11. She’s Electric
She's got a cousin, in fact she's got 'bout a dozen She's Electric is such a jolly tune and the missing single from What's The Story? imo. A summary according to Noel Gallagher: "It's about a boy who's got a girlfriend, and he used to go out with her sister, that he fancies her mother, doesn't get on with her brother, and, as somebody gets her cousin, pregnant, and everybody thinks it was him, because he's a bit of a f---in' run c---, but it wasn't." |

QUOTE(Jesty Cough* @ Apr 14 2020, 07:21 PM)  14. Half The World Away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down Both a B-side on Whatever and the theme song to The Royal Family, this beautiful song is another example of a stellar Oasis B-side. This actually charted in its own right making number 56 in 2015 following the cover by Aurora.  The fact this was only a b-side shows just how much of a roll they were on back then. Morning Glory is another great one, as is She's Electric. The Importance of Being Idle was definitely a return to form, could potentially scrape into my top 20 also. |

So many bad single decisions as well though. |

Roll With It is truly dreadful (as is Blur’s Country House - the big battle would’ve been amazing if it was Wonderwall vs The Universal). |

10. Acquiesce
Because we need each other, We believe in one another The B-side to Some Might Say and originally considered to be half of a double A side. A shame it wasn't as this is far superior to Some Might Say although musically pretty similar. |

9. Stand By Me
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday By far the best Oasis post Morning Glory single, and easily the best song on Be Here Now. Denied number 1 by Elton John's Candle In the Wind 97, this is a stone cold Oasis classic. I particularly love how Noel's and Liam's voice meld perfectly in the chorus. |

Good to see so many B-Sides in here. I genuinely think The Masterplan is better than any of their albums. Acquiesce would definitely be in my top 3.

Thanks Mark. Oasis put some amazing B-sides, and I agree with you about the Masterplan album, though I’d put it after Definitely Maybe and What’s The Story? |

Acquisce is great, one of the best b-sides together with The Masterplan and Half the world away
sure it's better than anything the band did in the 2010s |

good choice of lesser tracks, I often preferred the bonus tracks to the singles. She's Electric was better than most of the singles, Idle is fab. I usually bought the best singles rather than the albums, bar Morning Glory, in the 90's, though I have a few of them now.

8. Don’t Look Back In Anger
And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by My favourite number 1 of all time and a bona fide 90s classic. I never have found out who Sally is though or why she needs to wait. |

7. Wonderwall
Backbeat the word was on the street, That the fire in your heart is out Probably Oasis's signature song and one of the best number 2's ever. I have always been a bit baffled as to why this and DLBIA were the third and fourth singles from Whats The Story? (Morning Glory) instead of the first and second, bit Oasis weren't really known for picking the right singles! I sang this live when I used to do amateur dramatics back in the day. |

I still remember when the Morning glory album was released I kept telling everybody that there was this song on it that was gonna be the biggest song ever... of course I meant Don't Look Back in Anger and not Wonderwall

6. Live Forever
Lately, did you ever feel the pain, In the morning rain, As it soaks you to the bone? Narrowly my favourite Oasis single and where Definitely Maybe wins out over Whats The Story. I think this was the single that really got everyone attention at the time and accelerated the Oasis journey setting them up for bigger things. |
