Hard to narrow down to 5, but here goes:
1. Wonderwall - An instant classic - I pulled over and bought this the first time I heard it. An immaculate blend of songwriting and attitude.
2. Slide Away - "We're two of a kind, we'll find a way" My favorite Oasis guitar solo starts 2:04, but only the album version does it justice. Great ending.
3. Live Forever - This is the best version ever recorded. "Maybe I will never be all the things that I want to be".
4. Acquiesce - An aggressive song with great harmonies.
5. Talk Tonight and Sad Song - Couldn't decide between these acoustic gems for the last spot.
Random Bonus: The Killers "Smile Like You Mean It" sung by David Gray.

5. Some Might Say
and since you had 6:
She's Electric
Columbia and SMS are among my favorites. The 10 minute rendition of Columbia that ended the concert we went to 13 years ago at the Bronco Bowl is one of my favorite concert ending.
Love the recent Pearl Jam, Pumpkins and Oasis posts. I'll humbly submit Listen Up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhAAnEgDJo4&feature=PlayList&p=AD4896A58A8E1D87&index=15,
Whatever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hcapUYHjZk
and this version of Slide Away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHcKcAzjlYA that has to be my favorite. Thanks for reminding us of the greatness.
All three of those are great - the Live Forever I posted and the Whatever you posted - I have both on that acoustic CD I bought back in the day - I'll have Appraiser burn it and distribute.
I love Wonderwall but I think Ryan Adams' cover is even better than the original. Even Noel complimented him on it saying "I really didn't get this song until I heard Ryan's take on it".
