MY TOP TEN FAVORITE OASIS SONGS PLUS ONE

I’ve blogged about Oasis before and my mixed feelings about them as well as some credit they are deserved for helping launch the whole Britpop thing http://rgdinmalaysia.xanga.com/682320182/two-reasons-why-discerning-music-lovers-shouldnt-hate-oasis/….Now that they have allegedly broken up (and I have heard this before….I’m sure we will be hearing more Oasis in the future), everyone’s got a list of their favorite Oasis tunes, here’s mine….


11.) THE SHOCK OF THE LIGHTNING
The leadoff single from what could be their last release couples recycled but still awesome Beatles riffs with a trademark big sound

10.) ALL AROUND THE WORLD
I know it’s a total rip-off but I love the lalala ending and the guitar solo….Hard to resist

9.) UNDERNEATH THE SKY
A B-side with a tremendously snappy chorus and propulsive retro beat

8.) I CAN SEE A LIAR
STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS is Oasis most underrated release and this Badfinger rocker comes with a wonderful snarl courtesy of Liam Gallagher

7.) HEY NOW
I have always felt that this was the foundation song on their breakthrough WHAT’S THE STORY, MORNING GLORY?

6.) GAS PANIC
Oasis most interesting and experimental song

5.) SOME MIGHT SAY
A near perfect single better than WONDERWALL IMO

4.) THE HINDU TIMES
Should have been a bigger hit but off a genuinely bad release….The chorus is transcendant

3.) DON’T LOOK BACK IN ANGER
Noel Gallagher’s best vocal effortlessly treads over John Lennon, Glam Rock, and The Verve

2.) WHO FEELS LOVE
Strawberry Fields Forever meets The Stone Roses

1.) SUPERSONIC
The quintessential Oasis song-nonsense lyrics, huge guitar, wonderful surly vocals….The guitar solo at the end is my favorite Oasis moment
