It's difficult IMO. Wonderwall made them famous and I think people underrate how many people know Wonderwall (the same as everybody know the drum of We Will Rock You). But it's never in my top 10 of Oasis songs. Don't Look Back in Anger got me into Oasis, and I think the chorus of Don't Look Back in Anger is better than Wonderwall. That's why I chose for Don't Look Back in Anger.

DLBIA 2000 to 2005.
Actually, this is perhaps one of my favorite DLBIA performances. I personally hate the FTM gig, but this is just fucking epic. So much passion from Noel, the band, and the fans alike make it the perfect embodiment for Oasis and what they stood for. Top.

First live Oasis video I ever watched. This is probably the best version of it done live. Way too emotional and powerful.

Don't Look Back in Anger 2000-2005
There is so much power and a beautiful blend of melancholy & happiness that the electric version possesses that you can't quite get with the acoustic version, or with Wonderwall in ANY version. Wonderwall's a great song, and it made them millions, but it just doesn't top DLBIA.

Don't Look Back In Anger - River Plate stadium 2009 This. There were tears in his eyes, I've never seen him being emotionally moved to that degree by an audience reaction before or ever since.

Even people who don't like Oasis have discussed this a million times.
Anyway, I'm going for Don't Look Back In Anger. Wonderwall is one of the most overrated songs in history.

Is this even a real question?
DLBIA by MILES,and I'd go with the 2000-2005 electric version,even though I love the acoustic one as well

In the studio, Wonderwall.
Live, Don't Look Back In Anger.

Noel does both songs better live honestly. Although a Liam Gallagher 95' vocal on DLBIA would be interesting to hear.
Anyway perhaps the most accurate way to put it is:
To a fan that very casually listens to Oasis: Probably Wonderwall to them. To a fan that listens to Oasis more frequently and is more familiar with their sound: DLBIA by far.
But yeah, I'm all for DLBIA anyway.

Would never have thought it years ago, but I love Wonderwall, and it tops Don't Look Back In Anger for me these days. I was never that keen on Wonderwall, and it was never a reason why I became a fan of Oasis but over the years (and for an Oasis forum it doesn't really get talked about for such a massive tune) - and most recently - it has dawned on me what a great song it is. Everything about it is perfect - its probably the most infectious rhythm you could ever get and surely the most noticeable song on an acoustic guitar. I love Alan White's drumming, and those cellos in the background (actually an e-bow would you believe!) makes the tune even more brooding. And final praise goes to Liam's vocals. I'm always reminded of Cast telling me some years back what was great about his vocals on this after I stated I wasn't much a fan of this particular performance. And over the years, I have come to agree. As usual, Cast is spot on because his vocals are so unique in that they are very sharp and harsh in its enunciation, giving the tune more attack and verve as opposed to a softer singer (also helped by the brickwalling production technique). And what's more, Liam's voice never seeps into gooey sentimentality where 99% of other singers would have approached it. It's a song that deserves Liam's treatment in particular, because Noel's songwriting is restrained and it never descends into farcical latter-Coldplay type hollow bombast. It's emotional, but not too emotional, and it's all the more sincere for it. Everyone who was involved in the recording of this song got it perfect. It's no wonder its one of the most popular songs of all time.

Recently, I prefer Wonderwall tbh.
But my opinion changes often with all Oasis tunes.

It's no wonder its one of the most popular songs of all time. I remember this! Thanks for the compliments as well. Always a great read from you. I've maybe listened to Wonderwall once this year, and despite nearly 20 years of overplaying it still doesn't change the fact that its pretty much a perfect and unique pop song. I will say its probably the most strummed song on the acoustic guitar since its been released because of its easy chord progression and infectious rhythm. The sentiment of Wonderwall has gotten cliched overtime but when you actually listen to it without out the cultural BS that is attached to it, its actually a really haunting and even cryptic tune.

Whilst I would still give DLBIA the edge over Wonderwall (to me, DLBIA is pretty much the perfect pop tune and Noel's vocals never again sounded so utterly gorgeous), I would agree that Wonderwall IS a fantastic song regardless of how often it's been played and that a lot of that comes from Liam's vocal. It transcends the expected norms of balladry. Like you, the tune has only gotten better and better for me. I steered clear of it for a little while because everyone always seemed to tell me to, but dammit, it's a perfectly crafted, perfectly executed classic that almost everyone from Toronto to Timbuktu knows the words to, twenty years after it was first released. And in another twenty years, that fact will still remain.

On record it's definitely Wonderwall for me, live I'd say DLBIA just JUST pips it. DLBIA at TITP 2012 was one of the best moments of my life.

And in another twenty years, that fact will still remain. I fully agree in that Liam's vocals on this track are absolutely great and that it is an overall great song. However, the only thing that kills it to me is that in later years, Liam was far from consistent in singing it live and it progressively became a little bit odd to listen to from 2004 onwards. Whenever you listened to it from that year onward live, it just seemed like a huge shadow of what it used to be. Almost became difficult to listen to at times (Glasto 2004, Most of the DBTT tour) Where as Noel essentially sounds the same in 2015 as he did in 1995 when he sings DLBIA. Still, both are great songs in their own right, but I prefer DLBIA.

Don't look back in anger
But Wonderwall is so underrated, on here and in general. It's very famous, but people don't tend to see what a marvellous song it is. 'There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how' - Noel genuinely taps into something that resonates with all of is with remarkable precision. And this version, this fucking version, is breathtaking. It's a rock and roll song, a goddamn rock and roll song
