It is clear that the Rock band Oasis really cares about their fans. In fact, not only have they been reissuing many of their releases with remastered tracks and extra goodies included, but they have also invested time and effort into their Oasis 2025 Reunion Tour to feature this playlist on Spotify. Yes, this is not an official album release by Oasis. Still, it is the closest listening experience that one can have, provided that you missed out on getting an actual ticket to see the legendary group. Focusing mostly on their hits so far, this is mainly based on their first two albums: Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995), with a few extra rarities thrown in for good measure. Notably, no songs from their later-day 2000s era releases are present, with the exception of Little By Little from their 2002 album Heathen Chemistry. Oasis on the tour are: Liam Gallagher (vocals); Noel Gallagher (guitars and vocals); Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs (guitars); Gem Archer (guitars); Andy Bell (bass guitar), and Joey Waronker (drums). Let’s take a listen to this online playlist, and we shall hear where it takes us.

1. Hello is from the (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? 1995 album release. It begins with some nicely played acoustic guitar and birds chirping away, before quickly launching into heavy guitars and bombastic drumming. This is a superb song about detesting someone very close to you. All in all, this is a fantastic and goosebump-inducing tune that sounds brilliant. Liam Gallagher sings very well, like the Rock God that he is. An absolutely fantastic song that is a great, rhythmic and wonderful listening experience throughout. A superb and iconic song that deserves your attention, again and again. Although this is not the live version of the song (it is the album version), drummer Alan White put a heck of a lot of effort into this tune. Absolutely top to hear. Just wonderful music. A real joy.

2. Acquiesce is from The Masterplan (1998) compilation. It begins with the demo of Morning Glory being played with the iconic guitar riffs and backwards talk, before launching into a fantastic and euphoric music statement that is unforgettable upon hearing. An absolute joy of a song, and likely written by Noel Gallagher about his brother Liam Gallagher in mind. Regardless of the intent, this sounds absolutely loud, powerful and fantastic to listen to. Liam sings the main verses, whilst Noel Gallagher sings the chorus on this one. This is more euphoric and fantastic than popping a great Ecstasy pill; it just simply works. The Gallagher brothers do their best to entertain and surprise you from start to finish in their songs. A cool and awesome listen that is super solidly fantastic. Noel and Liam Gallagher celebrate life itself on this song. A great, great listen throughout. Worth it from start to finish. This soars above any contemporary music today. It ends appropriately with the outro being mixed over the Morning Glory demo.

3. Morning Glory is from (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995). It begins with helicopter sounds and launches into guitar riffs and electronics galore. This sounds a bit eerie, but nonetheless, it launches right into the Oasis song at hand. It sounds absolutely fantastic and is a great tune. Yes, this is partially about taking illicit drugs (i.e. cocaine), but all in all, it’s a winner of a tune. The music, melodies and rhythm all sound ingenious and absolutely fantastic to hear. The chorus in particular is upbeat, and Liam Gallagher sings beautifully on this song. A pounding, pulsating piece of musical energy, this is most definitely a must-listen from Oasis. “All your dreams are made…when you’re chained to the mirror and the razor blade…” is a fantastic lyrical example that proves the genius and brilliance of Noel Gallagher himself. A fun listening experience that sounds moving, motivating and above all, listenable. The outro builds up in a sense of frenzy and is absolutely awesome to listen to. A seriously awesome tune, you may as well listen to this gem. The outro is sublime.

4. Some Might Say is also from (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995) It begins with a mammoth guitar riff and launches into a seriously sweet-sounding tune that, although it sounds euphoric, is actually lyrically full of doubt and despair. This is a great listen, all the same, and it sounds unique, groovy and powerful to listen to. All in all, this music is supercharged and wonderfully fantastic. This leads into a fantastic chorus that has Liam Gallagher hitting the high notes in his singing voice very nicely indeed. All in all, a seriously awesome tune that deserves to be put on repeat listening. This music is magical, unique and powerful throughout. It also reflects a happier time in the history of the world, before the 21st century dawned, causing a lot of problems for much of humankind. In any case, this is a fantastic tune to listen to from start to finish. It has Noel Gallagher crafting a gorgeous song with the band playing along very nicely. All in all, a really cool listening experience that sounds absolutely wonderful to hear. The outro is extremely catchy as well. Worth hearing from start to finish. Sublime.

