10 best... Oasis' songs

The kings within the English pop-rock bands during the 90's. It's in my opinion the best sentence to define Oasis, the Gallagher's band. Noel playing the guitar and Liam singing on your particular way, both built a very successfully music band who was capable to get the sold out in a loads of concerts where they played around the world. From Noel's hand was born greatest lyrics which become historic pieces thank Liam's voice. Both were one, but at the same time both are two different ones. So different to keep alive the band for more years: in 2009 Oasis was no longer. Since that moment, Noel and Liam followed different paths. Liam founded Beady Eye with other ex-Oasis' members. Instead, Noel started a solo career.

Currently, Beady Eye don't exist yet, so at this point there are many Oasis' fans who are wishing to hear from them an Oasis reunion statement again, 5 years from their dissolution. Anyway, we don't know if it will happen, but we are sure about our own ranking showing the ten best songs of this great band.

It's really hard to do a selection of only 10 themes of them, who have played their music for 4 different decades, in which they have grown until become one of the most important rock groups and they have developed very different styles.

Two words, one legend. This sentence can summarize perfectly one music band, because when we talk about this band headed by John R. Smith, we talk about one legend, we talk about a great band, we talk about The Cure.

On the other hand, a prove that show their influence and importance are the large number of famous songs and hymns that they have. Just Like Heavent, Lullaby, Boys Don't Cry...

I can't say what means exactly for me, but it has some that makes it so special.
