He went on to explain that if they had only made their debut album, the former Oasis chief would have been as happy as he is now. Gallagher added: “I guess it’s the definitive Oasis album. It has the spirit, the arrogance of youth.
Teenage anthems. It’s live – no bullshit. If we’d made only that album, then I’d still be as happy as I am now.

But at that time it was just a good album – nothing more, nothing less. It’s only through time that it has become what it is now.
” Gallagher admitted that it is a “mystery” how they made such a great record because they had no idea.