5. Bring It On Down is from Definitely Maybe (1994) and is a bit of an odd choice on this tracklist. In any case, it is a good song. Likely the closest that Oasis ever got to Punk Music, this sounds powerful, energetic and wonderfully supercharged. It is also likely the best drumming that Tony McCarroll ever did, sadly enough. Liam Gallagher’s singing is fantastic on this track, and he sounds aggressive and pitch-perfect on this tune. This is an absolutely awesome song to listen to, and the midsection is absolutely fantastic to hear. A top-notch listen throughout, this is exactly what fans of Oasis will long to hear on their tour set. Nice song to hear, and this is very much in the vein of the Sex Pistols. Awesome music. The long outro has guitar solos galore to boot.

6. Cigarettes & Alcohol is also from Definitely Maybe (1994). It begins with some audible hiss, heavy guitar riffs and launches into a powerful and bombastic tune to listen to. A really great song, even if it borrows the guitar riff from T. Rex. In any case, Oasis do absolutely marvellously on this song, and this is a near-perfect listening experience throughout. This sounds absolutely majestic in a way, although it is loud, driven and heavy rock to boot. The music and sounds are very, very pure to listen to. It builds up and releases in a set of crazy climaxes. “Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there’s nothing worth working for?” is a fantastic lyric by Noel Gallagher, sung by brother Liam, of course. All in all, a sweeping music statement that sounds great from start to finish. A fantastic song that deserves to be in your own Spotify playlist. An absolute winner. The guitars at the end are awesome, in a very Sex Pistols way.

7. Fade Away is from The Masterplan (1998). It begins with loud and overdriven electric guitars, and launches into a fast, Punk-like, aggressive number. This is an absolutely awesome listen about the changes in one’s life that occur as people get older. Liam Gallagher literally sneers throughout this song, and his voice is extremely nasal to listen to. A really great tune to listen to, which has been reinterpreted many times by Oasis over the years. A winner of a song that deserves to be heard more often by Oasis fans. “While we’re living, the dreams we have as children fade away…” is a melancholy reflection on life itself. Great song, no doubt. A killer tune. The riffing at the end is monumental.

8. Supersonic is from Definitely Maybe (1994). It is the band’s first single. It launches with some awesome yet simple drumming, guitar riffs aplenty and enters into an era-defining music statement. The opening lyric line, “I need to be myself, I can’t be no one else”, is bang on the money. Noel Gallagher obviously knew how to write great songs, and by this point in 1994, Oasis were ready to conquer the world of music. This song is a monumental listening experience that captures the essence of youthful life and puts it into a musical form. A seriously great song that still sounds amazing, to this very day. The sounds and music throughout are supercharged. All in all, a monster of a track that is iconic, powerful and memorable. A really great song from start to finish, supersonic indeed. The guitar solo that this song concludes with is gorgeous.

9. Roll With It is from (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995). It is the band’s first UK #1 as well. It begins with overdriven guitars, pounding drums and launches into a sweet and upbeat tune that is absolutely awesome listening. A very nice song, which shows the sensitive side of the Gallagher brothers overall. This music is top-notch, and details youthful romanticism at large. This is a fantastic song to listen to, which never gets old. The midsection has a loud and overdriven guitar fuzz solo that sounds different. For anyone who has fallen in love before, this is a song you need to hear. An absolute winner of a four-minute-long Pop song. The outro is brilliant as well, and Alan White drums like a beast. Fantastic. It ends with Noel coughing.

