January continues to be a slow month — this is only my second and last review of the month. Indeed, this week's album wasn't even released in January, 1996. (What's the Story) Morning Glory, was released in October 1995, and took over three months to break into the top ten, and only barely at #9. Oasis is the best known member of the Britpop genre.
Thinking back, I am sure I was aware of Oasis, and the songs on Morning Glory in late 1995 and 1996, but it wasn't my favorite. I didn't dislike it, but I don't think I chose to listen to it, and only heard the songs on the radio. Thinking back even more, I didn't listen to that much Oasis until I spent time in college with someone who was a huge fan (hi Olivia, I'm sure you're not reading this, but I hope you're well!). Since then I've come to like Oasis more, including, and in particular, Morning Glory. It's a very good album and deserves to be listened to. I suggest you do.
