Okay we have all heard Wonderwall and Supersonic, some of the slightly enlightened may even say Don’t look back in anger and Champagne Supernova (And many more). Granted these are really great tracks indeed but there is a whole other world of Oasis that is unexplored , so here i have compiled a list of tracks i personally feel are really underrated, underplayed and certainly under-discussed.

*Drum-rolls please*

1. FADE AWAY

Notable Line: Living in a bubble days were never ending Was not concerned about what life was sending Fantasy was real, now I know much about the way I feel

I really want people to talk more about this track, initially a B-side to Cigarettes and Alcohol it was later made part of “The Masterplan” mostly a collection of B-sides itself. This tracks seems to connect with me a lot on several levels with the song talking about how people’s dreams change or get rejected for reasons you can’t control (Liker D’yer wanna be a spaceman might I) and the singer knows how it’s like. The tracks has a strong punk flavour to it as well, drawing it from The Clash and the Sex Pistols. The songs is like a dude patting you saying hey, guy its alright, it has happened to me too! sigh.

All in all a beautiful track with a really great acoustic version as well. Listen to it now!

2. STEP OUT

Notable Line: I met her down the disco in a beat up car She was burning down the road She looked just like a star with a jaguar She needs to lighten her load

This song really pumps it up, with the opening riff and the way that the entire song is arranged, mixed with Noel’s loud vocals makes for a cracker of a track. B-side for Don’t Look Back in Anger, this song is co-credited with Stevie Wonder (Probably because it sounds like on one of his tracks). One thing to mention here is that I actually personally prefer the Familiar To Millions version mostly because of the better vocals, crowd-cheer and the addition of the line “You’re my bitch, rescue me tonight”. So, yeah go listen.

3. GOING NOWHERE

Notable Line: Here am I, going nowhere on a train Here am I, growing older in the rain Here am I, going nowhere on a train Here am I, getting lost and lonely sad and only

I love this track and it hurts me that when I type in “Going Nowhere” on YouTube I get a songs only by Fifth Harmony *sighs*.

The intro of this is just beautiful with noel employing the “Talking-to-you-in-front-of-your-face” feel to it. The song is probably on a break-up guessing from the “Many men” line from the song. The song has some really fine lazy-good feels to it. The mini-solo is also pretty sweet. Check it!

4. I HOPE I THINK I KNOW

Notable Line: As we beg and steal and borrow, life is hit and miss and this I hope, I think, I know if I ever hear the names you call

Feeling down, having a meltdown? Press play for the cure.

Probably one of the best songs I’ve come across from the Oasis stable, from the intro to the verses to the mega-fucking chorus, this song also has such a strong personal attachment. Hard-core fans, D’you what I mean? (Please lemme have this)

I Hope I Think I Know I feel is essentially what Oasis is all about, it’s like I know you’re down, but hey you shout a song until you feel better, because you know what it’s okay to feel sad, everyone does, so get up and don’t be a little bitch about it.

5. KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

Notable Line: Every night I think I know, In the morning where did it go? The answers disappear when I open my eyes.

Written by Bassist Andy Bell, this song really hits your hard when you realise what the song is about. And the way the drums start off, is woahh so incredible. The line “And even though I fall from grace, I will keep the dream alive” Says it all. Even though Bell is not originally “Oasis” this track almost has the flavours of a typical Noel-written track. Cheers!

6. HEADSHRINKER

Notable Line: Lost in a fog I've been treated like a dog and I'm out of here

Probably not one of the strongest lyrical songs, this song relies on the straight-up rhyme scheme, which does not surprisingly disappoint. Heavily Punk-inspired this song is one of tracks where you can hear Noel really rock it out with the guitar which is a total treat, don’t know what I mean? Notice at 1:36 what happens. You’re welcome.

7.SAD SONG

Notable Line: When we cheat and we lie Nobody says it's wrong So we don't ask why Cause it's all just the same At the end of the day

Noel nails this one with surprisingly shaky and vulnerable-sounding vocals. The acoustic guitar also sounds beautiful, with the picky-strumming style of playing; the build-up is really amazing with Noel displaying his lyrical genius once again. He is almost seen singing biblically, making statements along the way. Must hear! Must heed! ( He-eh )

8. GUESS GOD THINKS I’M ABEL

Notable Line: You could be my best friend Stay up all night long You could be my railroad We go on and on

Guess who could this song be about? *sneers*

Written by Liam Gallagher, this track feels like something Liam might’ve written while thinking of his lover and his brother at varying moments. Still. The song is one of the only few songs Liam sung on the acoustic and it sounds simply beautiful with lots of great changes in the melody, surprisingly (No Offence though). I also like the part where he sings “Let’s go find a rainbow”. Check it asap!

9. ROUND ARE WAY

Notable Line: The game is kicking off in around the park It's twenty five a side and before it's dark There's gonna be a loser And you know the next goal wins

First off, the in intro is just epic, throwing you into this nostalgic trance with all the trumpets and the guitars. Noel has the uncanny ability to somehow be abel (Haaah) to throw you into this feel where you want to sit and reminisce about things , even after being far-away and so culturally different (My case) . Bits where Noel and Liam harmonize (“Know yaaaa”) also make for a really really amazing sounding track. There is a sweet mouth-organ bit there too if you listen closely. Has The Jam’s “Going Underground” kind of a feel to it, no?

Hear this one!

10. ITS BETTER PEOPLE

Notable Line: It's better people, love one another 'Cause livin' your life can be tough It's better people, speak to each other Your shame is not enough

B-side to the famous song that triggered the famous Oasis-Blur rivalry Roll with it, “Its better people”, the song talks on how there is a need for people to have togetherness, perhaps written on lines of “Imagine” maybe? The line “If everybody came alive

and stayed alive and lived their lives instead, yeah” is simple yet so relevant. It talks on how we are caught up in so many trivial things that we forget that we need to just talk to one another and that will make everything alright. With all the whining about hating-people i see on social media, the song makes you realise that it is the people that will help you live this life in the end. Also the acoustic bits towards the end just rule. Noel you Genius!

So, here are the ten tracks that I think are highly underrated, of course there is bound to be someone who disagrees, so tell you what post a comment on the song you think is underrated and we can talk about it!

*cries* This is the only way i make friends.
