Top 20 iconic Oasis lyrics revealed – and fans might be divided on number one | Music | Entertainment

The top 20 best Oasis lyrics have been unveiled – with “Don’t look back in anger, I heard you say” clinching the title of the most iconic. A survey of 2,000 adults also placed “I said maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me”, from ‘Wonderwall‘ and “Can I ride with you in your BMW?” from ‘Supersonic’ among the favourites.

Other legendary lines making the top 20 list include “All your dreams are made when you’re chained to the mirror and the razor blade” from What’s the Story Morning Glory, and “We believe in one another”, from Acquiesce.

The research was carried out by global mobility service SIXT, which, taking a cue from the lyric ‘Can I ride with you in your BMW?’, is offering Oasis fans the opportunity to drive a premium BMW for free to travel to the band’s forthcoming London concerts from 1st to 3rd August.

Andrew Smith, MD of SIXT in the UK, commented: “The level of excitement around the band’s reunion is rarely seen, so this is our own tribute, inspired by the lyrics we love.”

The study suggests that a strong emotional impact is what makes a lyric unforgettable, which could explain why certain songs have helped people reconnect with loved ones or inspired them to embark on road trips after listening.

It was revealed that a third of people believe Oasis’ music is ideal for a road trip, with a quarter saying the songs evoke joyful memories for them.

Many admit they are extremely jealous of those who managed to get tickets to the reunion tour, as only 17 percent of fans polled were able to snag tickets.

Andrew Smith from SIXT UK, which is giving out complimentary bucket hats to anyone named Liam or Noel hiring a vehicle from one of their London Wembley, Heathrow or Edinburgh locations during tour dates, added: “We’ve seen a real surge in demand for premium vehicles, especially in cities along the tour route, and it’s clear fans are keen to travel in true rock and roll style.

“We all know the iconic role the band has played across different generations so we’re giving fans a chance to live out their own Supersonic moment.”
