Oasis Songs That Have to Stay in the Reunion Set

Warm melody, loud guitars and charmingly nonsensical lines make this peak Oasis, with a chorus built for voices beyond the stage.

The entire crowd needs this song together: its hopeful lyric and soaring melody express the generosity that Oasis often hid behind attitude.

Liam Gallagher's drawl, the blunt riff and the song's unearned confidence still sound like the band's most natural self-introduction.

Noel's melody gives Liam room for a genuinely vulnerable performance, while the long guitar outro earns every second of its release.

The gradual build and enormous closing refrain justify all eight minutes when tens of thousands of people are singing along.

Noel barely needs to sing the chorus now; its transformation into a crowd standard makes it essential to any reunion set.

The blunt riff and opening boast provide the correct statement of intent for a band returning to stadiums after years apart.

Originally a B-side, Noel's unusually reflective lyric and graceful melody helped it outgrow that category and become a fan standard.

A reunion carries more meaning when both brothers sing, and this B-side turns their difficult bond into a huge communal chorus.

The guitars arrive at full force before anyone can overthink the lyric, making this the set's necessary burst of pure momentum.
