Noel Gallagher

Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born May 29, 1967 in Longsight, Manchester) is the lead songwriter and guitarist with the British rock band Oasis. He is the older brother of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and the two are often pigeon-holed as squabbling siblings.

In the 1990s, he was centre stage of the Britpop movement. Oasis' first album, Definitely Maybe, became the fastest selling British debut ever, and the follow-up (What's the Story) Morning Glory? defined its era. His outspoken nature and penchant for controversy did as much to publicise Oasis as his younger brother's drunken attacks on the paparazzi.

Gallagher has received a certain amount of criticism and mockery in the press for his appraisal of his own songwriting abilities. However, he maintains that his self-assurance is justified by the commercial and critical success of Oasis.
