[edit] album title from Kinks song?

I know the Kinks are a big influence on Oasis....does anyone know if the title of this album is a reference to the song "Definite Maybe" off the Kinks' "State of Confusion" album?

[edit] umber one date

how to reach the number 1 chart position on june 1994 when it was released on agoust 1994?

Nothing on the book "Definitely Maybe" by arkady and boris strugatsky??

[edit] chart positions

Why does this article only have the US chart positions? JW 23:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What is "recently"?

"It has recently re-entered the charts at no. 62 in mid July." Which July is this? Avoid statements that will date quickly. Hairy Dude 18:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

"The album folded in elements of jangle pop, shoegazing, New Wave, and indie". Really? Sounded like early Beatles/60s "Britpop" to me. And I mean that in a good way. --kingboyk 11:31, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

The Robert Christgau review (and he - a professional reviewer - says Beatles too, I might add) is only one line long. It's hardly worthy of a promiment link in the infobox and it would be more economical to just quote it verbatim. --kingboyk 11:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Front Cover

Does anyone know where the picture on the front cover was taken? I've heard it was at a place called india house in Manchester, but it looks a lot more like a few London house I've been to, and nothing like any of the places in Manchester I've seen (despite having lived here for several years)

I've heard it was actually inside Bonehead's house

[edit] The Hour: track by track

Just to let everyone know, Theer was an interview Noel Gallagher made with George Stroumboulopoulos on The Hour. That video was accompanied by a track-by-track segment only posted here (WMP) providing stories to each track. These may be very useful for anyone that wants to go through it and add any missing information. An example would be the clearing of confusion on "Digsy's Dinner", which I have already added. Be sure to reference the video similar to the "Digsy's Dinner" page. Cheers. -- Reaper X 19:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I just saw a repeat broadcast of the Noel Gallagher bit on The Hour, but after noodling around I see that on the official Oasis web site the track is listed as "Digsy's Diner" http://www.oasisinet.com/site.php?site=album&atype=0&country=172&idx=15 . (Actually, it's "Digsy s Diner") So, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Noel's taking the piss? We should at least refrain from stating the interview with Stroumboulopoulos is the final word. --Persnickety 08:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The Hour interview fucking had it come right out of Gallagher's mouth. The website could have been a bloody typing mistake as well. I wouldn't refrain from stating the interview with Stroumboulopoulos is the final word. It's the most reliable source you got when it comes out of his bloody mouth. -- Reaper X 20:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

It's "Dinner" and it always has been "Dinner". There's enough interviews and on-stage introductions of the song to realise that. Oasisinet is rubbish anyway, so there's no surprise that they've got it wrong.--Mr. Monobrow 01:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
