Every Oasis Single Ranked (Feat James C From The Oasis Podcast) 

Rockin Chair not that strong? You’re crazy man! One of Liam’s greatest ever vocals!

Buying an oasis single was a special time in history. Sticking it on and listening to the B-sides

as an american, i really liked the Morning Glory album I had bought at that time...........but when a friend exposed me to all the singles & b sides - blown away & became as big of an Oasis fan in America as could be. I remember listening to Listen Up (guess i was followed orders well) over & over again. And being so excited that I now had a recording of the awesome songs I didn't recognize at their concert (Acquiesce & Whatever). Blown away, and I didn't even like some of the most revered b sides in Talk Tonight & Masterplan. Quality is rightfully valued in music - but quantity is usually overlooked. For a band to dump that many great songs on its fans such a short timespan should really be appreciated. Awesome - and awesome video!

Heroes is better than the Bowie version?!?!?!?! You lost it there James, lad. 😂

Sunday Morning Call was and is my favorite on SOTSOG, so yeah... I’m one of those lol

26:09 loved Stand By Me. I am so happy that Liam is singing it in his live sets and even Noel did a version of it 2022 at the Royal Albert Hall for Sir Peter Blake which was majestic.

First Oasis single I picked up was 'D'You Know What I Mean' in 97 and it made me go out and seek every b-side I could. Luckily I found the cigarette boxsets of DM and MG not long after! I live in Canada and hunting down the new Oasis singles became my favourite pastime in the 90s/2000s

Loved watching this mate, as a mad Oasis fan and an obsessed musician like yourself, it's cool to see so much Oasis content and especially you looking into the songs and singles as a whole package as in depth as I do/did! If you haven't already, listen to the early demo of Lock All The Doors, you'll understand My Sister Lover even more 😎.

7:58 I absolutely adore Falling Down the song. It is on my top 10 Oasis songs of all time. Such a shame Noel never performs it live.

That was a fascinating trip of Oasis besides. I loved it. Glad to see there are more Oasis fans out there. Keep on doing what you are doing mate. Keep on.

Thanks guys its so hard to put oasis tunes in a list good effort 👌

That made very interesting listening. I think all oasis fans would enjoy it because they all have emotional attachments to the songs. James' comments on the Stand by Me B sides were spot-on on my opp. My Sis Lover and Fever are real bangers while Going Nowhere breaks it up a bit by adding a more whistful dimension. I would be interested to know where James would have ranked the singles without taking the B sides into account. Great idea for a vid. Thanks, boys:)

Thanks for the video, you guys should team up to do more stuff. Now to dig out my cd singles and revisit those bsides/extra tracks

James I'm sure during Noel's childhood either in Manchester or Mayo he would of heard plenty of Irish folk songs. From time to time Noel used to perform Dirty Old Town. Great video once again.

Would you ever consider doing a ranking of every album track?

Liam Gallagher's tier list: *Biblical* - Songbird - I'm outta time *Shite* - Noel's songs

Brilliant, really enjoyed that lads, big shout out to JC for standing up for Heart of a Star ⭐ stay safe, stay young 🤜💥🤛

Fantastic video, James! You have definitely collared the mantle for best Oasis-related channel. I was wondering what you used to make this video? Did you do it over Teams and record it that way? Speaking of "Alive", I've always really liked that - it points back to Noel's earlier Manchester influences, and there's almost a New Order feel to it.

Great vid James, totally agree. Although I do have a soft spot for SOTSOG. I love the production on that album by Mike Spike Stent.

Great video and debate @James Hargreaves Guitar - How about a review of the rare Oasis singles "Champagne Supernova", (A hit in Australia & USA) and "Don't Go Away" (A hit in Canada, Japan & USA)?

Excellent vid... But gutted that you never mentioned Colombia (white label demo) off supersonic. I absolutely love how raw and powerful it is. I would love to know your opinion

Brilliant video mate! Completely agree with you about Stand By Me as well, I absolutely love all four songs and it's definitely deserving of being rated that high.

As a teenager in Manchester I grew up soaked in Oasis, Stone Roses, Cast, The Beatles, Inspiral Carpets, James, Happy Mondays etc etc and STILL to this day at 40 years old the music has the exact same effect on me as it did in 1994. I love your passion for the same kind of music James and love this channel. And I have to say now that some Oasis b-sides were better than their A-sides. I have said this for years and always will say it. From day one til their later stuff they had B-sides that astounded me...... Let's all make believe for instance..... Just WOW!!!!

Great video lads

The U.S. Wonderwall Single is a fucking banger. Basically an entire EP

I wonder what would have happened if Bring it on Down had been released as the first single, as was scheduled, instead of Supersonic?? It’s one of my favourite Oasis songs. Likewise Fade Away. I am the Walrus was recorded live at a Sony seminar instead of the Glasgow Cathouse as well !! Agree with you about Some Might Say. Especially as it’s got Headshrinker on it, which is absolutely brilliant, one of the best things they ever did. Along with Round are Way.

