Rutherford: Many words have been written about this band over the past decade and only a small portion has been about the music. Which is a pity because during the early part of their career they produced some classic moments, most of which can be found here. There is a swagger and defiance about the way Oasis went about their business and whether it was the cocky exclamations of "Rock 'N' Roll Star" or the plaintive ballad "Live Forever" it always had a definite "British" attitude.

O'Sullivan: Anyone who says that Morning Glory is a better album is a cretin and a loser. Okay, so that's perhaps a tad harsh, but that sentiment of Oasis' sophomore album being their finest work has always annoyed me. This was their peak, and the start of their superstardom in Europe. Commercially, it didn't hit as hard as Morning Glory, but that's beyond irrelevant. Creatively, this was gold. Indie rock and roll at its finest. "Cigarettes and Alcohol", "Live Forever", "Slide Away"……pure class.

Tollah: The album that grabbed Britpop by the scruff of the neck and made it something. A true classic. The lyrics are meaningless for the most part and the musicianship is nothing special at all (kind of like Nirvana), but (unlike Nirvana) this album has so much raw energy and attitude that it just mesmerised all of us teenagers growing up in Britain in the mid-90s
