Wonderwall
Both versions are great! It depends on the mood which one I prefer!
More melancolic-happy (Oasis) or more melancolic-sad (Ryan Adams).

Comments about Wonderwall:
I don't like either one of these choices, but Oasis sounds a little better to me.

The Oasis version has 1% of the speed of a decent song, has a regular time signature, and at least a slightly complex drum beat. The Ryan Adams version has, like 50% of the speed of the Oasis version, no time signature to speak of, and a beyond-simple drum beat. Both songs are bad, but the Ryan Adams version is particularly horrible.

I've got to say: I'm a fan of both probably a bit more Ryan Adams. I saw Ryan Adams open for Oasis in Seattle in 2008. However, I do believe the oasis version is better. The composition of the music perfectly balances the lyrics. whereas Adams version doesn't really have a hook, I never really got into it. I kept waiting for him to explode a bit.

It's interesting that everyone voting for Oasis says their cover is the best "because their awesome", whereas Ryan Adams voters provide an explaination. Sounds like Ryan's is acknowledged as the best version, Oasis fans just don't want to admit it. I agree btw, Ryan Adams takes the emotion of the song to a whole new level; he makes you listen to the lyrics and you can't not relate to it.

Don't get me wrong, Ryan did a fantastic job of covering this song but there is no comparison. The oasis version is far better. The fact that wonderwall ranks wayyyyyy down on the list of best oasis songs is a testament to just how amazing they are!
ROCK ON NOEL!!!

I think Ryan's version of Wonderwall is one of the best covers ever done. He actually makes the song better.

Look, as a poster stated below, Noel Gallagher even said Ryan Adams is the only person who ever got the song right. He would vote for Ryan Adams, and so do I.
Ryan Adams version is a notch above, carries so much more emotion that Oasis' when RA sings "You're my wonderwall" it sounds like he means it.

Find the vid clip of Noel Gallagher's live performance at The Chapel in Melbourne, Australia on December 11, 2006. He sings Wonderwall and it's hands down the best version of the song I've heard. Clearly inspired by Ryan Adams cover (which is fantastic) but it proves that Oasis owns Wonderwall.

In a Spin Interview (October 2008) Noel Gallagher says "I think Ryan Adams is the only one who got that song right. I'd love to do the Ryan Adams version, but in front of 60,000 Oasis fans, that wouldn't be possible." (p 70)
I agree. I got to see Ryan Adams when he was touring with Oasis. I would have liked them to play it together, but in the end, Oasis played it.
My vote is for Ryan- he just has more emotion in his voice than Liam.

Ryan Adams version def. trumps Oasis. So much more emotion and just pure music on the part of Ryan Adams, taking this hit song and just bringing it to a whole different level. You can feel it.
