goals. Philly, right wing right now Could be playing center mid for for England, you never know. Okay, southgate out, southgate out.
