Oasis track tops Radio X poll of best British song of all time - see the top 100 list
Liam and Noel Gallagher are loved by millions and have an impressive 16 tracks in the top 100 Best British Songs poll from Global radio station, Radio X
Live Forever by Oasis has been crowned the best British song of all time in a new poll ahead of the band's highly-anticipated reunion tour this summer.
The Manchester band led by Noel and Liam Gallagher had an incredible 16 tracks in the top 100 results by Radio X. As well as Live Forever, 'Don't Look Back In Anger,' 'Slide Away' and 'Champagne Supernova' also made the top 10. It was Radio X's 10 th annual Best Of British with B&Q poll.
Queen's iconic 1975 anthem 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is named second in the list for a consecutive year, while The Stone Roses ' 'I Am The Resurrection' moves up one place to fifth. The Rolling Stones' 'Gimme Shelter' jumps up two places to sixth, and Geordie hero Sam Fender's 'Seventeen Going Under' re-enters the top 10, moving up five places into seventh. Arctic Monkeys' '505' and Amy Winehouse's 'Back To Black' make up the rest of the top 10, coming in ninth and 10 th respectively.
Ahead of kicking off their world tour this summer, Oasis dominate the Best Of British poll as the most popular artist with 16 entries – two more than last year – with fan favourites like 'The Masterplan,' 'Morning Glory' and 'Wonderwall' all making it into the top 100.
Behind Oasis are Arctic Monkeys with eight tracks in total, followed closely by The Stone Roses with seven, who also had this year's highest climber – 'Fools Gold,' jumping up 68 places to 11th place!
It is no surprise to see Oasis doing well in the survey as they are at the forefront of many fans' minds ahead of their reunion tour this Summer.
On Sunday Liam Gallagher teased fans on X, formerly twitter, as the gigs got closer saying: 'Not long to go now kids.' When someone said they couldn't wait for the Manchester shows, Liam replied: 'You can't wait? I'm climbing the walls.'
Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together since the band split in 2009 on July 4 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.
The line up for the band is also now thought to have been completed with rehearsals for the whole band also expected to start next month.
Liam and Noel Gallagher are bringing in newcomer Joey Waronker on drums alongside more established former Oasis band members on guitars.
The full line up is thought to be Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker.
The shows will also feature special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast, who are friends up the band.
On the poll results, Matt Deverson, Managing Editor of Radio X, said: ''Live Forever' had to be number one, didn't it? And with Oasis dominating the 100 with 16 songs in the list, it reflects the growing excitement among Radio X listeners for what will be the biggest music and cultural moment of the year, from the biggest band in the world right now!'

It's run by Lima-born chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, known for his innovative take on Nikkei cuisine which blends the ingredients of his home city with the culinary techniques of Japan, where he has his roots. Maido was followed by Asador Etxebarri in Atxondo, Spain, Mexico City's Quintonil, Madrid's Diverxo and Alchemist in Copenhagen. Tokyo's highest ranking restaurant is Sézanne, which took the seventh spot, just behind Bangkok's Gaggan.
