Oasis' Noel Gallagher Disses Radiohead
News
Oasis' Noel Gallagher / Radiohead's Thom Yorke
Considering his not-so-nice comments in SPIN's October issue, it's safe to assume that Oasis' Noel Gallagher isn't exactly Radiohead's biggest fan. And now, after constant comparisons to the art-rock titans, the singer/songwriter is lashing out once again -- with the band's sound in his crosshairs.

"Correct me if I'm wrong," says Gallagher, "they've been making the same record since Kid A, have they not?" Still, he admits that he admires the Radiohead's work -- albeit from a safe distance. "Every time I see them live they blow me away, but you know, it's kind of we make very accessible rock and roll music and they constantly make difficult electronic records."
Let's assume Noel probably didn't pay for In Rainbows.

Oasis have never been anything more than unoriginal hacks that rip off the Beatles. I think Noel's secret motive for dissing Radiohead is to get some press. Well it worked, he's got me talking about him and I never spend any time thinking about his crappy band. It goes without saying that Radiohead are more creative then Noel's band. Didn't he diss Blur one time too? Yeah, Damon Alburn is more talented than his crappy band too.

Wow, you would think Noel Gallagher would keep up on the new albums in rock especially those coming out of the U.K. He really must have missed "In Rainbows" completely which even to the non-musician is a complete change from the previous more electronic based sound that really only was very prominent on Kid A and Amnesiac. Way to take one of the bands that constantly makes an effort to change their sound album to album, and make a comment stating the complete opposite. Noel Gallagher has just truly proven his ignorance. Oh, and has Oasis been evolving since "What's the Story Morning Glory?" Sorry, I didn't notice.

The same record since Kid A? this dude should really pay attention to what he listens... thats IF he actually listens to Radiohead's records at all. I started listening to Radiohead just about 3 months ago... and I can't stop listening to them. That doesn't happen to me very often. Every album is so unique. Thom's vocals are so perfect, the tones he uses just blow me away. Its amazing how a 3 or 4 chord song can sound like a masterpiece when played by Radiohead. Jonny's multitalented personallity shines through every record. Ed's guitar playing and second vocals are always in tune. They have an amazing and solid rythm section. I mean... whoever doesnt like Radiohead most likely still watches MTV. Seriously, pick up a Radiohead album and listen to it... REALLY listen to it.. and say hello to a new obssesion ;-).
