Oasis song greatest ever
By SEAN HAMILTON
Oasis: The Manchester supergroup has produced the two greatest songs of all time, the 20th greatest of all time and the 35th greatest of all time.
OASIS’S Live Forever has lived up to its name – and been voted the greatest song of ALL TIME.
The 12-year-old track has beaten classics by The Beatles, U2 and Queen in a Q magazine poll of music fans.
But its writer Noel Gallagher said: “People said after Live Forever, ‘Where are you gonna go after that?’ I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s that good.’ I think I can do better.”
Oasis pulled off a double feat.
Their hit Wonderwall was No2 in Q mag’s all-time Top 100.
And two other Oasis songs — Don’t Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova — also made the list.
Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit was third in the rock-heavy poll.
The Beatles’ six entries were the most for any band.
A Q spokesman said: “Live Forever doesn’t date. It satisfies a timeless need for communal joy.”
