Noel Gallagher isn't going to like your top choice

Oasis fans have declared 'Live Forever' is the song they most want to see in the band's setlist – during the very tour that's seen the Gallaghers drop the song for the first time.

NME.COM users were asked to nominate their ultimate Oasis setlist on our blog and after adding up all of the individual submissions, the band's 1994 single has come out as the song fans most want to see live.

The ultimate Oasis setlist (in order of popularity) was:

'Live Forever'
'Rock 'N' Roll Star'
'Champagne Supernova'
'Morning Glory'
'Acquiesce'
'Wonderwall'
'Don't Look Back in Anger'
'Cigarettes And Alcohol'
'Slide Away'
'The Shock Of The Lightning'
'The Masterplan'
'Whatever'


Ironically 'Live Forver''s win comes just as the song has been demoted from the band's setlist on the current UK tour, though with Noel Gallagher announcing a series of stadium summer shows there is a chance it will be back for their 2009 jaunt.

Not bad at all. Wouldn't mind seeing Fade Away or Headshrinker too

Is it not telling that with the exception of one song, you could have seen this gig in 1996? 12 years ago? Apart from hoary old acts like Led Zep/The Who/Stones, I can't think of another currently touring band of whom the same could be said, even the likes of U2/REM. All credit to them that we can mention them in the same breath as the above and it doesn't seem laughable, but lets accept: Oasis are a museum piece.

Do you think if their new album was released under a different name it'd have sold as many copies? Would people be talking about some new band and their 'dig out your soul' album?

Its ridiculous they dont play more from Be Here Now, such a great album. I know they have played My Big Mouth recently but i'd love to hear The Girl In The Dirty Shirt, I Hope I Think I Know & Magic Pie performed live too.

All the songs in the setlist are good but Shock Of The Lightning is best. They've really done well with their new album.

I think it's a shame that there aren't any new songs except The Shock Of The Lightning on the list. Personally I would love to hear ie D'You Know What I Mean?, My Big Mouth, Gas Panic, The Hindu Times, Born On A Different Cloud, Turn Up The Sun, Mucky Fingers, Lord Don't Slow Me Down, Bag It Up, The Turning, The Boy With The Blues etc.Oasis setlists are too short and have too few newer songs!

I don't mind them dropping live forever- summit had to give, they've so much material and personally I see it as more of a stadium anthem than one for the smaller venues. Saw them in Bournemouth last night- sensational!
