Whatever is a great song. I think Bittersweet Symphony is a better song, but obviously The Verve doesn’t hold a candle to Oasis in an apples to apples comparison. Drugs Don’t Work is a great song as well, but I think Don’t Look Back in Anger is one of the most sonically similar in Oasis’ catalogue and a better song imo.
Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory, released a year apart, remains one of the most iconic 1-2 punches in music history. Harking back to the days of the Beatles and Neil Young where artists would put out incredible albums that became almost instant classics in quick succession. Not quite the same, obviously, as the Beatles 13 album catalogue, almost all of which are revered classics that are influential even today, came out in the span of 7 years. But definitely (maybe) one of the closest modern examples.
