Oasis Are Mad Fer The Hits

Its the hottest talking point across the country which tracks should appear on the Oasis greatest hits album? On Wednesday I revealed the band are launching an 18-track double album, Stop The Clocks, in November.

So far Noel and Liam Gallagher have only let us in on songs they will definitely include Acquiesce, Half The World Away, Wonderwall and Supersonic. But now Ive uncovered the full list of tracks Noel wants to make up the collection.

And it has thrown up a few surprises including two previously unreleased tunes. Noel has had the two new songs up his sleeve for years title track Stop The Clocks and Boy With The Blues. Way back in October 2002 Noel said: I have a song called Stop The Clocks, which at the moment is acoustic, but could be massive. I wrote it quite recently and I think its the best song Ive ever written. The few people that have heard it really like it.

Ive got so bored waiting for TheLa's to come back that it sounds like how Id want them to if they did return. Later that year Noel added: It was written while Liam was doing vocals for Stop Crying Your Heart Out. The album was based round that song, its a kind of long Champagne Supernova-thing. Its got fantastic lyrics and a great vibe. Weve got six or seven versions of it because none of them quite sat in the pocket.

Noel gave the song a rare outing at the Zanzibar Club in Liverpool back in 2003 in an acoustic session with bandmate Gem Archer.

The rest of the album includes their eight No1 singles, three other singles, three B-sides and two album tracks. But there are some big surprises.

I never thought Noel would have rated Lyla, The Importance Of Being Idle and Go Let It Out ahead of legendary rock anthems such as Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
