As I live and breathe, has it really been 25 years since Oasis unleashed the classic Definitely Maybe?!
I can still remember the first time I heard “Live Forever” late one night as the music video unexpectedly burst onto my television screen. My reaction was strong and immediate. Little did I know that I had just witnessed the new rebirth of Britpop, nor did it prepare me for the Gallagher brothers’ infamous sibling rivalry sideshow that still continues today.
Liam and Noel Gallagher led Oasis to the top of the charts with amped up guitar riffs and irresistible hooks. Oasis’ debut album was armed with a stack of heavy hitting anthems including: “Supersonic,” “Shakermaker,” “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” plus the now legendary “Live Forever,” all of which helped Oasis become ‘The Greatest Band on Earth’ in the mid-1990s.
Now, 25 years to the day of its original release, people most definitely look back upon Oasis’ seminal debut with high regards. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Definitely Maybe has been released as a commemorative picture disc and limited-edition silver colored double LP. Definitely Maybe will surely live on forever as new generations will indubitably look back in wonder at the legendary legacy Oasis left behind. There’s no maybe about it.
