From a writing standpoint, undoubtedly true. Thing is… “my era” was very much the Oasis era and yet I just want them to write about new music.
Honestly think 1999 was one of the best years for music. Just not for male guitar bands

I was saying that about Noel Gallagher in 1994 already. I was biased, though. Because I was pissed off at people asking me if I’d copied his hairstyle.

to be fair… he’s not wrong.
Eurgh. Just reinforces in my head the perception that he is now one of ‘them’. Surprised his name didn’t crop up in the Paradise Papers. Dick.

just to be clear, you think the beach boys aren’t overrated?
Fair enough. fwiw I’ve always disliked Noel, but I think this is the first time we’ve agreed on something.

Pet Sounds > Sgt Peppers. Every day of the week.
I’ve never been a regular NME reader, but the C86 tape is for me a milestone in alternative music. I’d have liked a 2016 equivalent, but from what I’ve seen on the website they just champion mainstream bollocks.
Noel Gallagher is a tosser. Even before he opens his mouth.

I finally deleted the bookmark I had to the NME news page a few weeks ago, and I have to say I feel a lot better for it.
