49. D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?
From Single: Shakermaker
Released: 13 June 1994
92 Points, 3 Votes, 1 Number One

this song barely made my ballot, glad to see my vote got it into the Top 50.

My albums ballot would have looked exactly like the final result, to be fair, but with nothing after 1998 on it.

my number one!

47. Headshrinker
From Single: Some Might Say
Released: 24 April 1995
111 Points, 4 Votes

yes, another b-side.

never liked this one. I get the impression the Brits are fonder of the brickwalled distorted guitar overload than I am (one of the reasons I prefer Morning Glory to the debut tbh, it has less of that, more varied production)

it's like the classic shoegaze guitar sound ramped up by 1000 + cocaine

I'm actually quite surprised that 'Go Let It Out' managed to sneak into the Top 50. It was the last Oasis single I bought, as the whole thing just didn't feel the same anymore.

'D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?', '(It's Good) To Be Free' and 'Headshrinker' are all (IMO) top notch, though. Noel's apparently been playing '(It's Good) To Be Free' quite a lot on his solo tours. However, there's nothing yet that I feel is too low or anything.

45. Don't Go Away
From: Be Here Now and Single
Single Released: 19 February 1998
122 Points, 4 Votes

when i first saw them live at Glastonbury '95 they'd only had the first 2 singles out by then, but everyone around us was shouting for
".. Spaceman".

xpost:

YES! I didn't think I'd see this one make an appearance, but I'm glad to see it here. This was one I was definitely going to vote for.

The cover of the single features the old Liverpool Speke Airport building. The airport is famous as the scene at which thousands of hysterical fans greeted The Beatles on their return to Liverpool at the height of Beatlemania. Derelict at the time, it has now been turned into a hotel. The aeroplane is an Avro Lancastrian.

meant to put that is quotes.

RE: I'm Outta Time ]

The song has been noted as one of the highlights of the album by fans, as well as the band themselves, with guitarist Noel Gallagher labelling it "deceptively brilliant"...Although only peaking at number 48 in France, the song spent a total of 28 weeks in the French Singles Chart,[6] the most ever by any Oasis single.

not a bad thing, just interesting.

ARGH, NO! FUCK OFF! I really, really, really don't like this song. Last time I listened to this I couldn't shake the feeling that it felt tailor-made for someone like Celine Dion or something.

Noel should not have released that demo, though it's only on the DVD.

going to add chart placement

The song was written by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, who has varyingly described the track as "specifically designed for pogoing", "annoyingly catchy", and the "poppiest thing since "Roll with It"". Noting the varied influences of the song, Gallagher says that it's "a bit like... The Soundtrack of Our Lives doing The Who on Skol in a psychedelic city in the sky, or something".

not really a fan of this one, was surprised on it's placement. it's okay i guess.

wait, isn't that the cover for the album?

oh i see, the picture is different.

the biggest surprise about Songbird is it's length, it's only 2:08 long.

has to be their shortest song?

Their 'lightest' certainly.

it's funny watching the covers of these songs change over the years as various design teams try to grapple with being forced to use
