Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Here are some soul-stirring masterpieces by Oasis, the rock band that Britain proudly claims.

With the commanding vocals and melodies crafted by the distinctive Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, paired with lyrics that resonate deeply.

Their songs—singing of life’s joys and hopes, love and loneliness, and at times even brotherly love—continue to captivate hearts across generations.

It’s a song that still gets played on TV and radio and is a staple at live shows.

The strength of the melody really stands out, and I think it’s the best track to recommend to someone listening to Oasis for the first time.

It fully showcases the quality of Liam’s early vocals.

Although it was a relatively low-key single, they performed this song live on a popular news program at the time.

The lyrics suggested a revival, and their outfit—denim jacket and jeans—and cooler hairstyle inspired many to copy the fashion.

When they came to Japan, I went to their concert.

They are a band that epitomized UK rock in the 1990s and 2000s.

The Gallagher brothers, the core members of the band, are also well known for their poor relationship, frequently becoming tabloid fodder and repeatedly facing break-up crises.

Currently, the older brother, Noel, has left the band, and they are effectively disbanded.

The artwork for Oasis—a band led by the Gallagher brothers, Liam, a charismatic vocalist, and Noel, a genius songwriter, and arguably the strongest rock band to come out of the UK in the 1990s—is, contrary to their wild image, remarkably British and stylish, whether for albums or EPs.

The album cover for their legendary debut, Definitely Maybe—an iconic piece in British rock history—features a photo shot in the living room of early member and guitarist Bonehead’s house, and it’s impossibly cool and slick.

The cover, which exudes the vibe of the band lazily spending a quiet afternoon, includes photos of the great composer Burt Bacharach and Rodney Marsh, known as a Manchester City player; an Epiphone guitar in the back of the room; and on the TV, the young Clint Eastwood classic For a Few Dollars More—details that convey their tastes.

There are also touches of brilliance like a spinning globe and casually placed glasses, which evoke various images.

By the way, Liam’s reclining pose has a specific meaning too, so if you’re curious, it’s fun to look it up.
