favourite Oasis Track

[duncan bulgaria]

Went to wembly saturday night to watch these boys and in the boozer beforehand we was chatting about our fav tune , out of ten of us pals we each had a different favourite track .

Now i'm guessing thats the sign of a decent band if so many of your songs are good enough to be a favourite , for instance at Blur the previous week there was only 2 or 3 songs being thrown into the equation .

For the record my fav is Cast no shadow , followed by Masterplan and then aquicence . Also for the record I though Kasabian smashed it that night and ' Fire ' was immense ....defo tune of the night .

Thouts chaps ??

Varies depending on how recently Ive heard songs... at the moment, probably would go for Slide Away.

More controversial choice, but have been listening to 'Mucky Fingers' a bit lately as its on my Ipod running playlist .....

 

[MrB]

Slide Away by a country mile for me.

Columbia (with honourable mentions to Stand By Me, The Importance of Being Idle and the instrumental tune that's a b-side of Wonderwall (I think) that features in 2 places on WTSMG? and they used to come on stage to).

Did a similar thing with Blur the other day & felt it was a good 8 or 9 top tunes, not just the couple you mentioned kept cropping up!

EDIT - Just seen peoples love of Slide Away, they used to have an awesome projection for live shows for this track as they did for Live Forever with various famous quotes all morphing in to end up with john Lennon's face - it's an extra on the Oasis DVD circa 2000 (their last show at the old Wembley).

Amen to that, very funny quirky song

 

[Desert Shrimper]

Good thread, when you think about it they have nailed more classics than MJ (but not as many kids.)

I'd probably go for Stop Crying Your Heart Out or Supersonic, depending on my mood.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Another vote for Columbia.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Probably Live Forever, with What's the Story Morning Glory a close second.

Another one here for Supersonic. Not many tunes sound better at ear-blistering volume, and the idea that you need a G&T when you're feeling Supersonic has always appealed.

Morning Glory - Great rock n roll song, makes you want to be in a band.
Off the new album 'The Turning' comes close.

Some might say, cigarettes and alcohol, champagne supernova.

Hard to pick between Don´t Look Back in Anger or Slide Away, but then is there a bad Oasis song? Although I´m not a fan of the latest album. Champagne Supernova is amazing live. Saw them in Edinburgh a few weeks ago it was awesome. They played for almost 2 hours and the Enemy were good support too. And I met Liam Gallagher in a pub the night before! Great band.

Slide Away for me. Mind you, I was there last night and I was genuinely shocked at how awful their new stuff is. If someone accused Noel of stealing every song he'd written before 1996, I'd belive it in an instant. Even Status Quo occasionally used three different chords.

 

[Mad Cyril]

but then is there a bad Oasis song?

There are many.

 

[Uncle Leo]

but then is there a bad Oasis song?

Quite a few, yes. Most of their post-1995 output in fact.

I'd be quite happy if I never again heard a track from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.....

If it was teh same set they played as Saturday night then tehy had an error , Kasabian smashed it up and got the crowd going only for Oasis to play the first 3 tunes of which were newbies .

Personally and what do i know as never sold out a concert in my life by I for one would of started with a banger to keep the crowd going .

But after that they couldn't be faulted ,,,,**** hot night !!

Went to see them on Thursday night at Wembley and was having a similar debate! Slide Away is my fav Oasis song and has been for a while.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

In Edinburgh they started with Rock n Roll Star and Lyla and basically did a greatest hits set with just a few newish ones.
