 | | Oasis' first few U.K. singles, released in spring/summer 1994, were increasingly successful; by the time the group's debut album, Definitely Maybe, came out in the fall of 1994, it debuted at No. 1 in Britain, selling millions of copies. |
 | | Though Oasis was instantly popular after only one album, tensions within the band threatened to prematurely end its career -- the Gallagher brothers fought openly, the group launched press attacks against fellow Britpop stars Blur, and drummer Tony McCaroll suddenly quit Oasis in early 1995 after getting into a bar brawl with Liam Gallagher. |
 | | When Oasis performed at Knebworth in the summer of 1996, it was reportedly the biggest outdoor event ever held in Britain. |
