Oasis What's The Story - Every Song Ranked

1. Don't Look Back in Anger

For many Oasis devotees, it's no surprise that "Don't Look Back In Anger" comes in at the very top of this list. Not only is it the greatest song on the record, it could very well be the greatest song to come from Noel Gallagher's mind.

Originally inspired by John Lennon's "Imagine," Noel Gallagher constructed a typical chord progression and turned it into something extraordinary. The song's melodic structure is a classic pop tune that seems to have an enhanced gravitas thanks to the gargantuan production. While Liam's voice is the sound of Oasis, Noel's performance here is absolutely spellbinding.

While the studio track is fantastic, the song turned into something much bigger when the band performed it live. Suddenly, this classic pop song became a life-affirming anthem as the entire crowd would overpower the speakers every time the chorus came around. "Don't Look Back In Anger" had a certain presence to it that almost felt like it became a classic song immediately upon its release. Even if we may never know if our favorite songs will last the test of time, Oasis came through with a song that is pretty much bulletproof with "Don't Look Back In Anger."
