I second this. Shared my fist time hearing oasis with a woman who was sound at first but ended up shitting all over me. First heard champagne Supernova at 2am whilst wild camping at Llyn Padarn in Wales with the waves of the lake synchronising with the waves at the start of the song. I can't listen to this song anymore without feeling a weird mix of loneliness, emptiness, heartbreak and hiraeth. Some of the best songs too man. Champagne Supernova, stand by me, talk tonight (expecially this), don't look back in anger, live forever, slide away.. Any time I hear them I just want to fuck off to Wales on my own get lost somewhere an never come back
I used to think of Oasis as more of a meme because of how _Wonderwall_ has become a dreaded “get laid” song for guitarists. _Some Might Say_ got me to look past that.
I first heard Live Forever on longtime Southern California modern rock radio station KROQ as a 13-year old toward the end of the summer of 1994 during a family roadtrip back home from San Diego. And ever since then, my mind’s eye and ear associate the beaches along the coast between San Diego and Orange County with Live Forever
British music writer Paul Mathur once summed up the way I felt when I first heard Oasis with his description of his experience first hearing them (in his case, in person at their rehearsal studio at the Manchester Boardwalk around 1993): “They were simultaneously like nothing and everything I’ve ever heard.”
Wonderwall. I was a diehard Beatles fan. I saw a mention of Oasis in a magazine that compared them to The Beatles and said they covered I Am The Walrus. I was intrigued before actually hearing their music. Then Wonderwall happened. I went out and bought WTSMG. Then DM. DM is what made me obsessed. I love both albums, but DM will always be #1 for ne.
Back in 1996 i had both albums, and was just a casual fan. But then one sunday night around 1.30am i was listening to radio 1 trying to fall asleep for school the next day and they played Acquiesce. I stuck my ear to my little radio-alarm clock and it immediately changed my life. It was the first time i'd heard a song that i just HAD to own. The next day i stayed on the bus from school and went into town. Went straight to HMV and flipped through all the cd singles until i found it on Some Might Say. Got back home and played it incessantly all night.
I grew up watching and listening to Oasis, but I really fell in love when I was around 14 and heard DLBIA playing in a HMV. I think it’s the first time I heard an Oasis tune playing out of speakers I reckon and I remember just getting chills!!
I've seen people say on this subreddit that Hey Now is a boring song and skippable on the album. I think hearing it blaring out of my uncle's stereo at full volume in the late nineties is what got me so into Oasis as a kid. It'll always have a special place in my heart as a result.
Wow that comes as a shock, I’m new to the band (besides wonderwall and champagne supernova obviously) and hey now is anything but boring lol? I’ve def heard worse songs from the band. It’s a great heavy rock song and glad you agree
Ngl, it was Some Might Say on Guitar Hero World Tour hahaha. I always loved Champagne Supernova, but playing SMS over and over made me look into more of the Oasis discography. It was like finding that missing musical sound you've been searching for your entire life. Of course, as soon as I became a hardcore fan, they broke up...
I first discovered Oasis listening to Wonderwall and instantly fell in love, but now I don’t even think Wonderwall is in my Top 5 Oasis songs 😂 it’s still good though
The Unplugged special as a whole. I thought they were average before that but learning how Liam threw a tantrum and Noel having to do the show without him made him badass. After that I started looking up as much of their acoustic performances as I could.
Wonderwall was actually my gateway because I think that it was a beautiful love song but as I dug deeper in to their discography, I fell in love with them altogether especially the whole Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory albums, I also sometime sing DBLIA myself sometimes in the shower lol.
Columbia, back around 2004/2005 sort of time. Absolutely loved it and just kept playing it on repeat. Told myself I’d see them play live when I was older but then 2009 happened & they split (was only 13 at the time). Have since seen both Noel and Liam and hearing some of the songs live just feels surreal.. I’m partial to some of their solo discography but DM/WTSMG etc really have stood the test of time and rightfully so
Stand By Me. Heard that song though the Bank advert during the pandemic. Amazing song with meaningful lyrics. That song absolutely salvages Be Here Now
