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.

Little By LittleOasis

This is a single with Noel, the guitarist, on vocals.

It features distinctive choruses, and since Noel has continued to sing it live even after going solo, it must hold special meaning for him.

It also remains consistently popular in concerts and is one of the quintessential songs from their later period.

(What's the Story) Morning Glory?Oasis

A pinnacle of Britpop—that’s Oasis’s album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?.

Released in October 1995, this masterpiece took the UK music scene by storm, selling 347,000 copies in its first week and becoming one of the biggest hits of the ’90s.

It features iconic tracks like Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger.

The album cover shows Berwick Street in London, and a fun detail is that producer Owen Morris appears in the shot.

It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in Britpop or looking to immerse themselves in ’90s music.

This song was a B-side single, but I remember thinking how amazing it was and replaying it over and over at the time.

It’s included on the B-sides album The Masterplan, so I hope many people will give it a listen.

It’s also one of the songs I really wanted to hear live, and it’s a track that many people include on their “hidden best” lists.

This is Liam’s first-ever original song, written about the son of his then-wife.

Unlike songs written by his brother Noel, it’s a simple and straightforward track, yet it overflows with warmth, dramatically overturning the image Liam had up to that point.
