Wonderwall
Discography
Wonderwall is probably Oasis' greatest hit
to date, it sold millions around the world and made No.1 in countries that
Oasis had never even toured, the only thing it didn't do, as with 'Roll
With It' was to become No.1 in England. Again, Oasis had to settle
for the No.2 spot on it's release on the 30th October 1995 .
Wonderwall became popular in English football grounds and a lot of other
artists have taken the challenge of doing their own version, none comes
close to Oasis. Wonderwall was written about Noel's fiancee, Meg Matthews.
The name Wonderwall, is said to have come from a number of things, John
Lennon once said it, mistakably in an interview instead of wonderful, George
Harrison has an album and a song called 'Wonderwall Music' also it is said
that when the Gallaghers were young they had a wall in the back garden
that they used to write on, they called it the Wonderwall.