10. Talk Tonight is from The Masterplan (1998). It has a brief introduction, launching into a fantastic acoustic guitar-based piece, which sounds really great to hear. Noel Gallagher sings deeply, romantically and emotionally about a personal relationship with a lady who saved his life. Bear in mind that this is likely a true story as well. In any case, this is an extraordinarily gorgeous and sing-along tune that deserves your attention throughout. There is a magnificent chorus, followed by an organ part to match the beautiful acoustic guitars and gentle handclaps. Noel Gallagher is a genius. Period. All in all, this is a sweet and fantastic song, which YouTuber James Hargreaves has some genuine insight into. A lovely listen from start to finish, and an extraordinary piece of music. Noel Gallagher shines bright on this song. Fantastic, once again. A majestic song that ends with some interesting tapping on the body of the acoustic guitar.

11. Half The World Away is also from The Masterplan (1998). It begins with some dialogue, launching quickly into another extraordinarily wonderful and upbeat song sung by Noel Gallagher. This song is a great musing on life itself, and points out that Noel Gallagher had, from a very young age, musical talent that nobody else could match. A fantastic and monumental song that, again, makes sense given the chaotic environment early Oasis was in. The acoustic guitar playing, clean electric guitars, organ and simple drumming make this tune sound really lively. A fantastic listen throughout, showcasing the desire for Noel Gallagher to get out and explore the world itself. Fun and catchy listening, with a classic lyric line that sums it all up: “I’ve been lost, I’ve been found…but I don’t feel down”. That makes the song a fantastic listen. Outstanding from start to finish. It ends with a fade out of most of the instrumentation, before concluding with the organ.

12. Little By Little is from Heathen Chemistry (2002). It begins with some nicely strummed acoustic guitar, semi-Psychedelic production and launches into a fantastic song sung again by Noel Gallagher. He sounds fantastic on this song, and he provides some logical insight and wisdom about life itself. The chorus in particular is a great listen if you can’t Stop Crying Your Heart Out and life is hitting you for six. “True perfection has to be imperfect, I know that sounds foolish, but it’s true…” is one of the most logical lyrics known to humankind. This is an emotionally powerful and pretty song that deserves repeat listens. Luckily for Oasis fans, Noel himself is playing this one on the tour. The guitar solo in this recording is absolutely fantastic and a real winner. One can remain forever grateful for songs such as this one. A pretty and outstanding song that questions one’s existence. The outro is very pretty and wonderful, and it takes one’s mind to a higher level. Awesome.

13. D’You Know What I Mean? oddly enough is from the 1997 album release Be Here Now, which is a strange addition by Oasis on their tour. In any case, it begins with the sound of an aeroplane landing, followed by some tripped-out sounds, including Morse code. Guitars enter, and this detailed piece of music gets going. Drums follow, and this experimental electronic piece of music finally gets going. It has an N.W.A. drum loop from Straight Outta Compton with a ton of wall-of-sound, along with Liam Gallagher singing nicely over it all. This is indeed a fantastic song that deserves to be heard more often. As the song progresses, it launches into a euphoric bridge to hear, and it sounds giant and glorious. The louder this song is played (and the Be Here Now album, for the matter), the better it is. A very sing-along tune, and a rather unorthodox one at that. This has so much going on in it that it is difficult not to play it loud. Liam Gallagher sings like an absolute boss on this song, and utilises his emotional John Lennon/John Lydon halfway house voice to full effect. A great song to listen to, and certainly something to look forward to hearing on the Oasis Reunion ’25 Tour. Ironically, this is on the setlist, given how much Noel himself dislikes Be Here Now. The guitar solo is also very insane to listen to on this tune. A fantastic listen from start to finish, it wraps up eventually with the chorus and a monstrous amount of overdubs galore. The outro has a ton of guitars and other loops, including loud feedback. Not bad for a song that lasts nearly eight minutes in length by Oasis.

14. Stand By Me is also from the Be Here Now (1997) album. It begins with a descending guitar note leading into feedback, before kicking in with some nice guitar chords and some punchy drumming. Liam Gallagher sings nicely on this tune, and he articulates his voice very well indeed. A really dramatic and fantastic-sounding tune to listen to. This is one of the better played and structured pieces of music from the Be Here Now era. Nonetheless, this has many dramatic production values to it all, including a neat string section. Again, the louder this song is, the better it sounds. A great and grand tune that is a fun sing-along piece as well. This music will definitely Live Forever. This has some great and nicely layered sounds that do not fail to disappoint on this song. The musicianship present on this song is second to none. In any case, this does feel a little repetitive, but it works a treat nonetheless. The bridge between the choruses in the second half sounds fantastic. A truly awesome listening experience, and totally worth your listening time. An essential tune that ends with some chaotic-sounding overdriven guitars.

