I haven't done a music post for a while but the hubby recently reminded me that it was 20 years (at the end of August) since Oasis released Definitely Maybe - and it got the musical cogs going! 20 years though ...! Where has the time gone ...?!
Cigarettes and Alcohol is my favourite tune from the album ... it's laid back, raw and earthy and reminds me of many a night out back in the 90s, staggering around on a smoke filled dance floor ... bet we've all done that at some stage or other ... well ... the older ones will remember the smoke at any rate!
Remember the Blur/Oasis thing back then? The hubby and I were always on the Oasis side - just appealed to our taste in music and only Song 2 later on from Blur came anywhere close (for us anyway!) to hitting the spot!
I do miss those hazy days of cigarettes and alcohol sometimes! Which tune brings back hazy memories (of staggering around) for you? And which side did you sway towards - Blur or Oasis?

Absolute classic album - not one bad song on the Album. My favourite is the under-rated Columbia closely followed by this. Oasis beat Blur hands down I.m.o
ReplyDeleteWe're in agreement! :)
DeleteOasis for me too! Twenty years - blimey I can't believe it! x
ReplyDeleteI know Sharron - scary eh! xx
DeleteLove this album, reminds me of when me & hubby were first together!! Definitely team Oasis!! ;) x
ReplyDeleteMemories Sarah - reminds me of the same too! xx
DeleteOh my god. this reminded me of my first trip to the UK with school and my penpal (how retro) made me a mixtape which had Oasis on one side and Blur on the other and he was saying to me how controversial it was!xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Gaelle and yes how retro! xx
Delete20 YEARS?! Oh my days. I was always a fan of both but I think Oasis tipped it slightly. But seriously, 20 YEARS?! x
ReplyDeleteYep 20 years Sam - seriously! xx
DeleteOh god Oasis definitely!! I was living in Notting Hill at the time and remember it vividly - we had a fancy 5 disc cd changer and rotated this and park Life ad nauseum. I remember seeing Oasis eating fish and chips in the Landmark hotel and being awed and then seeing Damon Albarn in pub in Camden and not knowing really who he was:!
ReplyDeleteHa I remember those disc changer things! Good grief Joanna you were rubbing shoulders with the lot of them! xx
DeleteNo ..... 20 years ...... Remember it like yesterday. Oasis all the way for me after seeing them in Lock Lomand in 96 I think .... 20 years.... Dear me! x
ReplyDeleteI know Annmarie - it's bad isn't it - the 20 year thingy! xx
DeleteOh my god, I cant believe that was twenty years ago........Very scary. But of course we don't look a day older do we!!? Helen xx
ReplyDeleteOf course we don't Helen! xx
DeleteDon't shoot me, I'm not a fan!! Always loyal to my Sheffiels bands I am but hopefully one day I'll discuss this with you over a coffee xx
ReplyDeleteOh Donna! You're on for coffee! xx
DeleteOasis till the end! My son is only 7 but is a huge fan! Their music will never age! Blur didn't stand a chance did they?! Ax
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have put it better myself Andrea! xx
Delete20 years??? I was at uni then so it brings back fond memories of boozy nights listening to Oasis! Lynne x
