List starts with Magic Pie... wanted to stop reading... not a chance in hell that song is the worst one recorded by Oasis. Most of the bottom 50 are songs that casuals would never have heard before. Demos and the like.
111: The Turning 109: Aint Got Muffins 105: The Cage 104: Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is 92: Keep The Dream Alive 86: Can'Y See It Now? 79: She Is Love (I like this one more than most on here, but...) 62: Street Fighting Man (dreadful cover honestly)
56/ All Around The World (Reprise) (1997) The finest piece of classical music ever written. Fuck you, Beethoven.
The top 50 ain't too bad, mostly just a matter of preference when it comes to absolute classics, but I want whatever drugs this guy is on.
Must be a riot!

Respect to Tom for ranking so many songs but god that's a terrible, terrible list. I don't even know where to begin.

I know it says "every song ever recorded" but there's really no point in including the covers...

Haven’t looked through it myself yet. Now where is Magic Pie...? Oh. It was, I think, my friend Hamish who I once spent some time pondering the improbability of a band like Oasis existing. You’ve got these two brothers, sharing a room in a council house in Manchester, in the late ’80s and early ’90s. There’s Noel, on the top bunk, oblivious to the fact that the annoying little twat underneath him is the best singer of his generation. There’s Liam, on the bottom bunk, oblivious to the fact that the annoying slightly older twat above him is the best songwriter of his generation. And then somehow, because of fate or luck or magic or witchcraft, they work it out, and they form Oasis. What, actually, are the chances of that happening? One in a million? One in a trillion? One in a billion? No idea. But thank God it did, because I have no idea who else would’ve guided me through life from my mid-teens onwards. It’s sad, obviously, that Liam and Noel don’t talk anymore. But look at everything they’ve done and said and sung and drunk and snorted and played and filmed and sold together. Maybe there’s only so much intensity one relationship can handle. Their legacy, though, is epic. Untouchable maybe.www.nme.com/features/maybe-definitely-every-song-oasis-ever-recorded-ranked-order-greatness-2488711

That list is bobbins. But the intro paragraph is PWOPA mega.

so, that guy doing this list, believes that noel borrowed from "love spreads", which was released in '94, for writing "strange thing", which was written sometime in '92 or '93?
yeah, "super" fan tom howard.

"and also for the way LG sings, “that’s what you get for writing for the NME”, the way he holds his pint of Guinness and the way, at the 4.03 mark, he goes “into my big mouth, you could fly… A BLEEDIN’ CONCORD”. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the man’s a genius."

I know Liam would change things up live a fair bit, but come on.

But is Liam a genius though? It wasn’t clear.