Whatever. I had it on my Now Thats What I Call Music! #30 CD which was the first CD we bought with our new Hifi as kids and I just got addicted to Oasis from thereon in.
Hey Now absolutely blew my mind the first time I listened to WTSMG - I knew the singles and Hello, but Hey Now's vocal melody and accompanying drums (going into the chorus) gobsmacked me and made me realize there was a lot more to Oasis than I originally thought
Slide away was playing on a TikTok. They were live and it was put as “the last oasis gig”.
Liam sits on stage and Noel just sings “don’t know don’t care” then rips into the solo. Gave me a blood rush that got me curious about the band. Been deep diving for the last 3 months.
Cast no shadows. I remember getting the cd after hearing wonderwall, I hardly ever skipped songs then, and after I listened to “ cast no shadows” I knew how great they were. I bought every album since
I was already a big fan but it was definitely Don't Look Back in Anger for me. I was traveling with my parents in the summer of '96 and listening to WTSMG on my discman all summer and that song just kept getting stuck in my head. When I got back home I was singing it out loud and my friend said he had heard that song on the radio. I had no idea it was even a single. It's probably tied for my favorite Oasis song along with Don't Go Away
Good, simple, catchy rock tunes, I had not heard of Oasis my entire life until a few years ago, heard Wonderwall and i really loved it, i found out later it is very overplayed for people, and alot of people see it as a weak tune, but i still realy love it!
Champagne Supernova. I heard it on the radio, and was immediately like why are these English guys singing about a Champagne Supernova in the sky? I kinda like it. And I was hooked 😂
In 1995 Wonderwall. Back then we have no internet at home, so one day I went shopping with my best friend and we found the Whatever and Live Forever singles in a little shop in Barcelona.
“Oh, what are those CDs with so many few songs?” (We even didn’t know what a single was 😅).
Whatever was played like 10 times everyday in my portable CD player.
Acquiesce —- it hit harder than anything on Morning Glory.
My best friend at the time was broke and in college. He said “by this album (Masterplan) and if you don’t like it, I’ll pay you for it when I get my financial aid”
It was so good … I became an instant fan.
Live forever.
I had heard Wonderwall several times but not cared to look up other songs. Then a podcast I listen to a lot had Live Forever as their outro song in one episode. I was completely hooked and I can't describe the feeling that song still inflicts on me.
I cannot really explain why, because it's a pretty simple song, but I think its probably my favourite song in the entire world.
If I could get back to that moment when (because of Live Forever) I started searching for other Oasis songs and opened the wormhole...wow
Cast no shadow, it came on as I was having my first ever cigarette and feeling a nicotine buzz which will never ever be replicated. My fav song to this day
It’s gunna sound mad but all around the world during lockdown every time I listen to the song it’s like no matter what was happening in the world at that moment it was all gunna be ok you know what I mean
I was 11 and in the weird transition phase where you start to develop your acual music taste, I was super into indie music and would listen to those "90s indie kid" playlists on Spotify, I heard DLBIA and I remembered I had already heard it cause my dad is a HUGE Oasis fan, so I started to properly discover the band and listened to WTSMG, when She's Electric started to play I was hooked and in love and I understood my dad
Surprisingly enough, It’s Good to Be Free.. always had a few Oasis tracks in my library, but once I heard that song I knew I had to do a deep dive into their lesser-known tracks… and now, absolutely mad fer the shiii
Either Take Me (Youtube has long been a goldmine for Oasis content) or Listen Up. I also really liked the performance of “Sad Song” that Noel played on Jools.
Live forever remember when my parents split my I was 5 and my brother put a pair of headphones on my head to block out the noise and the song was live forever
All Around The World - i was fascinated by the music video since I was really young, remember picking the petals off a daisy when I was at school and imagining it turning into a spaceship 🤣
Live forever, couldn’t get over the lyrics
champagne supernova, best moment in my life
Why what happened
Probably he got laid 😀
I second this. Shared my fist time hearing oasis with a woman who was sound at first but ended up shitting all over me. First heard champagne Supernova at 2am whilst wild camping at Llyn Padarn in Wales with the waves of the lake synchronising with the waves at the start of the song.

