Oasis' 10 best songs to date. In no particular order:
"Champagne Supernova"
The final track on 1995's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the epic psychedelic rock song "Champagne Supernova." Oasis has recorded a few epic songs over the years (see "All Around the World," & "Roll It Over") but I don't think any of them match this one. A memorable melody matched with memorable lyrics and some great guitar soloing equals one of the 10 best Oasis songs.
"Wonderwall"
Overplayed and maybe even slightly overrated? Yes. Oasis has a lot of great songs and this is only one of them. It certainly irritating for real Oasis fans (and I consider myself to be one of those) to hear non-fans talk about "Wonderwall" as if it is Oasis' only good song. That being said, I can't leave it off their top 10 list. It's just a classic track.
"Live Forever"
I couldn't possibly have a list of the greatest Oasis songs and leave off "Live Forever." It's the ultimate Oasis anthem. If you are one of those who thinks that "Wonderwall" is Oasis' only good song, take a good listen to "Live Forever." It's about as perfect as a pop rock song can get.
"Supersonic"
One of the unfortunate things about the Oasis songs that have become known here in the United States is that they are almost all on the "softer side" which means that too many Americans don't realize how much Oasis rocks. This song is ample proof of that. Get Oasis debut album Definitely Maybe (which contains "Live Forever" & "Supersonic" and many other great songs) as further proof as it's definitely the Oasis album that rocks the hardest.
"Let There Be Love"
I don't understand how this song isn't a huge massive hit. To me it's like Oasis' "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." This is the final track on 2005's Don't Believe The Truth and it features both Liam Gallagher & Noel Gallagher on vocals. For those who are uneducated on all things Oasis, Liam is the lead singer of the group and Noel the chief songwriter and guitarist. They are brothers (Noel is the older brother.)
"D'You Know What I Mean?"
The opening track from 1997's Be Here Now is this monster track. This is another one where I don't understand how it's not a bigger hit. It's just such a massive sounding song and the guitars are fantastic.
"Don't Go Away"
I guess I sound like a broken record here, but how in the heck is this song not a rock standard? It's pretty much a perfect ballad. Another great song on the underrated Be Here Now.
"Acquiesce"
Oasis made a habit of releasing some of their best songs as B-sides in the 1990s and this may be the best example of that. Since then it's been included on a couple of compilations though, The Masterplan & Stop the Clocks.
"The Masterplan"
If "Acquiesce" isn't the best example of a great Oasis B-side then perhaps "The Masterplan" is. It's the song that gave the B-side collection The Masterplan it's name after all.
"Roll It Over"
I'm probably one of the few who would include "Roll It Over" among the top 10 Oasis songs but I've always been a huge fan of this song which is the final track of 2000's Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The buildup to the final chorus always gives me goosebumps.
Dig Out Your Soul & Heathen Chemistry
I haven't included any songs from either 2002's Heathen Chemistry or 2008's Dig Out Your Soul. In Heathen Chemistry's case that is a rather purposeful decision as I think it's easily Oasis' worst album (although it does have a couple of nice songs.) But I really do very much like Dig Out Your Soul. It's just not an album where the individual songs stand out as much for me. It really seems like, more so than any other Oasis album, that it's an album meant to be heard as a whole. I think that's actually a very nice step forward for the band.
