1992.]]



Oasis was a British AlternativeRock band strongly associated with the '90s {{Britpop}} movement, along with their archnemeses Music/{{Blur}}. The band was established (initially as The Rain) in 1991 by vocalist Liam Gallagher, guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, bassist Paul "Guigsy" [=McGuigan=] and drummer Tony [=McCarroll=]; to little success, until [[ControlFreak Noel Gallagher]], Liam's older brother, came out of the blue and took total control of the band – which nobody protested, for he and his songs were just that good. Led by the older Gallagher, the band went on to achieve stellar success in the mid-'90s and onward: the zenith being "the Battle of Britpop" with rival band Music/{{Blur}}, and the album ''Music/WhatsTheStoryMorningGlory'' shifting over 4.6m copies in the UK to currently rank as the country's fifth-highest seller ever (third-highest if you discount Greatest Hits albums; Queen Greatest Hits & ABBA Gold taking the 1 & 2 spots). As the Britpop trend died out towards the turn of the millennium, Oasis survived and prospered into the new century: managing in total to produce seven studio albums (all UK Number Ones), go 14 years without missing the Top 5 with a 'proper' single, and ultimately sell over 70 million album copies worldwide. They finally imploded in 2009, after one bust-up too many between the Gallagher brothers led to Noel's departure. Prior to this, they'd also gone through some less terminal lineup changes:

* [=McCarroll=] was kicked out and replaced by Alan White as drummer (not that [[Music/{{Yes}} Alan White]]) in 1995.
* Bonehead and Guigsy left in 1999. After recording subsequent album ''Standing on the Shoulder of Giants'' as a three-piece, guitarist Colin "Gem" Archer and bassist Andy Bell (formerly guitarist and co-lead singer for the shoegazing band Music/{{Ride}}) were brought in.
* White left the band in 2004. He was unofficially replaced by Music/RingoStarr's son Zak Starkey, who played in the studio and live with the band but was never an official member. After the recording of ''Dig Out Your Soul'', Starkey was replaced by Chris Sharrock, former drummer for The Icicle Works.

albums worldwide.



Oasis's future finally came into critical doubt, after the best part of 20 years marked by internal squabbling and irregular rifts of greater or lesser severity, in August 2009 when Noel – who wrote most of their singles and best known tracks, and decided their artistic directions – announced his departure. The rest of the band were ambiguous as to whether they would carry on, until Liam Gallagher announced a split in late 2009; he later announced that they would "continue the project" in 2010, albeit perhaps with a different name.

This came to pass, as some time after the breakup Liam and the rest of the band reconvened under the name [[TheBandMinusTheFace Beady Eye]], releasing their "debut" album ''Different Gear, Still Speeding'' in February 2011, following up with the slightly better-received ''BE'' two years later. They split up in 2014, and Liam began his solo career, releasing his debut album ''As You Were'' in 2017, followed in 2019 by ''Why Me? Why Not.'', and ''C'mon You Know'' in 2022. Noel came out of hiding more belatedly, confirming that he's going onto a solo career under the name [[IAmTheBand Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds]]; both of the albums he's released under this name (his [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled debut album]], released in October 2011, and 2015's ''Chasing Yesterday'') have gone straight to #1 in the UK, and have performed decently internationally as well; his third album, ''Who Built the Moon?'', was released on 24 November 2017. It went straight to #1, making Noel the first UK artist to ever have 10 straight #1 albums in Britain.

The band received one last stint in the spotlight on April 13, 2020, where, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Noel dug out an old demo and released it as a promotional single, titled "Don't Stop...", under the Oasis name. It was the band's first release since the "Falling Down" single in March of 2009.
