Stop the Clocks - Oasis - Tracklist

STOP THE CLOCKS TRACK LISTING REVEALED

11 September 2006

After much speculation Oasis announce the final track listing for their definitive collection Stop The Clocks.

Unlike most albums of this nature, Oasis have sat down and undertaken the almost impossible job of picking what they consider to be their finest moments ever. So Stop The Clock is imbued with the sort of wilfulness that has helped make Oasis the favourite band of millions of people worldwide and its running order will no doubt provoke equal parts adulation and bar discussions from the millions of Oasis fans worldwide. Could it ever be any other way? Oasis have been at the helm of the world's music scene for over ten years and, on 20th November 2006 the first ever Oasis retrospective will draw together the years of multi platinum albums, Number One singles and, unique to Oasis, instantly familiar B sides into one 18 track double album entitled Stop the Clocks.

So here it is. The tracks as chosen by the band themselves - the songs they believe encapsulate their remarkable career to date.

Rock n Roll Star
Some Might Say
Talk Tonight
Lyla
The Importance of Being Idle
Wonderwall
Slide Away
Cigarettes & Alcohol
The Masterplan
Live Forever
Acquiesce
Supersonic
Half The World Away
Go Let It Out
Songbird
Morning Glory
Champagne Supernova
Don't Look Back In Anger

To me a best of should represent their career, which this doesnt. No songs from be here now, they leave off Hindu times in favour of songbird!! No way should idle and Half the world away be on there. Glad they put on Slide away and Acquiesce though. I cant see how they can leave off 4 songs which were massive hits here. I know its only a best of but if they do a tour for it it means were prob never gonna hear classics like Roll with it, stand by me, and hindu times.

And one other thing I dont get, if its a double CD then it should have more than 18 songs??!!

Fair dinkum though, not a bad tracklist, eh??

Give me one reason why a diehard would buy that, though. What is new??

Nah its not a bad setlist, but I cant believe they left off Roll with it. They may not like the song anymore but that song was a massive chapter in their career, going against Blur in the charts.

I know, il prob wait until its in the sale to buy it. Id rather make my own Oasis compilation

I love how British people go on about the big Oasis v Blur thing back in the mid-90's. In Australia, Blur were barely a pimple on the arse of the music industry, One Hit Wonders if there was ever such a thing (and THAT was a crap song, too!). Oasis have been successful here since the word 'Go' and it is amazing that they even get mentioned in the same breath.

I think you had to be living here at the time to know how big it was Chris. It was headline news that week, (and the only reson Blur won was cos their CD single was a quid cheaper ). Anyhow Blur won the battle but Oasis the war so to speak, as Whats the story pissed all over Blurs "the great escape". Thats why you never heard much of Blur over there.

Looks like a good tracklist. However, I would recommend anyone to buy Definately Maybe or Morning Glory to it seven days a week.

If you're gonna make a double disc best of then why not fill it up? There's no way those 18 tracks will add up to 160 minutes, and Oasis have written so many good songs to fill 160 minutes worth. They are missing so many good songs.

I was more of a blur fan that crappy oasis, was always funny at school cos you had all the rivalry... Blur still have better songs

its not like they are bothered by your opinion, in there opinion the songs they've picked are better than Roll With It... Some Might Say is miles better than Roll With It.

Now we all know you wont buy it when its in the sale as you still aint bought the truth is out there
