10 Failed Songs That Became Cult Classics

10. Don't Go Away - Oasis

Be Here Now by Oasis is normally known as the shroud for the Britpop genre. After two stellar albums to their name with Definitely Maybe and What's the Story? Morning Glory, the Gallagher brothers turned in one of the most half-baked followups in rock and roll, with every song being stretched to unnecessary proportions. Every single critic seems to have a sour take on this album, but most diehard Oasis have still found merit in "Don't Go Away."

Right off the bat, the song still has a lot of the trappings of Be Here Now, given its overly long length and a pretty generic chord progression by rock standards. However, while the rest of the album feels like the band coaxing off of name recognition, this is the one track that actually feels genuine, as if Noel Gallagher has had to sacrifice a serious relationship in order to get to where he is today.

It is a bit long in places, but the charm and desperation in Liam's voice feels like the song deserves to be as long as it is. There's a lot of boring tracks filtered throughout this album, but if you listen hard enough, songs like these come to the forefront to wow you just like the old Oasis did.
