Oasis rose to fame in the 1990s as the swaggering heart of the Britpop movement, led by the eternally feuding Gallagher brothers—Noel and Liam. Hailing from Manchester, the band blended classic rock influences with working-class attitude, creating anthems that felt both nostalgic and rebellious. Their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe turned heads, but it was 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? that made them global icons. Known for their blend of Beatles-esque melodies, wall-of-sound guitars, and tabloid-ready drama, Oasis captured the sound of a generation tired of grunge and ready to sing loudly in the pub.
“Don’t Look Back in Anger” is one of Oasis’ most beloved tracks, written and sung by Noel Gallagher. Released in 1996, it’s part rock ballad, part spiritual pep talk, wrapped in a melody that practically demands a stadium sing-along. The song channels John Lennon both lyrically and musically, even name-dropping “Sally” in a line that sounds like it could’ve come straight from Imagine. But what makes it iconic is its message: letting go of resentment and finding strength in moving forward. Over time, it’s become more than just a hit—it’s an anthem of resilience, often sung by crowds in moments of unity, grief, or defiance. It’s loud, raw, and somehow comforting—like a drunken group hug at the end of a long night.
