It's the year 2021 and Oasis have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, reuniting for a performance at the ceremony.
As per the usual standard, they will have ~20 minutes to perform a set of their choosing. The concert will be televised and attended by celebrities and music industry types, particularly skewing on the older side. What should they play? (Aside from an extended, 15 minute jammed out rendition of Magic Pie, with an acapella Little James encore, of course)

It's an interesting conundrum, do they go for the big hits or should they try to show Oasis' power as rock band or a bit of both?
I would think obviously they open with Rock n Roll Star as a given.
However, I think Champagne Supernova (despite it being by far their second most popular song) in any case would have to go simply because of time constraints. There's not a great way to do that justice and still have enough other songs in a 20 minute set.
The easy route would to be then followup with:
Live Forever, Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall
This would appease the very casual fans and the general public, but would suck for most fans.
There's also a different approach.
One, I think they might take a page out of their 2007 Brit Award performance, where they do a good job of boosting the tempo slightly and trimming the songs down to ~4 minutes each and transitioning quickly which helps move the pace along and squeeze an extra song in.
Two, I can easily see is them doing, is going "fuck it" just dropping the bigger hits from the setlist ((a la some of their 2000s-era American tours and the 2002 headlining slot at Coachella).
Maybe something like this:
RNRS (5 minutes)
->
Morning Glory (4 minutes)
->
C&A (4 minutes) [with a little 1 minute Fucking in the Bushes riff jam/solo segment outro for the fans]
Brief pause for applause, Liam step back for a moment etc.
Then Noel gets the spotlight with a version of Don't Look Back in Anger (4 minutes) and then the band closes with a quick run through Acquiesce (3.5 minutes).
I think that would be about 22 -23 minutes (so maybe cut Acquiesce if you have to).

Announcer: Oasis! Crowd:*silence Announcer:The wonderwall guys! Crowd:*raucous cheering* Given some of the reactions to Liam opening for The Who (where most of the attendees didn't even seem to know Wonderwall), that may even be a bit much for the RORHOF crowd, who I imagine haven't listened to many bands that formed after 1980. |

mucky fingers
wonderwall but liam just stands at the mic and stares at the crowd and doesn't sing the entire time
don't look back in anger but noel thinks they're playing the slow acoustic version and everybody else thinks they're playing the up tempo full band version and liam starts singing wonderwall
noel launches into black star dancing and the rest of the band just wanders off stage
end set

A dream set that would appease everyone would be:
Rock 'n' Roll Star
Acquiesce (outro segues into the next song)
Cigarettes & Alcohol (SOTSOG Tour version but with a Fuckin' in the Bushes tease instead that segues into the next song)
Live Forever
Don't Look Back in Anger
Wonderwall

The Rock and Roll Hall Of Shame? Oasis should rock up drunk and play a whole lot of Britney Spears covers.

It's a hypothetical question and will never happen. You have to perform together and that will never, ever, ever x1000000 happen.
However, if they were inducted and performed, then I would expect Liam to be there to collect the gong, and not Noel.

Rock n Roll Star Wonderwall Champagne Supernova Don’t Look Back In Anger Live Forever Definitely this. Wonderwall would be the perfect one to hook people, Champagne Supernova and Rock 'n' Roll Star would be two good jam-y songs, DLBIA would get that fists in the air while crying feeling going, and Live Forever would be the best way to close. |

Knowing the Rock n Roll Hall of fame, they'll induct Liam, Noel's cat, Alan McGee, Scott Mcleod and Andy Bell's chiropractor. Fucking waste of time.
