20 great Oasis songs to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first single

It was 20 years ago today, Noel Gallagher taught the band to play…

Well not exactly, but if legend has it, Oasis wrote their first single in the studio after a jam session, and recorded it in 11 hours at The Pink Museum, Liverpool. Exactly 20 years ago on the 11^th April 1994, they released that song, Supersonic, in all its noisy, melodic, nonsensical glory… it was the beginning of new golden era for rock ‘n’ roll – and two decades of sibling rivalry that would command headlines and the attention of a generation of young Britons…

So before the there’s time to get into who was better, Oasis or Blur, let’s celebrate twenty of the best songs from the Mancunian godfathers of Britpop… (feel free to shout in the comments if your favourite hasn't made it in)