Such hard thing to I love Oasis great video❤️

Great video! Though I have to disagree with you on rocking chair and especially on heart of a star! Absolutely majestic number.

Excellent discussion and I’m reminded of B sides I’d forgotten!

Great video

they couldnt do 4 songs per single after 1998 because the single charts changed the rules and said artists could only have 3

What an amazing band they were, I agree with the order but I do love shaker maker it’s my first memory of oasis, nostalgia colouring my judgment probably.

another cracking vid

Nice one boys fair enjoyed that and can’t disagree with too much of it, although if you’re going to put don’t look back in anger in slot one I’m afraid I would have to put some might say in front, just because it was their first number one and the b sides are just amazing!

Enjoyable watch but your slanderous take on Columbia at barrowlands has shook me!😂 One of my favourite versions.

I'm inside the first minute of this video. Dig Out Your Soul is my favorite record and I love the 3 singles of that album. All though the songs that were left off are fucking amazing. The Boy with the Blues, I Believe In All, Those Swollen Hand Blues, Do you wanna live in a dream (in my record machine) which Liam was supposed to sing. Some of these tracks should have replaced the second side of Dig Out Your Soul but I still love this album.

19:15 I love Rockin Chair. When Liam was singing that in 2017 in that Radio X concert, almost made me tear up. I think they should have done it acoustic.

Cigarettes and alcohol with im the walrus, listen up and fade away Some Might Say with Acquiesce, Headshrinker and Talk tonight. My two favorite

We need this video about The Cranberries

Shout it out loud is amazing for me. I just love it

The Masterplan is their greatest song ever.

23:35 thats Columbia from the Barrowlands 2001 set right? I thought that was one of the best versions of that song.

Wow rocking chair really surprised me! I think that’s an outstanding track but each to his own.

I don’t know why, but I love shout it out loud. It’s so good, I don’t know why I love it but it’s just awesome, and makes the single really good.

The other Guy saying Cigs & Alc really grated on me. Apart from that, a good watch 👍🏻

"The Masterplan" compilation always felt weird to me. Not only was it quite redundant, but some choices are debatable. As you pointed out, the absence of "It's Better People" is completely unfair when "The Swamp Song" is on there...The one decision I'll never understand is why they decided to shorten "I Am The Walrus". The noise freakout at the end with Noel playing with feedback and guitar effects is essential. It's a bit I would crank up. I bet some people don't even know that the version on "The Masterplan" is incomplete in comparison to what had been released before. With a collection clocking at 66 minutes, it could have included "It's Better People" AND the full "I Am The Walrus"...

They never did 4 songs on a single again cuz there's actually a law in England limiting the length of CD Singles that went into effect in 1999. Three tracks a single or some minute cap they put on it. That's why the singles got progressively shorter

You get Oasis, who dumped around nearly 50 songs on their fans in three years (1994-97) including three albums and twenty or so b sides, and then you get Adele, as well as many others, who take five to six years to put out ten tracks!!!

I would argue that the remix of Falling Down is more interesting than the actual recorded version. It's an actual reworking of the song and not like on the case of I'm outta time and it's remix

James C is very keen to put all the songs at least a tier higher than they could be

I love rocking chair mate Liam sounds epic on it

Stand by me was the first Oasis song I learnt on guitar aswell.....👍🏻

I always consider Yove Got The Heart Of A Star as a Christmas song. I only listen to it around Christmas, it's the brass salvation army vibe I think

I’m the Twat who says DYKWIM is a single because it WAS a single when it was released

Got to admit, my most played single is "stand by me". Played it to death!

How did you see how many plays a song has on Spotify?

Stand by me was the first song I learned on guitar aswell James....aged 14

Cigarettes and Alcohol, Whatever, Some Might Say, Wonderwall, Go Let It Out and D’you Know what I mean are the best singles out there with biblical b-sides! I’ll put Some Might Say at Number 1, easy.

The B-side to The Importance of Being Idle, "Pass me Down the Wine" is one of their best b sides imo, written by LG if I'm not mistaken

The ambient start of swollen hand blues is the end of mucky fingers 😉

It has to be " shakermaker" for me coming from burnage myself , It just makes me feel so proud inside.

Only thing I would have said is Step Out with Liams vocals could have been one of their better if not best B-side’s. Few disagreements here and there but other than that but brilliant on the whole

Totally agree with James on Rockin' Chair.

Some Might Say and Whatever are the two greatest Oasis singles for me. Who Feels Love should have been in the middle of pretty good and I would have had Roll With It in biblical due to the b-sides!

I couldn't agree more with this statement 21:10 Also regarding 30:10, I had a couple friends who never liked Oasis but liked Sunday Morning Call. We know Noel hates it and never plays it so it almost feels like a song by another band to me. 35:30 Those play stats on Spotify are telling sometimes. The Whatever single has 55 million plays vs well over 73 million for Half the world away which was the b side.

