Legendary singer-songwriter-guitarist Noel Gallagher has lashed out at the pop charts of today – and claimed that his old band Oasis and their iconic Britpop rivals Blur were the last great alternative rock bands to make an ‘assault’ into the top 10.
The star has been busy working with his new band The High Flying Birds, who’ve enjoyed a decent amount of success since their debut album came out last year, but after watching the Christmas episode of Top of the Pops, Noel was left unconvinced about the pop groups and acts of today.
“The days of Oasis and Blur were the last great assault on the charts by alternative music,” Noel told The Daily Mirror. “Christmas Top of the Pops was dreadful. Every song sounded like it came from the same field of music. There was a rap in there somewhere, everyone sang in a transatlantic soul voice and it was rubbish. The Britpop thing was vastly different. We were all great live bands, and that's gone now.”
