As soon as we heard that glorious and euphoric opening riff from Rock 'n' Roll Star, music would never be the same. Yet again, Manchester was the centre of the musical world as Definitely Maybe became the fastest selling debut album of all time in the UK, it went on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide.
What's the Story Morning Glory? Speaking with Rolling Stone, Noel said "Whilst [Definitely Maybe] is about dreaming of being a pop star in a band, What's the Story is about actually being a pop star in a band. On a musical note, during the recording process Noel changed Oasis' sound by putting an emphasis on ballads and choruses while the string arrangements on tracks like like Don't Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova are still incredible to hear. WTSMG isn't the best album that you'll ever hear, but it's easily one of the most important for a certain generation.
On a wonderful record, it's arguable that Champagne Supernova is the standout track because as any fan of the band will know, it's those quieter, softer and more introspective moments that really resonate the most. Yes, the bravado, swagger and pomp of Liam and Noel was always clear, but there's also a far more soulful and pensive side to the band on tracks like Talk Tonight, Don't Go Away, The Masterplan and Half the World Away.
This is never more clear than on Champagne Supernova. If you saw the superb documentary Supersonic, you probably marveled at the scene when Liam Gallagher was laying down the vocals on Champagne Supernova.

It's impossible not to love how the strings and cymbals rush in to fill the space that the guitars create - FYI, Paul Weller provided lead guitar and backing vocals here. It's somewhat fitting that "Champagne Supernova" was the last original song that Oasis performed live together.
In my opinion, it's the best track from an iconic album and one of their very best. And then I couldn't think of anything that rhymed with 'hall' apart from 'cannonball'. Here's an episode from the series Chigley - Brackett begins his slow walk down the hall at 6. It still rankles with Noel Gallagher today that the random inspirations behind Champagne Supernova aren't appreciated more by music critics. And I went, 'What do you mean by that? Noel replied: "I don't know.
But are you telling me, when you've got 60, people singing it, they don't know what it means? It means something different to every one of them. Champagne Supernova. What a song. Noel first played us this on the back lounge of the tour bus in the USA on acoustic. I cried. As for Bonehead , Champagne Supernova still makes him cry. Pure stress," before adding: "I can cry to order you know. See more More on Oasis.
