Hello, We re doing a collaboration playlist on our team at work. (In France) I can propose only one song. And I would like to pick one of the Oasis or NGHFB back catalog. There is a lot of young adulds in our teams, who use to listen french top charts songs. I want a song that can make them go to Spotify to listen more of Oasis / NGHFB stuff. What song would you propose if you were me ? DLBIA , Wonderwall, Live Forever, Half The World Away - One they probably never heard ?
Bsides (Talk Tonight, the Masterplan, ... ) - Or all the NGHFB not so famous in France Noel acoustics one, like Idler's dream, One Way Road, Dead In The Water Thank you for your help !

Stay Young is a brilliant pop tune. It kind of encapsulates the 'joy' of Oasis. It's a real earworm and will stick with people for sure.

Only one song!?
I worked in a warehouse for a few months where everybody argued about the choice of radio station so eventually I just had a playlist arranged and playing over the speakers all day. Everybody got to initially choose 20 songs (between us that pretty much covered three work days) and I had them playing at random.
Every weekend everybody could email me a choice of another 10 songs and I would add them to that initial playlist by Monday morning. Every week the number of songs quickly grew.
Some complained about the song choices and eventually I gave everybody the option of also being able to remove a song (regardless of who had chosen it) but it came at the cost of adding one of their own songs (ie they could delete one song from the playlist if it really annoyed them but that meant they could only add 9 not 10 tracks that week).
Actually I came up with the "remove a track" option myself because if I ever had to listen that awful Enemy song by Imagine Dragons again I was going to smash that work ipad playing the songs to pieces.
I had to put a limit on song lengths (some were choosing 30 minute remixes which really went against the spirit of the whole thing) and being a workplace I had to warn them about songs that might be considered offensive to co-workers.
It was good fun and led to lots of good hearted banter - "Who chose this great song!? I'd forgotten this one!" or "I bet you chose this crap you idiot!".
I had lots of Oasis and Britpop and Beatles and Stones and Kinks in there. I left after 3 or 4 months so I don't know if anybody kept the thing going. Maybe they remember me whenever an Oasis track starts playing! Maybe they've all slowly elected to remove my choices? Who knows?

Slide Away, if someone isn’t hooked after listening to that then I’d just give up and disown them

I'll go with Acquiesce. Has the kinda poppy chorus and it features both brothers. Also i think it will appeal to the masses, but it's kinda of a deep cut and not well known song.

Rock n Roll Star They'll either get it or they won't.
If they get it, then they'll get the whole thing!

I got hooked at Morning Glory. OK, and first at Fucking in the bushes ("Snatch"), but that's not a very typical Oasis song.

Rock n Roll Star They'll either get it or they won't. If they get it, then they'll get the whole thing! Bang on! Its the mission statement, sums up everything Oasis were and what they wanted to do.

I personally got interested in them when I heard wonderwall. But Supersonic did me in.
My answer is Supersonic of course. Live Forever or Rock ‘n’ Roll Star would be close after.

I'd go for Some Might Say cause it's just the perfect uplifting, upbeat pop song

I guy who I work with (a “I’ve only heard Wonderwall” type) recently asked me for a set of other Oasis tunes. I gave him a few ballads and he came back with Don’t Go Away as his favorite. FWIW.

From previous experiences I can say casual listeners love She's Electric

Supersonic or Some Might Say.
If they don't like either of those songs, then they won't like Oasis.

Supersonic or Some Might Say. If they don't like either of those songs, then they won't like Oasis. Agreed, they're both absolute Oasis classics.

Some Might Say is the obvious choice. Or Bring it on Down. Loud. In their face.

Live Forever to me is the essential Oasis track
