Out of all of Oasis' Singles, which do you believe had the best selection of songs on it. The two that came to mind immediately were Some Might Say and Cigarettes and Alcohol, they are probably the front runners for this, personally I would JUST give it to Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Either Some Might Say or Stand By Me for me...though if truth were told, Some Might Say could easily have worked as a standalone EP with the songs that were on there.
For me, the bigger question is which was the worst from the 90's and for that I'd have to sadly go for Live Forever. That single with just an acoustic version of a song on the album and a live version of a song that was realeased two songs ago? Sure Cloudburst is ok but it alone cannot carry it

I would say Cigarettes & Alcohol but I can't get past I Am The Walrus. It goes on too long, the outro should have been cut or the track should have been on last. The less said about it being on there anyway when they could have used A N OTHER track that they had stored away (Take Me, Colour My Life etc) and that is why I can't ever give my vote for Cigarettes & Alcohol

Sure Cloudburst is ok but it alone cannot carry it With the Live Forever thing you have to take into account the fact that the single came out 3 weeks before the album so the acoustic version of Up In The Sky would have felt like a decent offering at the time. The live Supersonic was a way to push them as a live band I guess? Maybe that should have been something different. |

Alright, I will give you that for Up In The Sky acoustic but Supersonic (live) will always bug me about that single. Are you telling me they didn't have anything else, even demo wise? Why not Strange Thing? That would have fit really nicely |

Was it? Honestly haven't heard of that before. Is that true guigsysEstring ? 'Step Out' was originally on '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' and remained listed even on promo copies but as an additional track, not a replacement for 'Some Might Say'.  The track had been sent to Stevie Wonder's publishers for clearance over the 'Uptight' lift but the reply they received demanded the highest royalty rate (Hewitt- Getting High The Adventures of Oasis p337) which from my own memory would have been about six percent of the publishing although they could have asked for even more. Noel was later quoted in Loaded Magazine as saying:- |

He actually wanted to call it 'The Jam' but didn't because he thought Paul Weller might get offended, and it was too late to change it when PW said he should have kept them because he actually found it funny  |

The reissued singles are available on Big Brother Recordings Ltd via the usual sources such as Amazon, although they are pricey for the CD but second hand via the same sources you can get most for under £1. If you mean the original Creation Records ones that may be an eil.com or eBay hunt with prices varying. |

Always found it a little strange that Whatever had Slide Away as b-side and always wondered if that was possibly because Creation wanted Slide Away as the 5th single (sure I remember an interview with Noel about that, Lock the Box interview maybe?) as well as, of course, saving Oasis from recording another song as b-side for the song
