Oasis, one of the most influential British rock bands of the 1990s and 2000s, was formed in Manchester, England, in 1991. Originally called The Rain, the group was renamed after Liam Gallagher joined as lead vocalist. His brother Noel Gallagher became the band’s primary songwriter and lead guitarist, solidifying their lineup with Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs on rhythm guitar, Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan on bass, and Tony McCarroll on drums.
The band’s debut album, Definitely Maybe (1994), became the fastest-selling debut album in the UK at the time, spearheaded by iconic tracks like “Live Forever” and “Supersonic.” Their follow-up, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), catapulted them to global stardom, featuring anthems like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” Oasis released seven studio albums in total, including Be Here Now (1997), Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000), Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don’t Believe the Truth (2005), and Dig Out Your Soul (2008).
The band won numerous awards, including Brit Awards and NME Awards, and was known for their rivalry with Blur, which marked the “Britpop” era. Despite internal tensions and public feuds, Oasis sold over 70 million records worldwide. They disbanded in 2009 following Noel Gallagher’s departure. Their influence endures through their timeless music and the continued solo careers of both Noel and Liam Gallagher.
