Oasis has revealed the tracklisting of its upcoming greatest hits collection, Stop the Clock, out November 20. The 18 tracks are:
1: Rock 'N' Roll Star (Defintely Maybe album cut)
2: Some Might Say (#1 hit, first single from What's the Story Morning Glory)
3: Talk Tonight (From the B-sides collection, The Masterplan)
4: Lyla (#1 hit, first Don't Believe the Truth single)
5: The Importance Of Being Idle (#1 hit, second Don't Believe the Truth single)
6: Wonderwall (#2, third Morning Glory single, and the band's sole big US hit)
7: Slide Away (Definitely Maybe album cut)
8: Cigarettes & Alcohol (#7, fourth and last Definitely Maybe single)
9: The Masterplan (From the B-sides collection, The Masterplan)
10: Live Forever (First top 10 hit, third Definitely Maybe single)
11: Acquiesce (From the B-sides collection, The Masterplan)
12: Supersonic (The band's first single, from Definitely Maybe)
13: Half The World Away (From the B-sides collection, The Masterplan)
14: Go Let It Out (#1 hit, first single from Standing on the Shoulders of Giants)
15: Songbird (final and least successful Heathen Chemstry single, hit #3)
16: Morning Glory (From Morning Glory, not a UK single, was released in the US, but not a major hit)
17: Champagne Supernova (Surprisingly not released as a single in the UK, was a fairly big hit in the US)
18: Don't Look Back In Anger (Final UK single from Morning Glory, a #1 UK hit and a minor US hit)
A very odd greatest hits tracklist indeed, chock full of major omissions:
1) Three of the band's UK #1's were left off. "D'You What I Mean," "All Around the World," "The Hindu Times"
2) "Whatever" wasn't included, which is too bad, since this great single was never on an Oasis album.
3) No tracks from third album Be Here Now were included. Not the #2 "Stand By Me," the US release "Don't Go Away" or the two #1s listed above. Very ood indeed.
4) The Heathen Chemistry hits are missing, "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" and "Little By Little," in addition to the #1 listed above. Only "Songbird," the album's final (and slightest) hit was included.
If it were up to me, I would have done:
1. Supersonic
2. Shakermaker
3. Live Forever
4. Whatever
5. Some Might Say
6. Roll With It
7. Wonderwall
8. Don't Look Back in Anger
9. Champagne Supernova
10. D'You What I Mean
11. Stand By Me
12. All Around the World
13. Go Let It Out
14. The Hindu Times
15. Little By Little
16. Lyla
17. The Importance of Being Idle
18. Let There Be Love
Which still leaves off great ones like "Don't Go Away," "Morning Glory," and "Songbird." What can you do? 2 disc set?

Nice blog! I need to go through and read more!
You are spot on about Oasis. Whatever is better than Masterplan and should have been on the CD. I Am impressed that Talk Tonight made it - that's a great one.
PS We are both in DC, btw!
