These are all fucking horrific, but Glycerine is just that bit worse than the rest.

Wonderwall was EVERYWERE so that's a hating plus. But I wouldn't say it was a bad song. Lamely executed, yes.
Lightning crashes was performed in that overdramatic post grunge way, but it wasn't a bad song.
Glycerine and Santa Monica where super mediocre on the other hand.

I Do think Oasis wrote a few good songs but all of them were poorly executed.
BUsh and Everclear are just horsehit.
Live... I moderately enjoyed Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi back in the day. I think they were kinda "decent".

Wonderwall is far better than every other song listed here.
Sit and try to listen to "Lightning Crashes", how far can you make it? "The placenta falls to the floor". Easily the worst thing Live ever did. The Bush tune is a treacly but of sentimentality and Santa Monica had to be the next step in vapid southern Californiaism that was going towards Sugar Ray and Smashmouth.
But those songs are all pleasantly mediocre trifles, that Live song is actually painful, so self serious and ponderous.

Voted for live.
I would listen to Oasis all day before the other three, and Oasis are terrible. Morning Glory is a guilty pleasure on occasions mind.

Live, hands-down. I’d also vote “Closing Time” before any of these other tunes.

Dude from Bush is probably the worst lyricist of the era by far.
