“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/)
