Morning Glory keeps the single-author model at the band's commercial summit: Noel Gallagher wrote all twelve tracks, with the lone outside credit a Gary Glitter interpolation on 'Hello.' Liam sings most leads, but Noel steps to the microphone himself on 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' a small but notable shift in a catalog where he otherwise wrote and his brother sang.
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second studio album by Oasis, released in October 1995 and the band's commercial peak. One of the best-selling albums in British history, it captured the height of Britpop and the band's rivalry with Blur, powered by stadium-sized anthems like 'Wonderwall,' 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' and 'Champagne Supernova.' Noel Gallagher wrote every song, words and music, taking lead vocals himself on 'Don't Look Back in Anger' while Liam Gallagher sang the rest. The only outside credit comes from a Gary Glitter interpolation on 'Hello.' Certified nineteen-times platinum in the UK, it won Best British Album at the 1996 Brit Awards and was later named the greatest British album since 1980.
