    Why oh why was this just a b-side on the 'Go Let It O ut' single. For me it's one of their finest tracks and alongside Gas Panic as the best tune from that era. Liam's vocal on this track is one of his finest, the gloomy production and dark lyrics give it a real edge. Should have been on the album. TUNE.

    Probably the best B-sides band in the world. Them and The Smiths.

    +1. They made some strange decisions with b-sides over the years. How did 'Lets All Make Believe' not make it on to SOTSOG when the likes of 'I Can See A Liar' 'Little James' and 'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is' are on there?!?!?

    AGree with you there a very fine song, in comparsion with the rubbish remixes we got on the last singles its a great shame that Noel in the latter years didn't put enough effort into the band

    I bought the 'Go Let It Out' single purely for this song. Fantastic tune and easily one of their best, if not the best, between 1996 and now.

    Solve My Mystery was one left in the vaults that only surfaced on bootlegs. Baffling!

    I've always liked this song, another one that causes you to say "Why wasn't that the single/on the album?"

    Same goes for Stay Young, the B-side of D'you what I mean.

    Excellent song. But it's no secret that many of Oasis' best songs are their B-Sides. That's the treat for the fans.

    I still remember buying Some Might Say on cd single, the B-sides were Acquiesce, Talk Tonight and Headshrinker. Not mad pushed on Headshrinker, but Talk Tonight and Acquiesce are amazing tracks.

    They went and did it again when they released Wonderwall. I mean ffs, look at this for a selection of supposed B-sides:

    Round Are Way
    The Swamp Song
    The Masterplan

    All three are great tunes.

    I always liked this live version of the Masterplan. The live horn section makes it sound better I think:

    Full On is a b-side to Sunday Morning Call. Great tune that methinks.

    You could be right. IMO they went dowhill after the second album. Anything post 96 was ordinary enough. Look at link below. Post 96 and pre 96. The difference is there for all to see.

    Im a die hard so I'm biased but I love their post 1997 work as much as the first 3 albums. One thing they couldn't match was their b-side output. A classic in 'Let's All Make..' and a few other gems but the b-sides from 2000 on can't hold a candle to the golden b-side era of 1994-97.

    Do folks seriously thinks Oasis B sides stand up against the Smiths though. Thats a very big claim to be making.

    Agreed. I absolutely love Don't Believe The Truth, SOTSOG, Heathen Chemistry and Dig Out Your Soul.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8erBBbZD3s

    Totally rocking tune, great driving song, " as I soar..." is a great refrain.

    And Flashbax, think it was on all around the world? Be here now era b-sides are top notch too.

    Have a soft spot for won't let you down too, have to admit I stopped buying singles after heathen chemistry. I did watch an interview with liam the other day where he says the new band is going to go back to the basics with b sides etc i'll link it here

    Step Out was a fantastic b-side aswell and was on the tracklist as track 5 on Morning Glory but was pulled after Stevie Wonders label claimed the chorus sounded like 1 of his songs "Uptight Alright" or something like that. Hey Now wasn't a bad 1 to replace it with though.

    As for the later b-sides Liams "Won't let you down" was a good acoustic sing it at a house party kind of song I think it was on Lyla.

    Let's all make believe was an overlooked classic though and the other song on go let it out, cigarettes in hell wasn't bad either.

    Sounds a bit like this



    But at least they are imitating one of their own songs and this is one of their best ones
