For the most part, Oasis’ singles were spot on. But there are always a few bad apples.
I haven’t gone through the singles, so this is just off the top of my head -
Let There Be Love - Piss poor singles choice, but if it maximized its potential it would have been a massive single. As it stands? No, not even close.
I’m Outta Time - Also had true potential, but incomplete. Liam also ended Oasis’ streak of singles placing in the top 10, with IOOT coming in at 12. That actually really does piss me off.
Shakemaker - Curious single choice, partially due to so many better choices from DM.
I’m sure there’s a few more contender, but those three are the first to come to mind.

Lord Don't Slow Me Down (it it counts as a proper single) and Falling Down.
Never been a huge fan of Lyla too, but it works.

I'd say that either Sunday Morning Call or Lord Don't Slow Me Down was the worst of the bunch. Who Feels Love?, She Is Love, Let There Be Love and Songbird don't much for me either but generally speaking Oasis were a pretty decent singles band.

Never liked the shock of the lightning or little by little.

Probably She Is Love, although it was a double release if I remember correctly
If that doesn't count I'd say Shakermaker, never been a big fan and there was much better stuff on DM

"Let there be love", "Lord don't slow me down", "She is love" are the worst.
"Shakermaker"," All around the world" & "Who feels love?" are great songs but odd choices for singles.

They tended to choose the singles well, but if I had to pick myself I’d maybe say Sunday Morning Call.
Unless you were to judge Little by Little/She is Love separately; if so then the latter of those.

Sunday Morning Call immediately came to mind. But that rejigs my memory back at a party I was at when Oasis was randomly brought up by somebody.
All very casual fans but somebody mentioned SMC as a great song which prompted gushing and unanimous praise from everyone. I was confused at this given it’s discarded status by the Oasis community. So I don’t really know what to think anymore.
Maybe Let There Be Love? A nice melody in there, but just so god damn slow and plodding. Thanks Dave Sardy.

There's a truly beautiful song somewhere in Let there be Love, it's just that no creative effort was put in to find it. Whack on some schmaltzy piano, that'll do, eh? Anyway, I'd go with Sunday Morning Call by a fair margin.

Anyway, I'd go with Sunday Morning Call by a fair margin. I agree. There’s a great song in there ruined by the sheer bland recording. Perhaps more accurate then to say it’s the ‘most disappointing Oasis single’. |

The one with The Quiet Ones on.
What a rip off 😂

Sunday Morning Call was my mum's favourite Oasis song, bless her ☺️ Personally I think it's underrated probably due to being overshadowed by other huge Oasis anthems. I'll actually go and give it a good listen now. Cheers 😘 |

I'd go for
Who Feels Love
Sunday Morning Call
Little By Little
She Is Love
Falling Down
Four by Noel there. Says something.

Shouldn't this be a poll?
My answer is Sunday Morning Call.

The sort of soft-rock ballady songs with Noel singing generally are popular with non-Oasis fans. Theyve all generally got a good melody, quite a commercial vocal and formulaic structure. Shout It Out Loud would've been a number 1 hit I'm sure if it was a single. For what it's worth I don't mind SMC, I think it gets a bit of unnecessary hate because Noel doesn't like it. I also love the guitar solo when they did it live. I'd say probably the 3 off DOYS were the worst singles, though I like Falling Down as a song. B-sides were virtually dead by that point too. |

But if you have to believe the brilliant RYM, it's actually "All Around The World" with "Wonderwall" second worst of the 90's  (I often talk my dislike for RYM because I know way too many people who are on there sadly. Hope it doesn't bother  ) |

Sunday Morning Call is not a very "Oasis-y" single so I can understand why it might appeal to people who aren't big fans of the band. And that's probably why it's as much disliked by Oasis fans. I think it's a bit underrated myself. |

Surprised at the few mentions of Falling Down. I adore that tune.
It wasn't deliberate of course, but it's great that is the last ever Oasis single. Apt.

This is easy. Little By Little/She is Love. An ok song as well as one of oasis most boring songs that we already had from the album. The b side was a touched up version of a live recording we had back in 2000 and was still the best track on the single.
This single had less new material than any other and there was not a single great track

Interestingly Little By Little/She is Love is the only 94-2005 cd single I don’t own, I think that says it all
