No, I'm 100% sure that I am speaking of "Definitely Maybe" Oasis. I was 
managing a record store until the end of December 1994 (when I was offered a 
"real" job starting in Jan '95) and that's where I heard Oasis for the first 
time. We got 5 UK LPs of "Definitely Maybe" on or around September 10 or so 
(I remember because my son turned a month old on the 10th and I gave one to 
the girl that watched him). I've never even heard of "Be Here Now" and would 
have to assume it came out after "(What's The Story) Morning Glory", since I 
only know the first 2.

I wasn't comparing the two. I was just saying that "Forever Changes" is a 
masterpiece; "Definitely Maybe" is not. You can't compare the two. And it's 
not like comparing Miles Davis to Jimmy Smith or Faulkner to Hammett. They 
were all geniuses and legends within their genres; Oasis is a mediocre, 
overhyped pop group that doesn't even fall into the "slow normal' category. 
There are others within their style that are much, much better (though none 
that I would call geniuses or producers of masterpieces).

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Neither one of us will ever convince 
the other to change their view and ultimately, what does it matter?
