"Some Might Say" was the first shot fired from (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, sent out by Creation in April 1995, and it handed Oasis what they had been swaggering toward all along: their first number one in Britain, knocking Take That's "Back for Good" off the top. Noel Gallagher wrote it and produced it with Owen Morris, Liam sings the lead with Noel behind him, and Noel and Paul Arthurs pile up the electric guitars over Paul McGuigan's bass and Tony McCarroll's drums.
That lineup is the story, too. It was the last single with all five original members; McCarroll was fired a week after it came out. It's a big, rolling, chest-out record, the sound of a band that already believed its own press.
