In August of 1996, Oasis, riding high from the overwhelming success of their first two albums Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, were to perform on the hit MTV series Unplugged. However (as was often the case), problems arose within the band, namely between the most well known members of the group, Noel and Liam Gallagher. An argument began between the two brothers, ultimately ending with Liam bowing out of the concert. The idea of postponing, or cancelling the show outright, was discussed, but thankfully, Noel decided to go ahead and sing lead vocals. What some initially thought of as a potential disaster ended up as a brilliant performance from Oasis sans Liam, and for the first time, gave the entire world a good look at what Noel could do.

I’ll continue to say this is the best MTV Unplugged knowing very well that might not be true

Oasis is a band that I can either really enjoy or not give a shit about depending on when you catch me. It's just all of the hit Oasis songs but lacking Liam so it's just Noel awkwardly trying to talk to the audience. It's rather enjoyable and very easy to put on in the background while just talking with people. Recommended.
