The early 90s were the heyday for Britpop, with Oasis and Blur leading the charge. I already covered Oasis’ classic What’s the Story (Morning Glory)? so now it’s time to highlight the album with which it competed for the Britpop title in 1995.
In August of ’95, Blur and Oasis went head-to-head, releasing singles on the same day. Today’s SOTD, ‘Country House,’ wound up outselling Oasis’ ‘Roll With It,’ and gave the band their first #1 hit in the UK. Oasis, of course, went on to win the larger battle, as their album became one of the best-selling records in the world.
