Ahead of Oasis playing Croke Park next month, here's a list of their best songs, filled with snarling guitars and bravado
As the Gallagher brothers begin their new tour, Marc Beaumont and Roisin O'Connor pick out their favourite tracks by the Manchester band ©UK Independent Are you, or do you know, a 'Wonderwall warrior'? One of the many Gen-Zers who used their ninja-like internet skills to beat drug-muddled original fans to Oasis tickets, despite only knowing their most famous song? Wondering – aloud, online, to much gnashing of teeth by furry-hood-wearing parka dads who missed out – if they have any other good songs you should listen to before you go? At your service. Oasis, at least up until around 1996 or so, were among Britpop's most brazen purveyors of songwriting excellence, thundering riffs and lyrics made up on the spot about the producer's dog. Their early years produced a veritable deluge of classics that marked them out as one of the top-tier acts in rock history, and they sporadically tapped that same rich seam even after the drugs stopped working.

Hospital among first to trial new electric bike
A hospital in East Yorkshire is one of the first NHS sites in England to trial a new electric bike. The quadracycle eCargo bike is being tested by the porter team at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. It will be in use for a trial period of 12 months, carrying linen, gas cylinders, and other medical equipment and essentials across the site. If successful, the bike, which must be pedalled to gain assistance from the electric motor, will replace a van as part of a drive to reduce carbon emissions and operational costs. The project was funded by Active Travel England's Capability Fund. Marc Beaumont, head of sustainability at Hull & East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "The eCargo bike is a fantastic addition to our fleet and will help to contribute to our net zero ambitions. "With its own solar field, Castle Hill is already leading the way when it comes to hospital sustainability, and we hope to use the electricity we generate ourselves to recharge the new eCargo bike batteries." Andrew Bradley, sustainable travel lead, net zero travel and transport for NHS England, said: "We hope this project will be the first of many, showcasing what is possible."
