Oasis did have a handful of hits before fading into obscurity though. In the US, they first hit with "Live Forever," which peaked at #39 in 1995. Their biggest hit, "Wonderwall," came from their sophomore LP and reached #8 and earned a place in the R&R Hall of Fame. The epic ballad, "Champagne Supernova," topped out at #20. The band achieved one final top 40 appearance in 1997 when another ballad, "Don't Go Away," reached #35.
"She's Electric" is a buried gem on their sophomore effort, "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" Already mined for its share of singles, "She's Electric" could have done well and introduce listeners to a more lighthearted side of the band. Mixing up their homogenized sound and plodding songs with more memorable pop could have done them some favors amongst critics and fans alike.
