Okay, this was an experiment that worked spiffingly on another forum, so i figured why not here. Essentially, I'll be periodically adding the next thread in this series for each album, where you essentially rank the tracks on each album! [Feel free to justify your decisions next to your choices] Here's mine for Definitely Maybe: 1) Live Forever - An anthem and a love song that comes off feeling like neither of them, while accomplishing both. Sublime 2) Bring It On Down - Powerful, Punky and a concise and perfect package. 3) Rock 'n' Roll Star - The statement of intent that features just about the only dynamics on the album with the opening drum roll. Powerful, but not quite to the extent of BIOD. 4) Cigarettes & Alcohol - A strong social statement that ends up being relatable to just about every male on the planet in some way, even those of us that don't Drink/Smoke! [me] 5) Columbia - Confusion. But epic confusion. 6) Supersonic - The bravdo on show here is clear, but the lyrics are too 'first single' to push it higher. 7) Digsy's Dinner - I love this track, for its whimsicle nature that somehow feels like it's more than it ever is. 8) Sad Song - Being a vinyl addict, this had to be included, and the sound of the guitar, mixed with Noel's early voice seems to emit a sense of emotion it doesn't actually achieve, but still touches you in many ways. 9) Married With Children - Liam's sweet voice beats anything else he ever did for this song. His snarl would have ruined it, and yet those brilliant lyrics want it. We get a compromise. 10) Slide Away - A strong love song that never seems to quite feel emotional enough to justify its existence, burying its strongest section under an unneeded repetition of the refrain. 11) Up In The Sky - Starts off promising, but never amounts to anything more than that. Feels like it should be more. 12) Shakermaker - Dull, I just can't get into this. What are your takes on the tracks? Sideline opinions aren't necessary for those lazy types. Morning Glory topic found hereRankings as of 11/05/2013 @ 11:39 (GMT) 1) Live Forever - 61 2) Slide Away - 98 3) Supersonic - 123 4) Rock 'N' Roll Star - 150 5) Columbia - 195 6) Bring It On Down - 198 7) Cigarettes and Alcohol - 212 8) Married With Children - 267 9) Degs Dinner - 302 10) Up in the Sky - 310 11) Shakermaker - 313

Very surprised you put Slide Away so low, I thought everyone loves that song, l know I do.
Id go -
Live Forever Slide away Rock n roll star Supersonic Cigarettes & Alcohol Columbia Bring it on down Married with children Sad song Digsys dinner Up in the sky Shakermaker
But that's not to say I don't like Shaker maker either, because I do.

I would say DM is harder to rank than MG. But only just.

Interesting to see Shakermaker low on most peoples lists,
Definitely a weaker track on the album, but I grew to like the song more when played live.

Personally I love the song and don't see how you could place Sad Song or Digsy's Diner over it, but fair enough, there's not a bad song on the album.
