Gotta Give Credit Where Credit's Due

Yes, yes, the Gallagher brothers are argumentative louts, jerks, wouldn't want to meet them... But I recently bought the Oasis album, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" for under US$10 at a local music shop.

All the British music media hype about Oasis being the next Beatles was an exaggeration. But this was a damn fine album. Even in the US, we heard Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova on the rock radio stations. (Back when there were rock stations.) But hearing them and the whole album again just reinforces how damn good it really was. Heck, my favorite song on the album is one (She's Electric) that I'd never even heard before.

There's a reason this was one of the top three selling albums of all time in Britain.
