Noel Gallagher is a rarity in the music business, remaining totally unafraid of airing opinions that potentially could get him into trouble. The former Oasis man says it how he sees it, and his biggest fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
Gallagher’s vicious tongue has given him a long list of enemies throughout his career, but it is also a reason why so many find him appealing. Over the years, he’s unleashed hell on everyone from Ed Sheeran to Radiohead and, in the same sentiment, there’s one band he believes to be “the most overrated group of all time”.
Characters such as Noel Gallagher are becoming a relic of the past as artists become more robotic and PR trained. While he occasionally oversteps the mark, it’s impossible to ignore that he’s a true entertainer.
Gallagher frequently punches up with his criticism and goes for those seen as critical darlings or successful enough that his words won’t damage them in the slightest. With that, one group that people unanimously tend to love is The Beach Boys. It’s accepted Pet Sounds is an album that changed contemporary music as we know it. However, Gallagher is a contrarian and isn’t sold on their output.
