Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Here are some soul-stirring masterpieces by Oasis, the rock band that Britain proudly claims.

With the commanding vocals and melodies crafted by the distinctive Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, paired with lyrics that resonate deeply.

Their songs—singing of life’s joys and hopes, love and loneliness, and at times even brotherly love—continue to captivate hearts across generations.

This is a Liam-written number that closes Oasis’s final album, with lyrics that are striking—open to being read as either meaningful or simply wordplay.

While Noel’s songwriting style changed repeatedly, Liam’s songs maintained a simple, straightforward aesthetic to the very end.

Don’t Look Back in AngerOasis

Oasis – Don’t Look Back In Anger (Official Video)

Don't Look Back in AngerOasis

Don’t Look Back in Anger can be called not just Oasis’s signature song, but one of the great global rock anthems.

It’s a track that really hypes up the end of a karaoke session, so I think it feels even better if everyone sings along together on the chorus.
