There’s a champagne supernova in the sky, it must be Noel Gallagher’s birthday!?

David asked:

Noel Gallagher, guitarist, singer, songwriter, ’90s Britpop icon, writer of such modern classics as “Champagne Supernova,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Live Forever,” “The Shock of the Lightning,” and “Wonderwall,” turns 42 today!

Noel is one of my musical heroes. I consider him one of the finest musicians of our generation. So many of the songs he’s written are important to me, have helped me through the bad times, etc., etc.

So, Oasis admirers, let’s celebrate a bit, shall we? With a couple questions, of course.

Q1: Favorite song by The Beatles? The Jam? The Stone Roses? The Who? A few of the bands Noel has cited as inspirations.
Q2: Favorite Oasis song?
Q3: If your favorite Oasis song is sung primarily by Liam, what’s your favorite Oasis song sung by Noel?
Q4: Post a live Oasis performance (YouTube) you dig…

Thanks! =)
A1: “A Day in the Life” – The Beatles
“The Butterfly Collector” – The Jam
“Sally Cinnamon” – The Stone Roses
“1921″ – The Who

A2: “Don’t Look Back in Anger”

A3: Noel sings “Don’t Look Back…”

anf9305 asked:

the year I almost got to see them is the year they split up. :(
Typical. I know there’s a lot of controversy over the break-up, and many people are stating that they will get together again as they’ve done this in the past.
I really hope they do sort it out; I fight with my siblings all the time but we always make up after a few hours or so.
But if not, liam is a w*nker, and good on Noel for making a stand.

David asked:

Last three concerts you saw? [Paul McCartney, Steve Miller Band, and Pixies w./ Mew for me.]

Next concert(s) you’re planning to attend? [Arctic Monkeys, The Cribs, Jimmy Fallon, and Editors for me.]

Bonus Q: Which artist/band you’ve not yet seen live do you most want to catch before you die? [Blur for me. Noel Gallagher is a close runner-up, either solo or with a reformed Oasis.]
Sounds as if David Bowie should mount another world tour. ;-) I, too, would love to see him live.
