Greatest Hits is their dispatch to the ages, Stop The Clocks -- a two CD collection that spans the ins and outs of their career from debut single "Supersonic" to 2005's sixth studio album Don't Believe The Truth -- suggests that whether you believe they lost their way in a blizzard of cocaine around the time of 1997's Be Here Now or put their first foot wrong the day Liam first put crayon to paper as lyricist -- at their best they're quite simply at the top of their game. First up, a run-through the early stuff: band manifesto "Rock'n'Roll Star', their first chart-topper "Some Might Say", and its B-side, the acoustic, Noel-sung "Talk Tonight". In such context, later efforts like "Lyla" and "Go Let It Out" lack the obvious hunger of what came before, but they demonstrate exactly why Oasis got as huge as they did: their affinity for the stomping, Slade-derived swagger and runway-width choruses just perfect for filling stadiums and football fields. Fans who shelled out for Oasis' B-sides compilation The Masterplan might feel mugged by the decision to reprise four tracks here, but a genuine Oasis Best Of wouldn't seriously work without the presence of "Acquiesce". Live forever? These songs just might. --Louis Pattison

Advantages: An album of classics, with bonus DVD Disadvantages: One or two great tunes missed out
As a massive Oasis fan, I eagerly awaited the release of this greatest hits album, one that could and maybe should have been released two or three years ago. It has most of the lovable classics on here from the early days, aswell as those from their last album Don't Believe The Truth. Here is the track listings

Advantages: 18 quality tunes Disadvantages: An unneccesary purchase for fans who already own thier studio albums
A greatist hits collection comprising of 18 Oasis tunes, this is a necessary purchase for anyone wanting to hear a selection of Oasis' best songs. Although this is a strong greatist hits album, my personal opinion is that if you already own oasis' study albums your not missing anything. The DVD is worth watching, but not something you are likely to go back to on a regular basis. In my opinion this is an album for 'music lovers' not 'Oasis fans', ...

Additional notes
Album Notes: Although long-players like DEFINITELY MAYBE and (WHAT'S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY are certified Britpop classics, Oasis has always been a singles band, so 2006's two-disc best-of, STOP THE CLOCKS, was a welcome arrival. Oasis has never been touted for their groundbreaking originality, but it's precisely their retro-styled concoction of irrepressible hooks and alternately chiming and roaring guitars that makes their music so appealing. STOP THE CLOCKS drives that point home and then some.
Album Reviews: Mojo (p.124) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he experience, to be frank, is quite revelatory....Perhaps the biggest surprise is just how exciting and powerful the old chestnuts sound."
