Amazon.co.uk Review
Terrace anthem heroes or rock plagiarists: how will history judge Oasis? Well, if a band's 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

ripp off
why is stand by me not on it? and many others are missing from the be here now album, there biggest and best selling album along with morning glory! and not only that but they include tracks instead from there b-side album! oasis were a great band in the 90s but since be here now in 1997 they have either been very average or very crap, i would advise buying there first three albums for the real greatest hits of oasis, because now they are just overated!

PURE PERFECTION
Pure pop perfection from the best thing to come out of Manchester since Georgie Best.
Oasis are the greatest rock band ever - a combination of The Stone Roses and The Buzz Kids.
Every song is a classic and equal to If Looks Could Kill, Ziggy Stardust, Suburban Rebels, Nothing Compares 2 U, Love Will Tear Us Apart...
Oasis are THe Beatles and much much more!!!

Good Little album!
all 18 tracks are very listenable!! yes we know there could have been about 100 tracks that could have been inclueded in this! but the 18 that are on it are very solid and this would make a great present or just a great album to listen to!!!!
