Oasis have done many very good covers. Oasis are a much more versatile band than non-Oasis fans realize.
Anyway, I’ll start with one that I just found for the first time. Great song from the Jam. Noel’s cover is nicely different.

Definitely my favourite (no high quality video, sorry for derailing the thread already)

I do agree with you, it’s not Noel’s best arrangement. |

It's ok but certainly not one of Noel's best covers. The cover version of Carnation is much better. |

I Am the Walrus [Live] - The Beatles [1994]
The band take The Beatles psychedelic classic, strip it down, drain it of it's vibrant colours and perform it as a straight up rock number. Hearing Lennon's surreal, nonsensical lyrics sung over such conventional rock is an amusing juxtaposition but an extended outro with spirited lead guitar work from Noel and an enthusiast vocal from Liam saves it.
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away - The Beatles [1995]
Noel stays faithful to the original and manages to retain much of the charm. This begs the question as to why you wouldn't listen to the original though and avoid the incessant sleigh bells?
Cum On Feel The Noize - Slade [1996]
Musically speaking Slade are one of the most compelling comparisons you can make to Oasis. So how do the band make covering one of their songs a worthwhile endeavor? Well... they don't. The production side of things give us a heads up of what was was around corner. Shocking.
Heroes - David Bowie [1997]
If you're going to cover Heroes you'd better have something damn good up your sleeves. What's up Noel Gallagher's sleeves? Coke. Lot's of coke.
Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones [1998]
They've fucking done it again. And what's up with Liam's voice? He sounds terrible.
Helter Skelter - The Beatles [2000]
Another song they were never going to get close to. Completely pointless. All these covers just drive a wedge in between the band and the band's they claim they're just as good as.
My Generation - The Who [2002]
I despair. Again and again and again. A predictably boring choice.
Merry Xmas Everyone - Slade [2003]
A poorly autotuned Noel sings an acoustic rendition of another Slade song. Serviceable but it's really the very least I expect from a cover. The keyboard/mellotron/organ/whatever is a nice touch.
As much as love Oasis when it came to covering other bands songs they were pants. Most of these shouldn't have ever seen the light of day. Consistently predictable and uninspired, the band proved all their critics right. Where was the creativity? Whether recording in the studio or performing live the band didn't need any of these songs.

You're a bit too harsh on some of these imo I always thought I Am The Walrus was brilliant exactly because of the contrast you highlighted, psychedelic and nonsense lyrics played in a straight up rock n roll style, but with a bit of guitar madness at the end You've Got To Hide Your Love Away was a nice little rendition, and Merry Xmas Everybody puts Noel's melancholic spin on a great Christmas classic, personally I've always liked it My Generation is a boring choice, agreed, but doesn't sound half bad, same goes for Cum On Feel The Noize We're on the same page with Heroes and Street Fighting Man which are a complete mess, especially the former, and Helter Skelter, forgettable |

After the obvious choices I quite like Hey Hey My My, especially at Wembley 2000.

As I've said before I love Oasis's cover of Cum On Feel The Noize. Also, while the studio version of My Generation isn't all that great, I've always loved the live version on the Live From Manchester dvd.

This review reminded me of that bloke off that Morning Glory documentary with the specs who just hated every song on it. Cum On Feel The Noize and My Generation sound incredible imo. Get your point on maybe not doing anything inventive with them but the originals are very dated and the energy and Liams vocals more importantly bring so much to them. The rest I can take or leave. Liam should have done more. I think a lot of the time Noel was just filling in while Liam was out getting fucked though. |

I honestly don't see how they could've nailed COFTN any better.
Both on record and live.

I think that their cover of Heroes would have been better if Liam had sang it and not Noel. However that said I don't think that the song fits well as a b.side on the D'You Know What I Mean? single.

Always thought this is fucking brilliant. Classic Liam look too love it.
Oasis are a generation.
2005, such a good year for the band. Great era.

I love their cover of Street Fighting Man, it sounds awful but there is something in there that makes me come back to it very often.

Their cover of Street Fighting Man is ok I guess but I certainly don't think that it's one of their best.

How long did they play My generation? 5 years?
