As Oasis stirs up excitement with hints of a potential reunion, fans are eagerly revisiting the band’s greatest hits. Fifteen years after the Gallagher brothers’ split, which followed a series of high-profile performances including a sell-out run at Manchester’s Heaton Park, rumors of a comeback tour have emerged. Both Liam and Noel Gallagher, along with the official Oasis account, teased an announcement on August 27, fueling speculation about a 2025 tour that may include shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.
In the midst of this buzz, we’ve ranked the top three Oasis songs, celebrating their legacy with a mix of anthems, deep cuts, and iconic tracks.
3. “Don’t Look Back in Anger” (1995)
While Noel Gallagher may have famously given his brother Liam the iconic “I said maaaybaaayyy,” it was Noel who delivered the unforgettable chorus in “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” This track, which pays homage to John Lennon’s “Imagine” with its piano introduction, is arguably Oasis’s most beloved sing-along anthem. Its poignant lyrics and soaring refrain, “Sooo, Sally can wait!” make it a staple of arena rock. Notably, it was the first Oasis single to feature Noel’s vocals, proving his ability to front a No. 1 hit alongside his brother. — E.S.
2. “Supersonic” (1994)
The debut single from Oasis’s first album, Definitely Maybe, “Supersonic” exemplifies the band’s signature blend of rock and pop. Despite its simplicity, marked by straightforward chord progressions and direct lyrics, the song’s chorus provides a melodic lift that elevates it. Its fusion of raw rock elements with catchy pop sensibilities set the tone for Oasis’s explosive entry into the music scene in April 1994. — J.A.
1. “Champagne Supernova” (1995)
Closing the band’s critically acclaimed album, What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, “Champagne Supernova” showcases Noel Gallagher’s lyrical depth and songwriting maturity. The track stands out not only for its reflective and expansive lyrics but also for its dynamic guitar work, which includes contributions from Paul Weller. Weller’s influence, drawn from his work with The Jam, added a layer of sophistication to Oasis’s sound, marking this song as a high point in their discography. — J.A.
As the band’s potential reunion looms, these tracks remain a testament to Oasis’s impact and enduring appeal in the rock genre.
