Oasis Definitely Maybe - 33 1/3 Book

Oasis Definitely Maybe - 33 1/3 Book A brilliant study of Oasis' debut album, highlighting the band's massive cultural impact and the raw, positive power of those early songs. Oasis's incendiary 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe managed to summarize almost the entire history of post-fifties guitar music from Chuck Berry to My Bloody Valentine in a way that seemed effortless. But this remarkable album was also a social document that came closer to narrating the collective hopes and dreams of a people than any other record of the last quarter century. In a Britain that had just undergone the most damaging period of social upheaval in a century under the Thatcher government, Noel Gallagher ventriloquized slogans of burning communitarian optimism through the mouth of his brother Liam and the playing of Oasis. On Definitely Maybe, Oasis communicated a timeworn message of idealism and hope against the odds. Alex Niven charts the astonishing rise of Oasis in the mid 1990s and celebrates the life-affirming, communal force of songs such as “Live Forever,” “Supersonic,” and “Cigarettes & Alcohol.” Softcover, 6 x 5 in. 144 pgs Books been lightly read & a must have, condition as pictured Book | Music | Alternative | Britop | Rock
