## Appears on

### [Live Forever](https://waxonia.com/track/oasis--live-forever/)

*1994 · Creation · No. 2 in [Britpop](https://waxonia.com/genre/britpop/)*

Noel Gallagher wrote it as a direct answer to Nirvana's I Hate Myself and Want to Die. Whatever one thinks of the band, the argument is stated cleanly.

### [Wonderwall](https://waxonia.com/track/oasis--wonderwall/)

*1995 · Creation · No. 8 in [Britpop](https://waxonia.com/genre/britpop/)*

Ubiquitous to the point of parody, and worth hearing again. The chord sequence is a very good chord sequence, whatever the last thirty years have done to it.

### [Live Forever](https://waxonia.com/track/oasis--live-forever/)

*1994 · Creation · Picked by [1994](https://waxonia.com/theme/nineteen-ninety-four/)*

The least fashionable inclusion here and the hardest to argue away. It turned a scene of art-school records into something a stadium would sing, which is a change of kind rather than of scale, and Britpop dates from it.
