Wonderwall V Stop Crying your heart out

Which is better?

SCYHO was released in 2002. Oasis were years past there peak. This song seemed to come and go quite quickly.

Have noticed it has gained gravitas over the years. Positive lyrics and the Gallaghers singing together.

Wonderwall was hailed as an instant classic in the middle of Oasis mania & Cool Britannia. That view has not changed.

Wonderwall but both are great.

Just had a look at some 'best Oasis songs' lists.

Wonderwall is always high. SCYHO is never anywhere to be seen. Although is the forth highest streamed Oasis song.

Stop Cryin' Your Heart Out.  A good later period Oasis hit. I find Wonderwall boring but it is a nicely constructed pop song and probably the band's second most listened to song.

My suggestion for the setlist of the shows next year.

Tape Intro: Fuckin' in the Bushes
1. Hello
2. Acquiesce
3. Supersonic
4. Roll with It

21. Rock 'n' Roll Star

I voted for Wonderwall it sends me to sleep marginally quicker than the other one

Actually i would like to change my vote as the other turd i now recall was famously and very amusingly used when Ingerlund bombed out of yet another footy tournament by the bbc or whoever was screening it over a montage of them being the shite losers they are.

So for comedy value that track wins.

Never liked Stop Crying Your Heart Out.  Once you get past the memes and the overplay, Wonderwall is actually pretty good imo.

Both are dismal. Oasis only ever wrote 9 good songs and neither feature on the list

So that's why both songs together have only had 2.5 billion streams.

Both are dismal, IMHO. Oasis only ever wrote 9 good songs, and neither feature on the list. I don’t care if they have, collectively, 2.5 billion streams, I still think they’re shit.

Both songs were written at different stages.

WW in the middle of Noel's purple patch.

Think he got lucky with SCYHO. After years of below par songs, a good song popped up.

Either way, they are Oasis's first & forth most streamed songs.

Just listened to 'Whatever'. Liked it.

That song was a stand alone single before they were huge so never really listened to it.

Could have gone on WTSMG. However they were already pushing there luck including 'Some Might Say' which had also been a stand alone single months before the album.

Shape of You has 4 billion.

SCYHO is one of two great tracks from Heathen Chemistry which is what i consider to be their most overlooked album.  It was the album Liam finally showed he could write decent lyrics and gave us another hidden gem in the B-side Heart of a Star.
