The announcement, on August 27, that Noel and Liam Gallagher have settled their long-running feud and agreed to reunite indie legends Oasis for a massive stadium tour in 2025 caused ripples of excitement across the globe.
The rise, fall and rise again of the Gallagher brothers' band has been well documented. In 1993, the Manchester quintet wowed Creation Records boss Alan McGee with a bottom-of-the-bill performance at King Tuts in Glasgow: just three years later, at the height of the BritPop movement they helped drive, 2.6 million people, approximately five per cent of the UK population at the time, applied for tickets for their brace of concerts at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire.
In between, Noel Gallagher established himself as rock's finest songwriting magpie, his younger brother Liam picked fights with half the planet, and their band generated endless tabloid headlines, picked up countless awards, and delivered one of the best debut albums and some of the most perfect singles of any band in history. Now, 15 years after they broke up following a backstage fight in Paris, they're coming back, and the buzz around the group has never been louder.
Between 1994 and 2008, Oasis released seven studio albums, and one of the finest B-sides collections ever compiled. Here they are, ranked from the worst to the best.
