Every Oasis album ranked, from worst to best

Oasis — Every Oasis album ranked (list published 14 September 2026). The band’s catalogue still matters: after a blockbuster 2025 reunion tour, these records are the road map for anyone wanting the highs, the lows and the occasional glorious misstep.

Why this ranking matters

Oasis made some of the most instantly hummable rock songs of the 1990s and beyond. Their seven studio albums (1994–2008) plus the B-sides collection The Masterplan (1998) show a band that could be enormous, indulgent and heartbreakingly melodic in equal measure. Below, the records are ordered from least to greatest with a short note on what to expect.

1. Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants (2000) — A strange detour: starts strong with "Fuckin’ in the Bushes" and "Go Let It Out", and includes the fan favourite "Gas Panic!", but too much of the record drifts into limp AOR and an awkward first songwriting turn from Liam with "Little James".
2. Dig Out Your Soul (2008) — The band’s final studio statement. Singles like Noel’s "The Shock of the Lightning" and Liam’s "I’m Outta Time" stand out, yet much of the album slips by without leaving a mark.
3. Heathen Chemistry (2002) — A recovery from the previous slump: anthems such as "Little By Little", "Songbird" and "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" restore the band’s knack for big choruses even if production choices hold it back.
4. Don’t Believe The Truth (2005) — The strongest later-period record: the strut of "Lyla", Noel’s oddball turns and contributions from bandmates make this a rounded, surprisingly consistent set.
5. Be Here Now (1997) — Mythic for its excess and cocaine-era bloat, but listen again and tracks like "D’ya Know What I Mean" and "Stand By Me" still land; "All Around the World" remains infamous for its length.
6. The Masterplan (1998) — A B-sides collection that reads like a second greatest hits: "Acquiesce", "Fade Away", "Half the World Away" and "Talk Tonight" prove Noel’s songwriting depth in spades.
7. (What’s The Story) Morning Glory (1995) — The cultural monolith: almost every track could be a single. From "Wonderwall" to "Champagne Supernova", it’s the record that made Oasis a household name.
8. Definitely Maybe (1994) — The summit. An astonishing debut whose opening run ("Rock ‘n’ Roll Star", "Shakermaker", "Live Forever") and cuts like "Supersonic" and "Cigarettes And Alcohol" still sound vital and brazenly confident.

For newcomers, start at Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory. For curious collectors, The Masterplan reveals how deep the band’s best ideas ran. And for those chasing the live scream-along moments, the singles scattered across Heathen Chemistry and Don’t Believe The Truth do the job.