Acquiesce, Listen Up, It's Good to be Free, Rockin' Chair... The very best of the 90s!

Great video and agree with most but saying the Oasis version of Heroes is better than Bowie???? What were you smoking?

Biblicals: Cigarettes and Alcohol 10, Wonderwall 10, Some Might Say 10, Whatever 9.5, Live Forever 9.5 Mad Fer It: Don't Look Back In Anger 8.5, Supersonic 8.5, Roll With It 8, Stand By Me 8 Lyla 8 Pretty Good: D'You Know What I Mean 7/8 All Around The World 7/8, The Importance Of Being Idle 7.5, Shakermaker 7.5, Who Feels Love 7.5, Little By Little/She Is Love 7, The Shock Of The Lightning 7 Could Be Better: Stop Crying Your Heart Out 6.5, Stop The Clocks 6.5 Songbird 6.5, Let There Be Love 6, Sunday Morning Call 6, The Hindu Times 6, Lord Don't Slow Me Down 5.5 Other Singles from Dig Out Your Soul 5 Shite: Don't Stop 4.5 (You Forgot Don't Go Away Single: 8!)

What annoyed me with later Oasis singles (from the 00’s) was as the chart rules changed, they did less tracks for b-sides. And so many of these weren’t very great or were live tracks or re-mixes. It would’ve been great if every Oasis single had 3 b-sides, 2 of which being new songs. But hey, didn’t happen and Noel would hate me for this post! Love both of your enthusiasm for Oasis. My fave band!

Based on the actual song and only the song, then The Hindu Times and Shock Of The Lightning would be Biblical for me. Two of the best songs ever by Oasis

11:44 another song that I am pissed off that Liam does not sing live. Its unbelievably great song. And Liam with his rejuvenated voice, would absolutely kill it.

Great video dudeeeee! Should make one of Stereophonics by the way, they´re great too Greetings :)

absolutely love oasis but there’s NO way their cover of street fighting man is better than the original & that’s a fkn CRAZY statement to make

12:34 I tbh disagree I heard parts of that gig months ago when I was first getting into Oasis and I always liked it, I think it the early parts of the DBTT tour Liam sounded pretty good, his voice while knackered went well with the music and I'd take a a recording from that Manchester gig over most of the Heathen Chemistry tour.

Those Swollen Hand Blues intro has The Outro of Mucky Fingers.

I am bit surprised. Didn't Dont Go Away and Where Did It All Go Wrong? have an EP as well?

2:06 flashbax deserved a bit more of a mention! Great tune.

another great video james, apart from your shout about heroes cover being better than bowie haha

24:46 have to disagree completely. Maybe the Columbia live version is a bit suspect, but You've Got the Heart of A Star is a great song and Liam sings Songbird really well

I have to disagree with you about Columbia - Live, that is easily one of their best performances of that song and the ending is mega where they’re both shouting the “Yeah yeah yeah” bit P.s : i think this is mainly because i much prefer the rasp of liams voice from about 97 onwards

I pretty much agree with this.

That Rockin' Chair take is criminal.

Why isn’t Champaign Supernova on this list? Same with Don’t Go Away or Morning Glory?

I don't get the drums on Columbia comment. Alan White's a metronome throughout. The vocals are out as is some of Noels lead but the drums are hypnotic.

20:11 yeah Noel's acoustic sets with High Flying Birds for D'Ya Wanna Be A Spaceman? is better

Good video but like...falling down is a great song. Literally a different level of songwriting

Another Sunday Morning Caller here, haha... Straight S Tier, sorry - and from the moment I first heard it! 🤷‍♂ (Kind of a strange phenomenon we've got here!)

I like the wonderwall single for round our way love that song

Swollen Hand Blues is hidden on Don’t Believe The Truth 😉

Spot on about ‘Lord don’t slow me down’ Liams version is far superior

For Me the Best Oasis singles are Cigs n Alcohol (Fade Away Listen Up Iam The Walrus) Whatever (Good To Be Free Half The World Away Slide Away) Some Might Say (Acquiesce Talk Tonight Headshrinker)!! Then you've got W, DLBIA, DYKWIM?, SBMn GLIO. The worst is again for me Sunday Morning Call, even Noel put it as a hidden track on Time Flies its That Bad!! Cheers

Stay young, shout it out loud, one way road, full on

Songbird is one of those songs you burn onto a CD-R for your significant other. I'd also place it fairly low to be honest 😆

I agree with you on Rockin Chair but Heart of a Star is great. Oh well.

This was proper interesting, although I think D'You Know What I Mean should be below Live Forever

You guys might enjoy a playlist i created on my channel "this is oasis" What i consider some of their best performances.

hello please explain me what mean bliblical in oasis ??

Noooooo James I bloody love Rockin Chair

26:57 Going Nowhere❤

Alive is an underrated b side
