Don't look back in anger (Oasis)


About the band: Oasis were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991 with Liam and Noel Gallagher as the main members. After seven studio albums, the band fell apart in 2009. Oasis have sold over 75 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. Oasis currently have one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.

About the song: the 1995 album (What's the story) Morning glory is a landmark of the nineties. On their second album, the ripping rockers of their successful debut album (Definitely maybe) are replaced by great rock ballads, which gave them hit after hit in the charts. Don't look back in anger is actually the fourth hit single from that album, issued after the runaway success of Wonderwall. Oasis had saved the best for last, they have never sounded better than in this Beatles sound-a-like ballad, with its soaring chorus - even the lyrics echo Lennon: "So I start the revolution from my bed". Run time 4:47.
