What type of music do you find most appealing? ” In 1995, the British band Oasis came out with their second and by far most popular album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. This was one of the major building blocks in the musical wonderland of alternative rock. Alternative rock is a midge podgy category of music that has the rhythm and accentuated backseat of classic rock and roll but is more defined by its unconformity.
