Thank You For The Good TimesOasis
Oasis is a special band.
They had a presence that seemed to absorb all the dissatisfaction drifting across the UK in the ’90s.
This song is packed with the matured musicality of Oasis’s later period.
They formed in Manchester, England in 1991 and disbanded in 2009.
As standard-bearers of the Britpop movement who carried on the tradition of classic British rock from bands like The Beatles and The Who, they are a beloved, national rock band of the UK.
Thank UAlanis Morissette
This song is about spiritual awakening and personal growth.
Inspired by Alanis Morissette’s journey in India, it was released in 1998 and samples Sly & the Family Stone’s 1968 track “Sing a Simple Song.”
