Noel Gallagher & The Beach Boys

[The Real Barnyard]

Could this be considered a respectable opinion?

He's a loudmouthed twat. Him and his brother both are. I don't find him a respectable opinion; his greatest song is Wonderwall. Oasis is shite. Utter rubbish.

[The Shift]

What an arrogant plonker. This from the guy whose output so far has consisted of rerecorded mash-ups of ’60s hits.  Ho hum…

[hypehat]

Noel, my gnomic mancunian Moriarty, we meet again!

In fantastic news, listening to him on Jools this week. He breaks into falsetto quite a lot, and some songs have 'interlocking' vocal harmonies. BARBERSHOP MUSIC!

[SMiLE Brian]

Doesn't the UK media treat these hacks like superstars even today?

Couldn't agree more. Take the Pet Sounds Box, take TSS... those alone make for 9 CDs of total, unrivalled originality and experimentation. Gallager wishes that he'd only written one song of the quality thereon. Instead, he chooses the path of the talent-free, the self-proclaimed representants of the lower classes. Blah blah blah... he is:

I am an Oasis fan - however Noel is so narrow minded when it comes to the Beach Boys. Obviously has never listened to them to bear that sort of opinion. But then again he likes New Order and Coldplay and I can't stick either of them...

There was an interview with him like 10 years ago where he said pretty much the same.
It's his opinion and he's entitled to it, but obviously it's a rubbish one.
The problem is that unfortunately it's also what most people outside this board think as well (if  they know who the BB are at all).

I think you're partially right. But then: he may be awfully jealous about the fact that the BBs always could count on the unreserved respect of intelligent critics, built up a gigantic cult following, and had an entire fan industry playing around with a legendary album that wasn't even released. None of this applies to Oasis. Hell, even their tribute bands are better than the real thing...

The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson were and are all about beauty and unforgettable compositions, arrangements, and production.

Oasis was all about booze, cigarettes, and drunken in-fighting.

Eh, wait...

Noel's a brilliant songwriter. Not Brian Wilson brilliant, obviously, but the whole "LOL ALL HE DOES IS RIP OFF THE BEATLES" stuff is media-fed ignorance and really isn't true for the majority of their stuff.

Kind of upsetting that he has such a low opinion of the Beach Boys, but ah well. Referring to them as "barbershop quartet music" shows ignorance on his part, too. Just saw the guy in concert a couple weeks ago, should've tossed a Smile box set at his face near the end of the show. imo.

Also, what in the f*ck is Mark Hoppus doing interviewing Noel Gallagher?

This, too. Pretty upsetting. You can't even start in to say they're great and underappreciated without "LOL THE BAND THAT DID 'KOKOMO'/'FUN FUN FUN'??! DERRPP SGT.PEPPERS"

[STE]

Is he the Blink182 guy?   It's always good to discover new "famous" BB fans.
Slightly related, they recorded a nice "Dead Man's Curve" cover once.

Heard that line from so many people.

Yerp. Just a strange combination of folks talking here, I guess. But yeah, never a bad thing to hear someone giving the Beach Boys the love they deserve.

You're absolutely right. He also rips off the Kinks, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, all of the solo Beatles, The Lovin' Spoonful, Stevie Wonder, that coke song, T Rex...

You omitted Oasis.

[Sam_BFC]

At least he acknowledges the 'brilliance' of Good Vibrations, which is quite high praise coming from him, I guess 

[The Heartical Don]

Oasis will be seen as a minor pop entity in 20 years time.

The BBs will only grow in stature.

And Gallagher will still be denouncing them in the old age pensioners' home.

That's life.

Two of the blink-182 members cameoed as Jan and Dean in a movie.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhCFRcAl7ys

I doubt it. Oasis were the most important UK band in the 90s and two of their albums still consistently rank in the UK press as two of the greatest albums ever made. Oasis's place in musical lore is cemented, and the enormous respect they their peers like Pete Townshend, Johnny Rotten, Johnny Marr, and John Squire pretty much assures their place in that continuum. So what if he doesn't like The Beach Boys. John Lennon hated The Hollies at one point but I can still find a place in my heart for both.

I have more posts than you do.

Haha.

In that case, you win.

OMG. A musician has an opinion. How very dare he!
