Ocean Colour Scene
Making a minor splash in the Madchester scene of the mid '90s, this album was recognized mostly for the impressively rock-steady, neo-psychedelic single "Sway." The rest of the album doesn't know if it wants to be more of a traditional rock-out or a White Album-esque Brit pop effort. Either way, the band fares much better with the follow-up album,Moseley Shoals, which rode the Oasis wave into the mid-'90s as Paul Weller assists in backing vocals and keyboards.--Beth Bessmer
