Top 7 Oasis songs ranked - No1 may surprise you

The Gallagher brothers are soon set to take to the stage together for the first time since 2009 as Oasis host their reunion tour. The first two nights of the 41-date run of gigs kicked off at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff this weekend on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 July.

After making a spectacular comeback with two nights in Cardiff, Oasis are then set to head to Manchester for five nights at Heaton Park on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July. Their tour will then move on to five nights in London's Wembley, three dates at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh and two nights in Dublin before touring the rest of the world, before it wraps up on November 23 in São Paulo, Brazil. People all over the world are bound to know at least one of Liam and Noel's classic hits, since Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe, first dropped in August 1994. They released new music for over a decade more, with the band's last studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, being released in October 2008. But which songs actually come out on top? Critics Mark Beaumont and Roisin O'Connor shared their top hits.

7 - Rock 'n' Roll Star

Mark placed the opening track from Definitely Maybe in seventh place, as he said that the hit "never got to fulfil its original purpose". He said: "It was written as an inspirational call to arms for downtrodden Manchester dreamers aching for escape from dole-drum lives. But by the time anybody got to hear it on record, Oasis were already bona fide rock'n'roll stars, and the song instead represented the epitome of the band's bullish bravado, achieving ambitions almost as quickly as they could picture them."

6 - The Importance of Being Idle

Roisin noted that this song nods to Noel quitting his cocaine habit in 1998 while also poking some light-hearted fun at his celebrity status. She wrote: "From a songwriting standpoint, it's one of Noel's best - also containing one of the band's most killer lines, 'I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.'"

5 - Morning Glory

According to the critics, Morning Glory is one of the band's "best songs live", with them putting it down to "the snarl of the guitar and pounding drumbeat, guiding Liam in for his spectacular, hollering opening verse." They claimed it is one of the band's "spiciest" songs.

4 - The Masterplan

This hit was a B-side song, with Noel previously saying that he was "young and stupid" for making that decision. Mark described the song as: "A dolorous acoustic ballad - equal parts White Album, French chanson and Suede's Dog Man Star - gets hoisted aloft by Sgt Pepper... orchestration, a psychedelic backwards guitar solo and Noel's chorus tumbling on to glory."

3 - Don't Look Back in Anger

Don't Look Back in Anger became Oasis's second single to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart. It is one of the band's signature songs, and was played at almost every live show from its release to the dissolution of the band in 2009. Mark explained: "Noel's heartfelt terrace tribute to the ever-patient Sally; a future-facing sentiment rendered so poignant by its roar-along chorus that it was adopted as Manchester's anthem of grief in the wake of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing."

2 - Columbia

The critics explained the meaning behind the lyrics of Columbia, writing that it was "named after the London hotel they'd frequent until being banned for trashing the owners' Mercedes by dropping furniture on it from the first-floor bar". They described the hit as "virtually unmatched in Oasis's career in terms of elemental rock noise."

1 - Supersonic

While a lot of people would probably expect Wonderwall to come out on top, the music critics actually placed Supersonic in the number one spot instead (with Wonderwall not even making the list). Mark explained the reasoning, writing: "Supersonic is the best Oasis song because it's significantly more show-don't-tell.

"The song itself oozes the confidence, melodic brilliance and superstar quality their other hits often have to ram down our throats. And that it was an immediate shoo-in for their debut single the minute they wrote it is testament to how it crystallised everything great about Oasis in 1994 without even trying."
