Oasis Greatest Hits Tracklisting Announced

added 11 September 2006 at 12.07

Finally after weeks of speculation, the tracklisting for Oasis upcoming Best Of compilation ‘Stop The Clocks’ has been unveiled. Has your favourite track made it on? Have they included anything from 'Be Here Now'? Xfm has the answers right here.

Rather than compile a traditional ‘Greatest Hits’ album (something Noel Gallagher had been on record as saying would only happen after they split up) Oasis have simply picked what they consider to be their finest moments ever for a
new ‘Best Of’ record.

Entitled ‘Stop The Clocks’ the new compilation will hit shops on November 20 (just in time for Christmas, natch) and includes singles, B-sides and an album track from across Oasis’ 10 year history.

Oddly, the album doesn't appear to include the title track, ‘Stop The Clocks’, a song originally recorded for inclusion on the album 'Don't Believe The Truth' which Noel has previously is one of the best things he's ever written. However the band are filming a video for the song in London on Tuesday September 12 (for more info click here) which would suggest a 'Whatever'-style one-off single release.

Despite rumours that the record’s release would mark the end of their career, a statement issued to Xfm is clear to insist that the band are not splitting up, and have no plans to do so. It reads.

“Having spent 10 months on the road in support of the 2 million selling ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’, ‘Stop the Clocks’ is released as Oasis take a well earned sabbatical prior to starting work on new material, destined for similar levels of success in the future.

“As such, this is not a full stop, but merely a time out; a dream set list, and a chance for the world to review the immense contribution that Oasis have made and continue to make to rock ‘n’ roll.”

The full tracklisting is:

1. ‘Rock n Roll Star’
2. ‘Some Might Say’
3. ‘Talk Tonight’
4. ‘Lyla’
5. ‘The Importance of Being Idle’
6. ‘Wonderwall’
7. ‘Slide Away’
8. ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’
9. ‘The Masterplan’
10. ‘Live Forever’
11. ‘Acquiesce’
12. ‘Supersonic’
13. ‘Half The World Away’
14. ‘Go Let It Out’
15. ‘Songbird’
16. ‘Morning Glory’
17. ‘Champagne Supernova’
18. ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’
