The October 1994 Oasis issue is an especially desirable early Oasis-era cover, published shortly after the release of Definitely Maybe, making it a standout piece in the lot. The 1997 issues also contain excellent period coverage from the late-Britpop/alternative era, including an early Daft Punk mention on the April 1997 cover.
