Before the Gallagher brothers became the kings of Britpop, the band was called 'The Rain.' When Liam Gallagher joined, he suggested they change the name to 'Oasis.' The name was inspired by a poster in the Gallagher brothers' childhood bedroom. The poster was for a tour by the band Inspiral Carpets, for whom Noel Gallagher worked as a roadie. One of the venues listed on the poster was the 'Oasis Leisure Centre' in Swindon. Liam liked the sound of it and felt it was much better than 'The Rain.' When Noel joined the band later, he reportedly wasn't a fan of the name but agreed to keep it. Oasis went on to record 'Definitely Maybe,' the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time, and 'Morning Glory,' cementing their legacy as one of the most successful bands of the 90s.
