Discovered and signed by Creator Records founder Alan McGee, Oasis went on to become one of the most successful bands to emerge from the U.K., amassing eight No. 1 album, including all seven studio recordings. Definitely Maybe, with its top 40 hits “Supersonic,” “Shakermaker,” Cigarettes & Alcohol,” and the all-time classic “Live Forever,” was the album that started it all.
By the time Oasis dropped their third album, Be Here Now, the band was virtually untouchable in their homeland. That album broke sales records following its release in 1997, shifting 696,000 units in just three days, and 813,000 across its first full week.
