Falling between the energetic pop/rock of mod revival and the psychedelic experimentations of Traffic, Ocean Colour Scene came to be one of the leading bands of the traditionalist, post- OasisBritish rock of the mid-'90s. Although they had formed in the late '80s and had several hits during the height of Madchester in the early '90s, the band didn't earn a large following until 1996, when their second album, Moseley Shoals, became a multi-platinum success story in the U.K. Their ascent was greatly aided by Paul Wellerand Oasis' Noel Gallagher, both publicly praised Ocean Colour Scene for keeping the flame of real rock & roll burning during the '90s. And, according to one specific definition, they were right, since Ocean Colour Scene was nothing if not rock & roll traditionalists, drawing heavily from British Invasion pop, psychedelia, soul, R&B, and blues-rock to create a reverential homage to classic rock. Their devotion to trad rock may have earned them decidedly mixed reviews, but that was the very thing that earned them a sizable following.

Biggest Thing Lyrics
Ocean Colour Scene
Off the wall the streets you go
The little girl dont find her name
? ? ? down roads to homes
Where everybody find their game
Just behind the street she goes
Shell be found behind her wheel
cause its the only place she knows
That makes her know just how she feels
cause youre biggest thing
That I see
You got me where you want me
You hunt me down you hold me
And beg me to believe
All too fast to where she goes
But wholl be first to find her name
Holding on in hollywood
But holding on dont make the grade
Just about ? ? ? its alright
? ? ? find
This holidays not hollywood
And holidays dont suit my game
Repeat chorus
Holidays and harlem(? ) nights
Where everybody find their way
? ? ? things they write
And makes you wanna find your place
Repeat chorus twice