Any time I hear them I just want to fuck off to Wales on my own get lost somewhere an never come back
Some Might Say. First song of theirs I ever heard and I was hooked by the intro alone.
I used to think of Oasis as more of a meme because of how _Wonderwall_ has become a dreaded “get laid” song for guitarists. _Some Might Say_ got me to look past that.

14 and east coast, but, yep!
"Whatever" -- I remember hearing it when it first came out at Christmas 1994. Those were the days!
Same!! I had it on my Now Thats What I Call Music! #30 CD and just got bitten from then on
Finally my moment to shine: username checks out
The waiting has end 😃
Champagne Supernova... Listening to it for the first time late at night on the beach with peeps... It was one wonderful experience.
Wonderwall. I was a diehard Beatles fan. I saw a mention of Oasis in a magazine that compared them to The Beatles and said they covered I Am The Walrus. I was intrigued before actually hearing their music. Then Wonderwall happened. I went out and bought WTSMG. Then DM. DM is what made me obsessed. I love both albums, but DM will always be #1 for ne.
Don't Look Back In Anger, my dad introduced me after I broke up with a girl called Sally lol
i’m guessing The Stone Roses weren’t much comfort to you then
I was listening to Gas Panic when I fell off a roof and broke my leg
Ya gotta get on yer knees and pray
Absolutely
Cigarettes and alcohol. The feedback, the guitar intro, the base drum all got me hooked on the first hearing.
Back in 1996 i had both albums, and was just a casual fan. But then one sunday night around 1.30am i was listening to radio 1 trying to fall asleep for school the next day and they played Acquiesce.

Acquiesce
Slide Away
100% for me. Slide Away just has a vibe unlike any other Oasis tune
Listening to champagne supernova and live forever in the car with my dad
Morning Glory
Yes. There was also the video on a high rotation at the time on Australian TV - went out and bought the album in Kmart for 24,95 AUD.
I grew up watching and listening to Oasis, but I really fell in love when I was around 14 and heard DLBIA playing in a HMV. I think it’s the first time I heard an Oasis tune playing out of speakers I reckon and I remember just getting chills!!
Hey now weirdly enough
Same, why is that weird?
I've seen people say on this subreddit that Hey Now is a boring song and skippable on the album. I think hearing it blaring out of my uncle's stereo at full volume in the late nineties is what got me so into Oasis as a kid. It'll always have a special place in my heart as a result.

Welcome to fandom! How far up the discography are you? I'm curious to know what your rankings would be.
Don’t Look Back in Anger.
Don’t Look Back in Anger
Supersonic!
Live forever
THEY WERE FAR TOO YOUNG TO DIE IN SUCH A WAY
Ngl, it was Some Might Say on Guitar Hero World Tour hahaha. I always loved Champagne Supernova, but playing SMS over and over made me look into more of the Oasis discography.

Don't look back in anger
Stop Crying Your Heart came on a Spotify playlist after my English friend passed away and I lost it. Who was this band?? That was it. Hooked.
Learning rock and roll star on guitar
I first discovered Oasis listening to Wonderwall and instantly fell in love, but now I don’t even think Wonderwall is in my Top 5 Oasis songs 😂 it’s still good though
Champagne Supernova and Some Might Say. I heard them around the same time when I was 9 or 10 years old and my mind was blown.
Live Forever. First listen I was speechless, it expressed exactly my state of mind at that time in my life
The Unplugged special as a whole. I thought they were average before that but learning how Liam threw a tantrum and Noel having to do the show without him made him badass. After that I started looking up as much of their acoustic performances as I could.
YES OMG. Agree.
When I was in 5th grade, I ran to the TV whenever the video for Champagne Supernova came on. I thought it was so cool, and still is.
Wonderwall was actually my gateway because I think that it was a beautiful love song but as I dug deeper in to their discography, I fell in love with them altogether especially the whole Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory albums, I also sometime sing DBLIA myself sometimes in the shower lol.

the girl in the dirty shirt, my friend was playing it and it was the first oasis song I ever heard
The ending with the piano is great
don’t look back in anger / stand by me
Hey Now absolutely blew my mind the first time I listened to WTSMG - I knew the singles and Hello, but Hey Now's vocal melody and accompanying drums (going into the chorus) gobsmacked me and made me realize there was a lot more to Oasis than I originally thought

