This might be fun. If not, I wash my hands of this thread.
Anyhow, the idea here is that you make a 12-14 track list of Oasis (may include BE, HFB) songs that tell the story of your journey from first contact to mad fer it fan, and anything in between and beyond. Start off with the first song you heard from them, and go from there. Feel free to add a couple notes explaining your song choices.
Mine:
Wonderwall - first I'd heard of them and loved it D'You Know What I Mean? - definitely my fav band, got the single in UK summer '97. Amazing time. I Hope I think I Know - bought BHN, first album I bought myself Gas Panic - had all the albums at this point, FTM brings Oasis live gigs into my world Whatever - tracking down all the singles RocknRoll Star - just encapsulates everything about how Oasis make you feel in 1 song
Listen Up - a very special one, just a powerful song from my fav Oasis album My Big Mouth - so much going on here, noise yes, but range of emotions too Cast No Shadow - see above (minus "noise"), reminds me of getting older A Bell Will Ring - saw Oasis live for first time on DBTT tour, love the uplifting lyrics Fade Away - what a rush! lyrics, music, everything perfect. Rather sad but staying strong, onwards Acquiesce - band split, we got BE and HFB but makes me really miss Noel and Liam together
Mine looks a lot like my favourites list but I'm keen to see what yours are like. So go ahead, indulge me.

A very interesting idea that will require a bit of thought. I'll be back...

I'll bite... The Beat Goes On - Free iTunes single of the week, and I liked it, but not enough to check Beady Eye out. Little did I know.. Wonderwall - As a big Beatles fan, I heard the familiar refrain "Oasis was a Beatles rip-off..." so I decided to see this terrible ripoff in action on Youtube. Wonderwall stopped me in my tracks. It was actually good! She's Electric - In the sidebar of the Wonderwall video was a link to this song and it made me a fan for life. The nod to "With a Little Help From my Friends" at the end just felt right. Do You Know What I Mean? - I listened to this song most mornings when I was getting off the bus for school. Made me feel 10 feet tall. This and Acquiesce encompass that invincible feeling I get when I listen to Oasis. Stop Crying Your Heart Out - When my nephew was born, he was a bit colicky, but he seemed to calm down when I sang him this song (a last ditch effort on my part to get him to shut up haha) Iz Rite - The summer that BE came out I was living overseas with family for a brief time. This album was comforting to listen to as I thought about 'back home.' Listen Up - The Masterplan is my all-time favorite album, mostly because of the time of my life that I was in when I bought it. I have a clear memory of standing outside my high school towards the end of my time there and just pondering life on a cloudy day listening to this song. Slide Away - This is the song that helped me get my first girlfriend. Thanks Oasis!
There's tons more, but these are the ones that stand out to me. I hope this thread takes off because I'd love to see more responses!

Some real surprises in there, especially seeing how TBGO got you into the band. And The MAsterplan is also my favourite album (though some don't consider an album, and that's okay too)

rock and roll star - to get the trip started lyla - to hit the highway speeding supersonic - too keepp the pace ciggarettes and alcohol - now your hitting a nice 80 on the thruway dyknwim - to keep it in cruise control
live forever stop cryin your heart out go let it out dlbia whatever - these 5 put you in sing song mode and before you know it you just drove 30 miles
listen up - your at the rest stop chillin and havin a coke and burger
hindu times - back on the road you need a riff like that to pick up speed again dont go away stand by me - with these two your back cruising speed feeling mellow as trip is almost complete skakermaker - gotta have the coke song on the road roll with it - just saw a cop and you dont give crap nobody standing in your way now
all around the world - your almost there traveled what seems like the world some might say - now your jammin slide away - your hoarse now but madferit champagne supernova - your off the thruway heading to the spot , smoking a doob and gettin high , wondering what every one else is doin while you and your mates are toking that doob
could name more tunes but that would get the trip done
