I am fortunate enough to work in a job where I get a lot of free time at work, meaning a lot of the time I spent at work I am looking for things to do. And as someone who only started getting really into Oasis over the last couple of years I was yet to hear a lot of the newer stuff post Be Here Now. I decided I was going to listen through every album over the course of a couple of months, whether I had heard them before or not, and rate every single song in order to find out what my true favourite/least favourite albums and songs were. I will then go through other songs such as B-Sides that did not make it onto The Masterplan or singles and B-Sides post The Masterplan album. Why am I doing this? To waste some time. And I figured if I am putting this much work into something Oasis related I might as well have it documented somewhere and shared with other people who may or may not be interested.
I am sure a lot of people will disagree with my opinions, I am happy to hear your opinions as well
. Keep in mind these ratings aren't 10=best song ever and 1=worst song ever. These ratings are structured with 10 meaning the best that Oasis are possibly capable of, Oasis' perfection with 1 the worst they could possibly do (there isn't a 1 or even a 2 on the list as I don't think they ever sunk that low).
So here we go, below is a list of every Oasis studio album accompanied by every song (instrumentals not included) and their ratings, followed by an average rating.
