‘Wonderwall’ is Britain’s favourite song, but is it Oasis’ best?

Carl Kinsella

“Anyway, here’s ‘Wonderwall’.”

Ah ‘Wonderwall’, the leaning post for buskers everywhere. The four-chord crutch, if you will.

In all seriousness, ‘Wonderwall’ is an undeniably brilliant song that has thoroughly earned its popularity since its release. It’s debatable as to whether it’s Oasis’ best song though.

Radio X received over 50,000 votes on its Best Of British poll, and Oasis claimed the top FOUR spots with ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, ‘Champagne Supernova’, and ‘Live Forever’.

Here’s the complete top ten:

1. OASIS – WONDERWALL

2. OASIS – DON’T LOOK BACK IN ANGER

3. CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA

4. OASIS – LIVE FOREVER

5. THE STONE ROSES – I AM THE RESURRECTION

6. ARCTIC MONKEYS – I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR

7. DAVID BOWIE – HEROES

8. DAVID BOWIE – LIFE ON MARS?

9. THE VERVE – BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY

10. THE ROLLING STONES – GIMME SHELTER
