Oasis’s gemlike masterpieces. Soulful vocals woven by the Gallagher brothers.

I’m Outta TimeOasis

Oasis – I’m Outta Time

A representative late-period single composed by Liam, it was also performed mid-set at live shows.

It drew attention for sampling John Lennon’s voice at the end, and it feels like a song that symbolizes Oasis as they were nearing their end.

It’s not flashy, but it’s a good track.

Let There Be LoveOasis

Oasis – Let There Be Love (Official Video)

It’s a rare type of love song where Liam and Noel take turns on vocals.

Oasis rarely do love songs, but I think this one is of exceptionally high quality even among those.

It’s also one of the songs I regret never getting to hear live.

Roll With ItOasis

Oasis – Roll With It (Official HD Remastered Video)

It’s a song that still gets played on TV and radio and is a staple at live shows.

The strength of the melody really stands out, and I think it’s the best track to recommend to someone listening to Oasis for the first time.

It fully showcases the quality of Liam’s early vocals.

The Hindu TimesOasis

Oasis – The Hindu Times (Official Video)

Although it was a relatively low-key single, they performed this song live on a popular news program at the time.

The lyrics suggested a revival, and their outfit—denim jacket and jeans—and cooler hairstyle inspired many to copy the fashion.

When they came to Japan, I went to their concert.

Definitely MaybeOasis

Oasis – Rock ‘n’ Roll Star

The artwork for Oasis—a band led by the Gallagher brothers, Liam, a charismatic vocalist, and Noel, a genius songwriter, and arguably the strongest rock band to come out of the UK in the 1990s—is, contrary to their wild image, remarkably British and stylish, whether for albums or EPs.

The album cover for their legendary debut, Definitely Maybe—an iconic piece in British rock history—features a photo shot in the living room of early member and guitarist Bonehead’s house, and it’s impossibly cool and slick.

The cover, which exudes the vibe of the band lazily spending a quiet afternoon, includes photos of the great composer Burt Bacharach and Rodney Marsh, known as a Manchester City player; an Epiphone guitar in the back of the room; and on the TV, the young Clint Eastwood classic For a Few Dollars More—details that convey their tastes.

There are also touches of brilliance like a spinning globe and casually placed glasses, which evoke various images.

By the way, Liam’s reclining pose has a specific meaning too, so if you’re curious, it’s fun to look it up.
