In honour of the fact that Oasis have FINALLY made it onto Spotify, and to celebrate the fact that their SEMINAL debut album will be TWENTY years old this year, I thought we'd have a poll.

So which track is your favourite from the 11 that made up the original UK release?

Although the music that inspired Oasis is well documented, this album still sounds very fresh today.

Has a hint of menace that none of their albums that followed had. Lots of favourite songs on that. It's hard to pick.

Wow, 20 years ago. I feel old.

Hard to pick an outright favourite, but will go with Supersonic.

Having found them on Spotify I was surprised to see just how many more albums they have.

I bought Definitely Maybe, What's the Story, Be Here Now and The Masterplan when they were each released but quickly lost interest after that. It would appear there are a further FOUR studio albums after these, none of which I know ANYTHING about.

Whilst What's the Story is also a SEMINAL album I still think Definitely Maybe is their best work and it seems a shame that they've actually got quite the back catalogue, with (presumably) none of it ever hitting the heights of their very first release.

Anyway, for me, it's a toss up between Columbia and Bring It On Down, which are both AWESOME

Live Forever, closely followed by Slide Away, then Columbia. Not sure why I like Columbia - it nags away at you until you just accept that the chord changes, although obvious, are great.

Live For Ever, very closely followed by Slide Away. Can still remember hearing the album for the first time and thinking there's not one track I don't like. Quality album

Slide Away is poetic brilliance. One of the most wonderfully crafted love songs from a rock/indie/britpop (whatever you want to call it) band ever.

Liam's voice used to be soft and melodious but with a Northern grittiness at the same time; a key reason for their early meteoric rise - his singing was the working class voice that so many young people could relate to.
