The conceit of B-sides collections is usually that they document the margins of a career; in Oasis's case, the margins were as strong as the centre. The songs gathered here were cast off from singles not because they were inferior but because the A-sides happened to be \u003cstrong\u003e\"Supersonic\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Some Might Say\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Wonderwall\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is to say they were cast off because Noel Gallagher was producing work at a rate that would have stocked any other band's albums twice over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout tracks include \u003cstrong\u003e\"Acquiesce\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, a dual-vocal Noel-and-Liam piece that many fans consider the best song the band ever recorded, its chorus arriving with the force of something that had been waiting years to be written; \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Masterplan\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, a piano-led acoustic track of genuine tenderness that shows a side of Noel's writing largely absent from the studio albums; \u003cstrong\u003e\"Half the World Away\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, later used as the theme to the BBC television series \u003cem\u003eThe Royle Family\u003c\/em\u003e and one of the most perfectly weighted ballads in the British songbook; and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Talk Tonight\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, an intimate acoustic piece Noel wrote in San Francisco during the band's first American tour.
