Great oasis tunes

Rocknroll star

Columbia

Slide away

Cast no shadow

Champagne supernova

Fuckin in the bushes

Go let it out

And I'm done

[Vanderlyle]

The thing is... people above have gone through the 'only good songs' from Oasis... and easily got to 15-18 tunes between them. And they haven't mentioned some fairly cheesy tunes that are still massively popular as singalongs and good melodies.... I'm thinking Whatever, Don't Look back in Anger, Some Might Say etc.

They don't deserve to have been the biggest English band for the past 30 years (except maybe Radiohead), but they have a pretty decent back catalogue.

[Ed209]

Married with Children

Slideaway

Masterplan

Half a world away

Cast no shadow

All the rest is dire. (And as for Songbird............)

[Ed209]

There's a few more than that...

Acquiesce

The Masterplan

Live Forever

Gas Panic

Underneath The Sky

Falling Down

There is however a lot of stuff that was definitely "of its time". Good times though...

[Trebor]

They should have done more stuff like Colombia.

[fatyeti24]

[Wooderson]

see above about b-sides. Gas Panic, yeah, thats a great tune forgotten that.

But for 7/8 albums, the fact we're struggling to put together an album's worth of great tunes, and only one from the last three albums, is not exactly making a case.

saying that, they do hold huge nostalgic value for me, and always will.

[The Nal]

Much as they have more gash in their canon than most bands IMO they easily have 12 songs to make a "great" album's worth.

- Slide Away

- Acquiesce

- Rock N Roll Star

- Live Forever

- The Masterplan

- Half The World Away

- Cast No Shadow

- Lyla

- Stay Young

- D'You Know What I Mean

- Columbia

- Fade Away

3 songs ending in "Away". Read a few books Noel FFS.

[russycarps]

Lyla is one of my most hated songs ever!

The new Beady Eye is surprisingly good for them. Doesn't really go anywhere, but it is Beady Eye.

Noeel was definitely listening to TSOOL when he wrote Lyla.

[Jie Bie]

Another good one was Talk Tonight...

[russycarps]

what about the b-side Idler's Dream? I used to like that one

[The Nal]

Yeah the B Sides were quite good to be fair.

I always liked D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman

And always really Liked Stand By Me. I love a D to A minor progression (chorus), as simple as it is. Also really reminds me of my first summer away sans parents. We had Be Here Now, Pop and Fat of the Land on repeat for 2 weeks in the Canaries.

This version is great.

Any excuse to post this piece of incredibleness.

[ThomThomDrum]

Not a real tune IMO, more an intro.........but I always love hearing this

[Wooderson]

Stand By Me is the nadir of Oasis' career in my humble etc. Absolute rubbish.

Or is it 'Oh Well' by the Mac? Maybe they're all I that infectious lineage.
