Moseley Shoals by Ocean Colour Scene
Moseley Shoals is an album by Ocean Colour Scene, released in 1996. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Day We Caught the Train”, on 5 lists with a best position of #3.
Moseley Shoals, Ocean Colour Scene's second album, arrived on MCA in April 1996, right in the thick of Britpop, with the band's home turf in the title: they had formed in Moseley, Birmingham, in 1989. Simon Fowler, Steve Cradock and Oscar Harrison dig into vintage, sun-warmed guitar rock with the swagger of a band that knows its record collection, and "The Day We Caught the Train" and "The Riverboat Song" are the tunes that stuck.
It peaked at number two in Britain and then simply refused to leave, clocking up 92 weeks on the chart, a longer stay than any other Ocean Colour Scene album managed, even the one that went all the way to number one the following year.
