The 10 Greatest Oasis Songs of All Time (Fan-Voted)
From Manchester to the masses, Oasis didn’t just write songs, they crafted anthems that soundtracked the lives of millions. Whether it’s an acoustic singalong or a wall of overdriven guitars, fans around the world have voted time and time again for the tracks that made Oasis a generation-defining band.
Across Reddit threads, Radio X polls, and Spotify streaming charts, these ten songs consistently rise to the top. Here are the fan-voted all-time greatest Oasis songs, ranked by legacy, love, and longevity.
1. Wonderwall
-
Released: October 30, 1995
-
Album: (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
There’s no getting around it “Wonderwall” is the Oasis song. With over 1.5 billion streams globally, it remains the band’s most iconic track. Originally written for Noel’s then girlfriend Meg Mathews, the emotional simplicity of the lyrics paired with Liam’s vulnerable vocal delivery made it an instant classic.
2. Don’t Look Back in Anger
-
Released: February 19, 1996
-
Album: (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
One of the few Oasis songs sung by Noel himself, this has evolved into a cultural anthem, especially in the UK. Its piano intro, inspired by John Lennon, and message of defiant peace give it an eternal resonance often heard at vigils and football terraces alike.
3. Live Forever
-
Released: August 8, 1994
-
Album: Definitely Maybe
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
Radio X recently named this the greatest British song of all time, and for good reason. “Live Forever” was Oasis’s response to the nihilism of grunge, it offered hope, ambition, and immortality. Liam’s vocals soared; Noel’s songwriting elevated Britpop to mythic heights.
4. Champagne Supernova
-
Released: May 13, 1996
-
Album: (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
A sprawling seven-minute masterpiece, “Champagne Supernova” remains a fan favorite at live gigs. It’s hazy, hypnotic, and impossible not to sing along to particularly that outro. Bonus points for Paul Weller’s cameo on guitar.
5. Slide Away
-
Released: August 29, 1994
-
Album: Definitely Maybe
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
Often hailed as one of the band’s most underrated ballads, this love song shows Liam at his most tender. Noel once claimed it was one of the best songs he’s ever written—and fans tend to agree.
6. Morning Glory
-
Released: September 15, 1995
-
Album: (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
Power chords, helicopter sounds, and that thunderous riff, “Morning Glory” is Britpop turned up to 11. It’s not subtle, but it doesn’t need to be. This is the sound of a band conquering the world.
7. Supersonic
-
Released: April 11, 1994
-
Album: Definitely Maybe
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
The song that started it all. Written and recorded in a single night, “Supersonic” announced Oasis as something raw and real. It’s cocky, catchy, and, fittingly, totally supersonic.
8. Some Might Say
-
Released: April 24, 1995
-
Album: (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
Oasis’s first UK No. 1 single, “Some Might Say” blends upbeat guitars with bleak domestic imagery, classic Gallagher contrast. A true Britpop gem and still a staple of Liam’s solo sets.
9. The Masterplan
-
Released: November 2, 1998 (B-side of “Wonderwall”; later on The Masterplan compilation)
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
How this was ever a B-side is beyond fans. “The Masterplan” is Noel at his philosophical peak a sweeping, orchestral track that feels more Beatles than Britpop. Liam has called it one of his brother’s finest.
10. Acquiesce
-
Released: October 1995 (B-side of “Some Might Say”; later on The Masterplan)
-
Written by: Noel Gallagher
Fan forums and Reddit threads have kept “Acquiesce” alive for decades. Featuring both Gallagher brothers on lead vocals, this track is loud, raw, and undeniably powerful. It’s not just a B-side, it’s a fan anthem.
