Noel Gallagher: Radiohead Has Not Musically Progressed Since "Kid A"
He still loves the band, though.
Noel Gallagher recently said that he doesn't feel Radiohead has musically progressed in the 2000s.
Gallagher, who seems to say something controversial on a weekly basis, was talking to Zagreb radio station Plavi when he said that, even though he hated to criticize the band from Oxford, they've been the same for a long time.
"The biggest criticism that the music press have against us [Oasis] is that we're not Radiohead," Gallagher said. "Correct me if I'm wrong, they've been making the same record since 'Kid A,' have they not?"
Gallagher went on to say that he is still a big fan of Radiohead's live shows, but then he insists that they're kind of stuck in a rut musically (albiet a good one).
"I like them," Gallagher said. "Every time I see them live they blow me away, but you know, it's kind of [like] we make very accessible rock and roll music and they constantly make difficult electronic records."
"It's not a conscious thing where we're like, 'Right, we must write something avant-garde here.' If it happens naturally then we'll do it. If it doesn't then we won't. We do like sitting around strumming acoustic guitars."
