The album that made five common lads millionaires. (What’s the story) morning glory? is a must have in any CD collection what ever your taste in music is. The contrast in the songs wonderwall and roll with it make it likable to all types of music fans. At the top of the britpop scene oasis outsold nearest rivals blur by almost three to one on some things and this album shows why. Noels vocal presence on Don look back in anger shows what is the most ... ...first number one single, Some might say, is another highlight of the album. Not a bad song on it, no I mean not even an average song on it as everything is excellent even including the strange untitled tracks. Also worth picking up on vinyl as it contains the extra track of Boneheads bank holiday. Tracks to give a good listen all the way through good for any mood and you will sit back and think wow! ...

Advantages: Great Music Disadvantages: Wonderwall didnt get to number 1
I fell in love with Oasis when there first album came out Definitely Maybe come out. I was young at the time to actually understand anything about music but now I do, I know that they have got to be the best indie group ever. Everyone says that the sequel/follow up album can never beat the first album but this one did. (Whats the Story) Morning Glory is a blooming great album, the lyrics are beyond amazing, its like Jesus preaching at the last supper. ...

Advantages: Its brilliant, a classic Disadvantages: NONE!!!
This album is a classic. Noel Gallaagher is a pure genius at songwriting. This is Oasis at their best, the time when they are over their first album and generally dont give a damn about life. The standout songs are Dont look back in anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Some Might Say. All of these songs are great and are favourites of any Oasis fan. If this album isnt in your collection go get it. It may only have 10 proper songs on it, but ...

Advantages: The second amazing release from the Gallagher brothers,an insight of what it feels like to be known as the bo**ox. Disadvantages: What disadvantages
This is the follow on album for the lads(Liam&Noel)from Manchester,after the amazing success of their first album,the band,the press and there record company had given high praise for there new album...and boy they diddnt let us down.
So you havent heard it yet huuh,well what can i say but,this album is once again full with clasic rock songs such as the sublime WONDERWALL,DONT LOOK BACK IN ANGER and of coarse the song which i think really stirred ... ...as Liam Gallagher=Lead vocals Noel Gallagher=Lead guitar and backing vocals Paul Arthurs=Rhythm guitar Paul McGuigan=The bas player and last but not quite least Alan White=Drums and percussion.
Putting the album on for the first time(your so lucky if you aint heard it yet)you will straight away find yourself overcome with this feeling of superiority and coolness,as well as developing this swagger as you walk. ...

Advantages: Just great Disadvantages: Shame Oasis don't make songs like this anymore!
"Morning Glory" is the album I always wanted to get, but never actually got round to it. I knew all the tracks already, but it was the one missing from my collection...
I only bought it this summer, and it's never left my CD player! It is timeless, I've listened to it so many times and never got bored of it. All of the tracks couldn't be better, they're just perfect; some people said that some of the tracks were a bit ropey, but I don't think that ... ...am influenced by the fact that each of the songs reminds me of a particular memory; every time I hear one of the tracks I am taken back to a different place in time, which I think adds to its value. It's not just me though, other people have said that this album has the same effect.
The only bad thing I can say about this is it's a shame Oasis don't produce songs like these anymore! ...

Advantages: Great sound from a great year of music Disadvantages: NONE
This is without a shadow of a doubt the best album I own, or have ever heard, and that's a lot. Every song on here could have been a single. This phrase is branded about a lot, but it's true for the album that defines the 90's.
1) Hello - Fantastic opener, gets you set for the classics to follow. 8/10
2) Roll With It - Classic rock 'n' roll song, everyone knows it, 'nuff said. 9/10
3) Wonderwall - Best song on the album, all time classic, perfect. ... ...this song on full volume on a building site and see the results. 10/10
5) Hey Now! - Weakest song on the album, but it's very catchy. 8/10
6) Track 6 - Sample of The Swamp Song from The Masterplan album. Bit pointless, feels like an interlude for the second half.
7) Some Might Say - The band's first No 1 single, and rightly so. An absolute gem. 10/10
8) Cast No Shadow - Written with Richard Ashcroft in mind, a very good song, catchy. 8/10
9) ...

Advantages: Essence of brit pop Disadvantages: None
What's the story? has become a household name.Even though the tendancy is to slag Oasis off, no one can admit that this album was not a great piece of music history.
Since 1995 and the battle of Brit Pop with Blur i have been engrossed in Oasis's talent in general. In this album you see how versitile and intelligent Oasis really are.
Everyone knows Wonderwall, but how about She's Electric, and Champagne Supernova.They are magical underated songs, ...

Advantages: One of the greatest albums of all time Disadvantages: They could of made it longer
What’s the story morning glory? Is the second album by Oasis. It includes the 1995 single of the year ‘Wonderwall’ and the bands first number one ’Some might say’ as well as their best track ‘Don’t look back in anger’ which combined with ‘Wonderwall’ makes up for the best back to back tracks on any album which I have heard. But it’s the quality of morning glory which makes it one of the most complete albums of the mid 90’s. And which made Oasis the ...

Advantages: good song after good song Disadvantages: possibly "cast no shadow"
C'mon everyone and their dog has heard this album, haven't they? well just in case not, here goes, track by track:-
1. Hello - good opener, dont turn the volume up at the beginning though - its not wonderwall! - 6/10
2. Roll with it - Brit-Pop battle loser to country house. its a better song but i guess it didnt seem it at the time. - 8/10
3. Wonderwall - What's left to say about this song, fantastic. 10/10
4 Dont look back in anger - again this ... ...on the album but listenable. probably should have shortened it a bit. - 5/10.
6 Part swap song - good to break the album up - unrateable.
7 Some might say - Their 1st number one. and didnt they deserve it? - 8/10
8 Cast no shadow - my least favorite, but some of my mates think it is one of their best, so where does that leave me? - 4/10
9 Shes electric - Great song, gets you tapping you foot in any instance - 9/10
10 Morning Glory - Good title ...

This is a must have album for any music fan. This is brit pop at its best for sure. Its full of hits, theres not one bad song on it. The first time i heard it was at my Dads house and after that i was hooked. Then i went out 'Definetly Maybe' their first album which is my personal favourite album. Also i bought the 4 singles from this album and the B-sides are just as good as the A-Sides, and how many bands can honestly say that? The only personal ...

OMG how can an album like this be topped, well in m oppinion there is only one album that ever topped this and that was deffinatly maybe, oasis are a groundbreaking british rock band that have been making songs that will inspire you and motivate you for well over 10 years, personally for me oasis is not all about money, looking good and being a major celebrity, oasis is music for the people, poor lower class lads that set out to become the biggest ... ...and help them in life, love and contemplating on hard times, many times in my life have i been upset, angry, sad or lonely and i put on this CD and lay on my bed and took in all the words that flow from Noel gallaghers pen and roll off Liam gallaghers lips and instantly found inner peace ...

Throughout the time oasis have fought their way into the charts, and the tabloids, this album has remaine the best from them. I bought it not long after it came out and found it extremely listenable. It is the album that includes the most memorable of their songs such as "Don't look back in anger", "wonderwall", "roll with it", and "whats the story morning glory". This album includes some of the best lyrics I have ever heard, mainly those from "Dont ... ...ever wrote. This album has been overtaken by other titles such as "Be Here Now", but I personally feel that this is their best album. It was written back in the days Oasis were at war with Colchester boys "Blur" who also had a hit album, and held the number 1 spot with Parklife and House in the country. This is the only album from Oasis I have bought and feel it is worth buying! ...
