Ranking Oasis’ ‘Definitely Maybe’ in order of greatness

Ranking Oasis’ seminal album ‘Definitely Maybe’ in order of greatness song by song.

Oasis

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.
