Oasis is a British rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. The core lineup over its peak years was led by Liam Gallagher (vocals) and Noel Gallagher (lead guitar and primary songwriter), with other long-time members including Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs (guitar), Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan (bass), and Tony McCarroll (drums) in the very early days, followed by changes such as Alan White (drums) and later additions. Noel’s arrival solidified the group’s classic Britpop era, and the band went on to achieve massive global success with albums like Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995). They became one of the defining acts of the Britpop movement, known for hits such as Wonderwall, Dont Look Back in Anger, and Live Forever. The band’s history is also marked by public feuds between the Gallagher brothers and a highly publicized rise to stardom in the 1990s, followed by a period of hiatus and a reunion in 2025 with Liam and Noel Gallagher reuniting along with longtime members. If you’d like, I can summarize current status, notable albums, or lineup changes in more detail.
