Times of Discover News: Check out Liam Gallagher's original music on his 52nd birthday. From Oasis classics to solo smashes, Liam's powerful vocals and timeless words have left an indelible mark on rock music.

The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, were the heart and soul of Oasis. While the size of the band contributed to their success, the brothers' dynamic stage presence inspired many young people to embrace rock and roll. Noel writes most of the lyrics, but Liam's powerful vocals are just as important. He can sing love and rock songs with equal skill. Liam's singing created a phenomenal and influential music that made Oasis one of the most iconic bands of the 1990s. On this special occasion of the singer's 52nd birthday, we look at his top 10 songs:

2. I Wait, I Think, I Know

Despite the public's dissatisfaction with the band at the time, Liam reached new heights when he sang along with I Hope, I Think, I Know. The chorus—"When we beg, we steal and we borrow/Life goes up and down and goes/I want, I think, I know/If I ever tell you I'm bad"—gotcha, you catch me while I'm about to.

3. Live Forever

Written by his brother Noel Regardless, Liam perfectly reflects the style and message of Living Forever. The lyrics—"Maybe you're just like me/We'll see things they've never seen/You and I will live forever"—are powerful and inspiring. Liam's stunning vocals on this track are some of his best, making him a fan favorite at live shows. No other Oasis song matches the impact of this song.

4. Slide Away

Slide Away is another great track from Oasis' first album. The bass is great and the melody is great too, so it's a great love song. The verses take you on the path of a man looking for his lover. Liam's vocals exude a feeling of love, which fans love, even if the track is a bit of a departure from their signature rock style.

5. Somebody Could Say

Oasis' first UK Singles Chart number one, Say Some Might, reminded fans what the band was all about. Liam's vocals are amazing, the harmonies helping the song reach new milestones. Lyrics like "Some say the sun comes after the thunder/Go tell the man who can't shine" show the depth and telling skill of the song.

6. Let's Dance to This

Roll It Over, a standout track from Oasis' fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, where Liam describes trying to reconnect with a close friend after being out of touch for so long: ""I blame the change". The times/The ideas I mentioned – okay?" At the time, fans weren't on good terms with the band, but the song sent a clear message that Liam was here to stay.

7. Begin Again

Start Again showcases Beady Eye's potential as a band and is the final track on their last original album, BE. A departure from their typically lively rock and roll style, this song highlights Liam's skills as a strong songwriter, with lyrics reminiscent of Carole King or James Taylor. This track feels like a prophecy for Liam's solo career, with an encouraging message of starting anew even after the original band disbanded.

8. Rock 'n' Roll Star

The opening track of Oasis' first album, Definitely Maybe, released in 1994, Rock 'n' Roll Star reached number one in the U.S. as a single. It reached number one in airplay. Liam's vocals, combined with the rock beat, perfectly capture the young adult fantasy vibe that this song is meant to evoke. The letters indicate the date of their residency in Manchester. Liam's performance on the song is considered a milestone for Oasis as a major rock band.

9. Don't Go Too Far

This song is from Oasis' third album, Be Here Now. Don't Go Too Far reflects the vulnerable feelings Liam experiences when his mother abandons him at a crucial time in his life. The sensitivity of his singing makes the song a deeply emotional experience, often bringing fans to tears. The track remains unique among rock and roll masterpieces to this day.

10. Wall of Glass

Wall of Glass was the lead single from Liam Gallagher's first solo album, As You Were. The singer based the album's sound on guitar and drums, aiming to show the world who he was as a rock artist. The song makes a clear mission statement in its lyrics: "And any stone you throw / Will find its way / One day you'll break through / Like a wall of glass." It peaked at #21 on the UK Singles Chart and remains his best-selling single as a solo artist.
