* SignatureSong: "Wonderwall", The band has many highly popular songs which could be candidates ("Live Forever", "Stand by Me", "Supersonic", "Stop Crying Your Heart Out") but "Wonderwall" is really their most massive hit and [[Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale the only 90s song visible from space]].

* MemeticMutation: "Anyway, here's 'Wonderwall'".[[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to its fame, simple arrangement, and easy-to-learn melody, "Wonderwall" became a common fixture for amateur guitarists, especially at parties. The sheer prevalence of the song among this crowd resulted in it becoming a subject of jokes, often revolving around people segueing into {{cover version}}s of "Wonderwall" at comedically inappropriate times.[[/labelnote]]

* FirstInstallmentWins: All Oasis fans with very few exceptions like ''Music/DefinitelyMaybeAlbum'' and ''Music/WhatsTheStoryMorningGlory'', and to the general public those albums (along with the non-album single "Whatever" and the B-sides from these album eras collected on ''The Masterplan'', especially the TitleTrack, "Half the World Away", "Talk Tonight" and "Acquiesce") ''are'' Oasis.

Granted, they have several popular and well-liked songs among their following material ("Stand by Me", "Stop Crying Your Heart out", "The Importance of Being Idle", "Songbird", "Little by Little"), but all in all their later albums lack the popularity and appreciation of the first two albums by the band.



*** Although the single "Shakermaker" is reasonably well-known, it's often considered as a rather bad song, being often considered as kind of an overproduced psychedelic rock pastiche, and... well, see SuspiciouslySimilarSong.

* EpilepticTrees: Just who 'Sally' from "Don't Look Back in Anger" is supposed to be has been debated among fans for ''years'', despite Noel saying numerous times that it is not any specific person (Noel ''has'' stated in an interview he did alongside Liam, that the name was Liam's idea). This still hasn't stopped people pestering him about it. To this day, fans still come up with such EpilepticTrees theories as her being a former girlfriend of one of the bandmates, the same subject as Music/TheStoneRoses' song "Sally Cinnamon", and even being a metaphor for drugs.

** With Music/{{Genesis}}, mainly due to Noel Gallagher's hatred of Music/PhilCollins. Some Oasis fans agree with Noel and consider Genesis (especially the Phil era) to be lame and overwrought. While Genesis fans dislike Oasis for being derivative of other artists, compositionally simplistic, and often mock how Noel's favorite album by Genesis is the genrally forgettable debut ''Music/FromGenesisToRevelation''.
