10 Songs You Know From The First SECOND

As the '90s started to turn a corner, there was no one really flying the flag for rock and roll anymore. While grunge may have been the firm launchpad for the decade, it seemed that the heart of rock had been lost in the shuffle once the sounds of Seattle fell by the wayside. The fight for rock's throne may have begun, but Oasis ended up becoming the undisputed leaders in a matter of seconds.

Arriving like a bolt of lightning, the Manchester mainstays' album Definitely Maybe comes roaring to life on Rock and Roll Star, with some of the fuzziest lead guitar tones to be found in Britpop. Masterminded by the brick-walling mindset of Owen Morris, the subtle guitar bend from Noel Gallagher is what sets the tone for the rest of the record, before breathing new life into the traditional rock and roll power chords we'd all forgotten existed.

And that's just a drop in the bucket for this album, as the rest of the band stand firmly behind the Gallagher Brothers in their bid to be the greatest band in the world. The tides may have been shifting away from the grunge scene, but once this song kicked into high gear, you knew that the musical landscape wasn't going to be the same again.
