In honor of Oasis’ recent North American tour, here’s a playlist of their songs to help everyone have a rocking October. The Britpop band known for their rock hits and emotional ballads are experiencing a revival in the U.S. Their music will hit you hard emotionally and be the perfect soundtrack to your “supersonic” month.
“Supersonic”
If you want to listen to a song that makes you feel like a cold-hearted, over-partied rock star, this one’s for you. A cool, steady guitar guides you through Liam Gallagher’s world of excess and melancholia. Hard-hitting drums and a killer chorus reinforce this song as Oasis’ staple rock star ballad.
“Cigarettes & Alcohol”
The happy Jekyll to “Supersonic’s” dark Hyde, this song is all about fun — parties, friends and saying goodbye to trivial problems. A bouncy lead guitar takes you through simple pleasures, and Gallagher’s amazing vocal performance convinces you to get out and have some fun.
“Don’t Look Back in Anger”
One of Oasis’ most popular songs, this ballad hits the heart in indescribable ways. Bittersweet and smooth, the song guides you through goodbye’s and see-you-never’s, backed with a fantastic piano melody and a lush chorus.
“Stand By Me”
Resonant and relatable, “Stand By Me” takes angst and puts it into song. The lead guitar’s riff puts the word “moody” to sound as an acoustic guitar backing for rhythm creates a yearning unique to the band’s sound.
“Married With Children”
Rounding out the playlist is this all-time Oasis classic. One bad breakup, and this is what we’re all thinking. Gallagher perfectly encapsulates feelings of apathy and disgust in his vocal performance. It’s a great song and cathartic listen for this rock star October.
