The Great Rock n Roll Swindle was released and it became one of the biggest selling albums ever in Britain and sold faster than free P on K road. It had 3 awesome Oasis B-sides, where could it all go wrong? Everyone knew Wonderwall and dad's whistled Don't Look Back in Anger as they went about doing what dads do.