15. Cast No Shadow is from the (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995) album. It begins with some nicely strummed acoustic guitar, clean slide guitar and launches into a fantastic-sounding piece of music that still sounds really amazing today. Liam Gallagher sings about being trapped in life, and this has some real resonance as a song. A lovely, wonderful and beautiful sounding tune with drummer Alan White giving a career-defining moment, this is a legendary listening experience. The music, production and songwriting all complement each other nicely upon listening. This sounds like Noel Gallagher has lived many lives on this planet and understands the importance of meaningful songwriting. This song is a little repetitive, admittedly. For all that, it does sound really great to listen to, all the same. A sweet, sensitive and soulful song about hitting rock bottom. Great to hear from start to finish.

16. Slide Away is from Definitely Maybe (1994). It has some awesome guitars to begin with, launching into a mammoth-sized Rock song that sounds absolutely breathtaking. This song is about relationships in particular, and it sounds pretty, emotional and impressive. Liam Gallagher delivers one of the best vocal performances of his lifetime on this particular song. He sounds so passionate and proves that he wasn’t as stupid as a rip-off of The Beatles; on the contrary, he has his own singing voice. A fantastic listening experience that makes you want to own a copy of Definitely Maybe and celebrate life as it is. The guitar solo is also impressive on this song. Nonetheless, a sweet and lovable tune that has a really sensitive character to it all. Liam Gallagher delivers a fantastic vocal, certainly the best and most impressive of this era. This song is a must listen for all Oasis fans out there today. The extended outro in the second half is pretty. An absolute winner of a song. Period. The vocal parts by Noel and Liam at the end are fantastic, as is the music. Sweet. It fades out nicely.

17. Whatever is taken from the Whatever (1994) EP. It begins with some nicely strummed acoustic guitar, string sections and enters into a very iconic song by Oasis. Liam Gallagher sings in a changing voice that is halfway between Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995). This is a simple, pretty and poetic tune that is seriously euphoric and uplifting throughout. The music and performances on this tune are really sweet and heartfelt to listen to. The bridge section and music throughout are also fantastic. This proves that Noel Gallagher and Oasis were truly onto something amazing back in the 1990s, and they all deserve credit where due for making outstanding music. If anything, this song is designed to put a smile on your face. A really awesome and pleasant listen. If you haven’t heard this yet, go and do so today. The second half of the track is a string-driven Rock instrumental that sounds absolutely pretty. A very lovely tune to listen to. It gradually winds down and ends with the group cheering, applauding and shouting. Excellent work.

18. Live Forever is from Definitely Maybe (1994). It begins with a loud tom-tom drumbeat and launches into a sweet and gorgeously iconic 1990s song to boot. Liam Gallagher sings in a powerful, emotional and fantastic way on this song. A true music classic of the 1990s. This is a moody song that has some of the best-written lyrics ever done, matched to fantastic music to boot. The guitar solo is sweet and fantastic as well, with some of the best neck pickup tones that you will ever hear. Noel Gallagher deserves serious credit for making these songs by Oasis. Nonetheless, if you need a five-minute dose of Oasis, this is it. A fantastic listen from start to finish. The guitar solo that concludes this song is ghostly.

19. Rock ‘N’ Roll Star is the opening track from Definitely Maybe (1994). It begins with some scorching guitars that verge on feedback, launching into a loud, powerful and fantastic song. This was likely exactly what Noel and Liam Gallagher had in mind early on in life. Hence, this song. Some iconic lyrics are present, and Liam sings them perfectly. An exciting, melodic and dramatic song that kickstarted the 1990s in the best way possible. This is still musically relevant today, and it sounds amazing and absolutely awesome to listen to. The sounds and music on this tune are simply what Rock and Roll Music should essentially be. A joyous ode to superstardom in itself. The guitar solo on this song is excellent as well. A fantastic and inspired listen for all Rock Music fans, and a song that all Oasis fans should be familiar with. A very inspired song with a different outro that shows an unusual side of Oasis. “It’s just Rock and Roll” is repeatedly sung at the end, which sums it all up. Brilliant.

