Oasis had enjoyed a monumental 12 months as winter turned to spring in 1995 but the Britpop titans weren’t done yet. Far from it. This was a band whose songwriter and chief Noel Gallagher was in the midst of a generational purple patch, knocking out classic anthems left, right and centre and things were about to get supernova for the boys from Burnage.
Their era-defining debut Definitely Maybe had only been released a matter of months before but they were already pushing on. The orchestral-tinged euphoria of Whatever, released as a standalone single in December 1994, had demonstrated that and next came the song that put them at the top of the UK single charts for the first time. Released 30 years ago next month, Some Might Say marked the beginning of a period where Oasis turned from thrilling rock’n’roll band into cultural phenomenon, the first cut from their world-conquering second album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.
