Noel's iTunes 'Favourites'
Noel has put together a list of his 'Favourites spanning music, books, films and TV shows for iTunes
Exclusively here on his website he explains the reasons for choosing the albums on his list.
Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols - The Sex Pistols.
"Probably the single most important important album of all time.
Why? Because it re-ignited youth culture...a youth culture murdered by hippies.
If it didn't exist you'd HAVE to invent it!"
The Wall - Pink Floyd.
"The scope, the vision, the story, the iconic guitar playing - not to mention the songs!
I know every single word of it...staggering."
The Joshua Tree - U2.
"There's not a lot you can say about it really.
"Where The Streets Have No Name"? "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"?
"With Or Without You"? "Running To Stand Still"?
If you haven't got a copy you're a knob… The end"
Revolver - The Beatles.
"The '90's would never have happened without this album."
We Are The Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks.
"Probably the most underappreciated album of all time. Ray Davies was the unsung hero of
the '60's...Storytelling of THE MOST HIGHEST ORDER."
Her Satanic Majesties Request - The Rolling Stones.
"Everyone thinks it's shit...The Rolling Stones think it's shit!!
(Although there is a track on it which is basically just some fucker snoring...which IS shit...)
I fucking LOVE it!!"
