I don't mind the Noel rework of D'you know what I mean, but I prefer the snarling cocaine addled over the top dirge of the original. (And the fact that it's a sneaky rewrite of wonderwall to boot.) The rework feels a bit too clever by halves.
But obviously this period remains the great mystery of rock. Over the course of 12 months, Oasis plonked 4 singles with 12 generally brilliant (and some single-worthy songs) into the hands of fans on top of Morning Glory. It was a golden era, but they also literally pissed a sensational 3rd album up the wall.
