A Beginner’s Guide To Oasis: 10 Songs That Will Live Forever

You’ve heard the name. You’ve heard the hype. You’ve seen the brothers fight. Now it’s time to hear the music. Whether you’re new to the Gallagher chaos or just wondering what all the fuss is about, these are the 10 Oasis songs that’ll turn a maybe into a definitely.

1. “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star”
Before they conquered the charts, Oasis kicked open the doors with this stadium-sized mission statement. It’s Liam Gallagher at his cockiest and most convincing — and it’s impossible not to believe him.

2. “Wonderwall”
Yes, you’ve heard it a million times. Yes, it’s that song at every party. But there’s a reason. Timeless melody, aching lyrics, and a sing-along chorus for the ages. Oasis in a nutshell.

3. “Supersonic”
Noel’s guitar tone, Liam’s swagger, lyrics about gin and tonic — “Supersonic” is pure Oasis attitude. It’s rough, loud, and cool without trying. The perfect entry point into the band’s early chaos.

4. “Don’t Look Back in Anger”
One of the few Oasis anthems sung by Noel, and it hits with all the emotional power of a closing-time pub chorus. It’s a song about letting go — even if the band never really did.

5. “Live Forever”
This is the sound of defiance wrapped in melody. At a time when grunge was saying life sucked, Oasis were screaming that it mattered. The optimism here is powerful and addictive.

6. “Acquiesce”
Liam takes the verses, Noel belts the chorus — and together, they remind us that even when they hated each other, the music brought them together. A cult classic that belongs in the spotlight.

7. “Champagne Supernova”
A seven-minute epic that doesn’t make sense and doesn’t need to. This is dream logic, psychedelic beauty, and ’90s Britpop excess all swirling into one glorious slow-burn.

8. “Cigarettes & Alcohol”
It’s glam, it’s gritty, and it’s the working-class anthem for every kid who thought music might be their way out. The riff is stolen (hello, T. Rex), but the swagger is all Oasis.

9. “Slide Away”
Possibly their most underrated love song, buried on Definitely Maybe. It’s raw, aching, and loud — the kind of emotional honesty you only get when the amps are turned up to 11.

10. “Morning Glory”
Feedback, helicopters, and the sound of a band riding the biggest wave of their lives. It’s chaos, it’s energy, and it’s a reminder that when Oasis were good, they were untouchable.
