KEEPING TRACK

AHEAD of the reunion of the decade, John Shammas looked back at every Oasis album track, while also including The Master-plan B-side compilation and significant non-album singles - 87 songs in total. Let's roll with it...

- 

87. A Bell Will Ring Forgettable.

86. Digsy's Dinner The black sheep of the first album, packed with nonsensical inside jokes. The band didn't take this song very seriously and neither should we. Think of it when you are eating lasagna.... Still, it's good fun for what it is.

85. Force of Nature Zzzz... plodding dad rock from Noel who should know better.

84. The Nature of Reality Considering the bored and lazy sound of the final Oasis album, it is incredible to think the world were shocked when they called it quits in 2009. They were finished long before that fateful row in Paris and this song proves it.

83. A Quick Peep The weakest of Oasis' instrumental tracks, written by Andy Bell.

82. Waiting for the Rapture Trundling and dull.

81. Meaning of Soul Puzzling how it finds itself on Don't Believe the Truth, which at times sees Oasis return to their best form. Must try harder.

80. Falling Down Loses itself in the various shades of grey that characterise Oasis' final album.

79. Ain't Got Nothin' See above.

78. Hung in a Bad Place Monotone and a little bit boring by the high standards of Oasis. Written by Gem Archer.

77. Better Man The only song on Heathen Chemistry that was joint-written by Noel and Liam. It brings a hit-and-miss album to an end.

76. Mucky Fingers Don't Believe the Truth marked a return to form for Oasis, with the band sounding creative and energised once more. This song doesn't quite live up to the rest of the album unfortunately.

75. Soldier On As the last track on Dig Out Your Soul, it's a decent ending to a poor album.

74. Hey Now! The jangled, sliding guitar riff and poppy vocals make this sleepy album track, sandwiched between stone cold classics in Oasis' second album, memorable enough.
