“Roll With It” by Oasis

Oasis fired off "Roll With It" on 14 August 1995, the second single from their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, on Creation, and it arrived with a war attached. Blur put out "Country House" on the very same day, and after weeks of the press stoking the rivalry, the two singles became a straight race for number one in Britain. Blur won that battle, selling roughly 50,000 more copies than Oasis over the opening week, in what the Official Charts Company later called one of the highest-profile contests the charts have ever seen.

Noel Gallagher wrote it, co-produced it with Owen Morris, who recorded it, and plays guitar and sings backing vocals, while Liam Gallagher takes the lead with his usual sneer. Paul Arthurs adds guitar, Paul McGuigan plays bass and Alan White handles drums and percussion, all of it a brash, swaggering stomp.