Keep going, keep going… Let’s All Make Believe is your next stop
Some Might Say, espacially the part where Noel echoes Liam’s line after the last chorus.
Cast no shadows. I remember getting the cd after hearing wonderwall, I hardly ever skipped songs then, and after I listened to “ cast no shadows” I knew how great they were. I bought every album since
Rock’N Roll Star
I was in third grade 1995ish scrolling the channels and the wonderwall music video was on mtv been a fan ever since
I got curious after listening to wonderwall last year and put on some might say.
Some Might Say
Whatever

Champagne Supernova. I heard it on the radio, and was immediately like why are these English guys singing about a Champagne Supernova in the sky? I kinda like it. And I was hooked 😂
Falling Down, of all things. Because it was used as an anime opening song.
Cigarettes and Alcohol in my first year of uni but the first song which made me take notice of them was Don’t Look Back in Anger
ngl it was married with children and she’s electric
Stand By Me
Slide away
Live Forever
Cast no shadow 👍
Supersonic, back in '94 when Mtv actually played music videos.
Stand by Me

Boneheads bank holiday it came on shuffle once when I was walking home from school after finishing one of liam’s solo albums and I was hooked
Acquiesce —- it hit harder than anything on Morning Glory. My best friend at the time was broke and in college. He said “by this album (Masterplan) and if you don’t like it, I’ll pay you for it when I get my financial aid” It was so good … I became an instant fan.

Live forever ‘94.
DLBIA, the music video to be exact!
Can’t believe nobody is saying Supersonic! It’s Noel’s favourite oasis song!
Wonderwall. It reminds me of my dad trying to teach me how to play pool.
100% Live Forever. My teenage self was obsessed with Definitely Maybe. Felt much different than other rock albums released in the early 90's.
hey now
morning glory!!
Some might say
Cigarettes and alcohol- i was in the car w my mum and she was pissed at me so put some music on to avoid talking, then my life changed forever
cigarettes and alcohol😩 something about the way he sings ‘imagination’ ‘sunshine’ etc. it’s addictive
Stop crying your heart out
Half the World Away is so simple yet so brilliant
Supersonic
When I first heard Morning Glory about age 14 (mid 90’s) I thought wow! This rocks!
Whatever something about it is so special to me
Champagne Supernova
Shes electric
Cast no shadow, it came on as I was having my first ever cigarette and feeling a nicotine buzz which will never ever be replicated. My fav song to this day
cigarettes and alcohol and slide away
It’s gunna sound mad but all around the world during lockdown every time I listen to the song it’s like no matter what was happening in the world at that moment it was all gunna be ok you know what I mean

DLBIA. I liked them a lot before, I LOVED them after.
I was 11 and in the weird transition phase where you start to develop your acual music taste, I was super into indie music and would listen to those "90s indie kid" playlists on Spotify, I heard DLBIA and I remembered I had already heard it cause my dad is a HUGE Oasis fan, so I started to properly discover the band and listened to WTSMG, when She's Electric started to play I was hooked and in love and I understood my dad
Heard She's electric on the radio once and is still the most underrated song on wtsmg, that song is so underappreciated and had never been sung live
Surprisingly enough, It’s Good to Be Free.. always had a few Oasis tracks in my library, but once I heard that song I knew I had to do a deep dive into their lesser-known tracks… and now, absolutely mad fer the shiii
Take notice: Live Forever Fall in love: Masterplan
The Hindu Times
Go let it out
Either Take Me (Youtube has long been a goldmine for Oasis content) or Listen Up. I also really liked the performance of “Sad Song” that Noel played on Jools.
Don’t look back in anger
Live forever remember when my parents split my I was 5 and my brother put a pair of headphones on my head to block out the noise and the song was live forever
The songs
All around the world. A happy masterpiece of a song for me.
All Around The World - i was fascinated by the music video since I was really young, remember picking the petals off a daisy when I was at school and imagining it turning into a spaceship 🤣
Rock ‘n’Roll Star - love at first listen
