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 Mc Guigan Paul Arthurs and Tony Mc Carroll. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Oasis Definitely Maybe\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Niven Alex\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781623564230\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 144 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/8\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Individual Composers \u0026amp; Musicians, Specific Bands \u0026amp; Groups","brand":"Niven Alex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51335840989489,"sku":"IN-G-9781623564230","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781623564230.jpg?v=1746961226","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781623564230-oasis-definitely-maybe","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
