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 the other Oasis 'everymen': Paul McGuigan, Paul Arthurs and Tony McCarroll. On Definitely Maybe, Oasis communicated a timeworn message of idealism and hope against the odds, but one that had special resonance in a society where the widening gap between high and low demanded a newly superhuman kind of leaping.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 \u0026amp; Alcohol.\" In doing so, he seeks to reposition Oasis in relation to their Britpop peers and explore one of the most controversial pop-cultural narratives of the last thirty years.About the AuthorAlex Niven is a writer from the north-east of England. He has written for publications such as The Guardian, LA Review of Books and The Quietus, and his first book Folk Opposition was published in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67979237327136,"sku":"USED1623564239","price":15.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71BWwvi7L0L_07aa4f11-ddb4-49ad-b993-3bf4e8fee8cb.jpg?v=1792987669","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/oasis-definitely-maybe-33-13-1623564239-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
