List of songs recorded by Oasis

Oasis were an English rock band from Manchester. Formed in 1991, the group originally included vocalist Liam Gallagher, guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll, although the quartet were soon joined by guitarist and second vocalist Noel Gallagher, older brother of Liam.[1] They released their debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994, the material for which was entirely written by Noel Gallagher.[2] Standalone single "Whatever" was issued later in the year,[3] which was later co-credited to Neil Innes due to plagiarism.[4] The band's second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, their first with new drummer Alan White, followed in 1995.[5] All songs were again credited to Noel Gallagher, although opening track "Hello" was co-credited to Gary Glitter and Mike Leander due to its use of lyrics from Glitter's single "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again".[6] Oasis released their third album Be Here Now in 1997, which was their last to be written entirely by Noel Gallagher.[7]