20. The Masterplan is from the 1998 album The Masterplan. This song is so good that it deserves as much praise as it gets. It has a nice count-in, followed by strummed acoustic guitars, guitar harmonics and sounds absolutely awesome to hear. The music that plays is absolutely amazing and sounds very near perfect. Noel Gallagher sings beautifully on this song, and he sounds like an absolute legend. This is fantastically written, produced and arranged, and is a song that has definitely stood the test of time. A very lovely and pretty listen. The backwards guitar solos are very enjoyable, and look back to the likes of The Beatles album Revolver (1966). A truly fantastic song, and something absolutely worth listening to. This has to be one of the top five Oasis songs of all time. Period. An absolutely amazing song. It has a gorgeous extended guitar solo section that sounds neat, with various production techniques and sounds that are brilliant. It concludes with the intro being played again, with a twist and an obvious reference to The Beatles Octopus’s Garden. Fantastic.

21. Don’t Look Back In Anger is from (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995). It begins with a piano intro lifted from John Lennon’s Imagine song, and it transitions into a fantastic and enjoyable song that sounds uplifting. An absolutely wonderful song to listen to. Noel Gallagher really comes into his own with his singing on this song. A totally enjoyable and listenable song that does sound like a great deal of musical sense to hear. A really moving and interesting song with many twists and turns throughout. This music is definitely worth exploring. It gradually builds up in intensity and listening throughout. Noel really comes into his own on this track, and he sounds spirited and lively. An absolutely awesome song to listen to and to appreciate. This music is fantastic, with a very awesome guitar solo, followed by a drum break. Another must-listen piece by Oasis, with a lyrical twist right at the end of it all. A great song.

22. Wonderwall is also from (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995). It is Oasis’s most popular song. Beginning with an expertly strummed acoustic guitar, this eventually launches into a fantastic song with Liam Gallagher singing the whole song very nicely and beautifully indeed. Soon enough, a keyboard cello section and rhythm section enter, and this piece comes alive. A very lovely listen, this has some genuinely good music character to it all. Liam sings unforgettably, and Noel and Liam together, along with Oasis, were a force not to argue with. This song has some poetic lyricism to it as well. This is a gorgeous tune that makes a great impression on the listener. If you need to know one Oasis song, then this is the one to know about. A monumental and impressive listen that sounds gorgeous. The instrumental section at the end is very ghostly.

23. Champagne Supernova is the final track on this playlist and is again from (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995). It begins with the sound of rushing water, lovely guitars that are multitracked and a sense that we have something truly awesome on our hands. “How many special people change? How many lives are living strange? Where were you while we were getting high?” opens the tune, and Liam Gallagher sings with glory and confidence throughout. After the first chorus, drums enter, and this tune gets going very nicely. This is a powerful and emotionally evocative song about death and the concept of the afterlife. An absolute treat to listen to. This music sounds really top-notch, and is a loud and nicely layered song to listen to. Liam’s singing does carry it all along nicely, all the same. An absolutely wonderful and inspired listening experience that sounds really cool. This has multiple layers of instrumentation and playing that make it a must-hear throughout. For such a long tune, this never gets dull or boring throughout. This is seriously fantastic music. The harmonies in the second half are really sweet to listen to as well. This winds down gradually right towards the end of it all, and articulates the end of this part of Oasis’s journey. The glistening harmonies right near the finish are flavoursome ear candy. This ends nicely with the instrumentation playing well. Absolutely fantastic.

This should be released as a compilation album, without a doubt or question about the processes of it all, even if it focuses primarily on the first two Oasis albums. Noel and Liam Gallagher are living, breathing legends of music, and their work in Oasis should never be underestimated. Therefore, at the time of writing, this is a must hear for all music fans out there to listen to this playlist. It will never ever let you down.

Perfect music for 2025, a must hear.

10/10
