    From Wikipedia:

    "(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second studio album by English rock band Oasis. Released on 2 October 1995 by Creation Records, it was produced by Owen Morris and the group's guitarist and main songwriter Noel Gallagher. The structure and arrangement style of the album were a significant departure from the group's previous album Definitely Maybe (1994). Gallagher's compositions were more focused in balladry and placed more emphasis on "huge" choruses, with the string arrangements and more varied instrumentation contrasting with the rawness of the group's debut album."

    Recorded at Rockfield Studios, Wales

    So, what are your favorite tracks?

    I am honestly surprised to see 'She's Electric' with so many votes. I always thought the tune was kind of album filler. Cute, but not best of the best.

    I love She's Electric!

    I like the whole album, but Some Might Say is the real epic here.

    All Killer, no filler, IMHO.

    For Morning Glory and Noel's first High Flying Birds albums, we can be thankful. Absolute songwriting brilliance.

    “Don’t Look Back In Anger” for me.

    Used to great effect in the 1996 TV series, “Our Friends In The North”, which tells the story of 4 friends and changes in their lives and relationships over 31 years. It helped launch the careers of Christopher Eccleston, Daniel Craig, Gina McKee and Mark Strong.

    “Don’t Look Back” was a perfect song to close out the series:



    Oasis are my guilty pleasure, shame about their choice of football team.

    I like the whole album or at least most of it, and I'd like it better if it was remixed or remastered to be not quite so loud, but I voted for only "She's Electric" because it's easily my favorite track on it and the singles won't need my help in a poll.

    There was a 2012 unofficial remaster knocking around years ago, which sounded a lot better than the official release.

    I was hoping (in vain) that the 20th anniversary reissue would finally give us a decent version of the album, but as reported here at the time, it was actually louder.

    Voted for “love em all” cause my list just kept getting longer and longer so I thought sod it. I, like others, have a special place in my heart for “she’s electric“. My youngest son pointed out the subtle but sweet harmonies that I had never heard....now I appreciate all the more.

    Yeah I have always had a problem with the mastering. I have a feeling the sound can't be improved - otherwise it already would have happened.

    I used to love Oasis when i was growing up, but no so much these days. Once i discovered Hendrix, Dylan, etc, i began to see through Oasis a bit. Saying that though this is still a great album for it's time, so i've chosen love em all.

    I can't stand almost all this album now. It was unavoidable in the mid 90s UK. Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger always have been to some extent. At the time I thought it a good album at best, but a bit dull compared to Definitely Maybe. Some Might Say is still great and possibly the only track I could still enjoy. Hey Now is the often overlooked good album track.

    I love so many of the outtakes/b-sides even more than the songs that made the album: “Acquiesce”, “Talk Tonight”, “It’s Better People”, “Round Are Way”, “Step Out”, “The Masterplan”. That’s half of a classic album right there!

    there is enough b-sides to make a nice 3 cd set. They should have done a Masterplan 2 & 3 or something.
    Or after breaking up just putting everything else possible on a few released or box set or something...glad i bought
    all of the cd single imports to get all of those b-sides so i can have them!

    Some Might Say is one of those tunes that has never left my brain since I first heard it.
