Oasis were seriously influenced by their countrymen The Beatles but also by The Rolling Stones and The Who.
Several bands like Maroon 5, Aaron Norton, Coldplay or Arctic Monkeys also mentioned Oasis has part of their influences.The Shock Of The Lightning is the debut single from Oasis' last album.
Noel said of the song: "If 'The Shock of the Lightning' sounds instant and compelling to you, it's because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. 'The Shock of the Lightning' basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there's a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best."

A curious thing about this song is the excerpt of the song "Champagne Supernova" at the very end of the track which is audible if the track is played in reverse.
