Ranking Oasis’ seminal album ‘Definitely Maybe’ in order of greatness song by song.
When five lads from Manchester released “Definitely Maybe”, nobody imagined it would become a legendary album. Maybe only Oasis.
Led by Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, with Paul Arthurs and the band, they created one of Britain’s best rock albums. A generation-defining record worth celebrating with this ranking.
11. “Digsy’s Dinner”
A lighthearted song about dinner with a friend. A joke track that many see as the album’s weakest point.
10. “Shakermaker”
A dreamy, psychedelic track that may disappoint some fans. Unique sound, but less impactful than the rest of the album.
9. “Up in the Sky”
A perfect mix of Oasis power and softer melodies. Strong influences from The Stone Roses.
8. “Married with Children”
Noel Gallagher wrote this ironic song about a troubled relationship. The final message? Love conquers all.
7. “Bring It On Down”
An anthem for Britain’s working class. A song that represents Oasis’ roots and authenticity.
6. “Slide Away”
An emotional track blending the band’s soft and raw sides perfectly.
5. “Cigarettes and Alcohol”
A British nightlife classic. A powerful and authentic anthem of working-class culture.
4. “Supersonic”
The song that launched Oasis. Pure energy, arrogance, and an unforgettable melody.
3. “Columbia”
A masterpiece often underrated. Shows the band’s depth with a more structured and original sound.
2. “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star”
A track that embodies Liam Gallagher’s essence. A statement of greatness: Oasis were rockstars from day one.
1. “Live Forever”
The best track on the album and possibly Oasis’ career. A generational anthem that redefined British music.
