Happy Birthday Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher, who used to be in Oasis, celebrates his 43rd Birthday today, when I found out earlier on, I thought it would be the perfect excuse to listen to all of my Oasis albums. I think I prefer the earlier albums, However I think that all Oasis songs are better than the majority of  modern tunes and really illustrate how rubbish some of the modern stuff  really is.
