Oasis crawled out of Manchester in 1991 and lasted until 2009 by some miracle and racked up seven big players on their roll of immortal rock'n'roll honor. Cigarettes & Alcohol bled off their debut album Definitely Maybe (1994, the fastest selling debut album of all time in the UK and voted by NME readers in 2006 the greatest album of all time). Cigarettes & Alcohol is an anthem. Pitchfork called, “cocky, muscular, and uptempo.”
