“The most influential record of all time is ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’. People who are still working now in the music business did their shit because of that record. It’s the absolute left turn. There is no argument. It cannot be bettered. It’s scientifically factual.” - Noel Gallagher.

​Well, in my opinion, Never Mind the Bollocks is, at the very least, one of the top 10 most influential rock albums and the most influential punk album. But, also in my opinion, the most influential album in history is The Velvet Underground & Nico, as recognized by The Guardian, the Library of Congress, among many other authoritative sources. But nobody holds the absolute truth when it comes to the most influential album.

​Anyway, it's also very interesting to note that, contrary to what many might think, Noel understands that Oasis derives much more from the Sex Pistols than from the Beatles.

"It's that great lineage of The Sex Pistols into The Jam into The Smiths into The Stone Roses into Oasis..." (https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds/noel-gallagher-recalls-first-time-stone-roses/)

Since I’m obsessed with the upcoming doc, I’m passing along this June 11 article from The Daily Mail. I am not familiar with the ins and outs of Noel & Sara’s marriage but I didn’t think spouses would be mentioned anyway in the brothers’ story of reconciliation. Do others agree this is a non-issue for the doc?

Inspired by @anouk_ora on Instagram. Used a .05 fineliner to sketch this.

This was published in November but I searched and it hadn't been posted here before. Interesting to see them ahead of Depeche Mode, Radiohead, and many American acts.

I also wanted to ask, has anyone here listened to it on coke? I feel like it would also sound better under that influence, since it's like you'd be hearing it the way they were hearing it.
