Brit Pop's leading light.

49                           NOEL GALLAGHER

Born on 29th May 1967 in Longsight, Manchester, Lancashire, England. A leading light in the mid nineties 'Brit Pop' explosion, who has gained much notoriety for his outspoken comments and battles with other bands, especially Blur during the height of Brit Pop. His younger brother and Oasis lead singer Liam was possibly the only person to overshadow him for bad behaviour in the bands early day's, they've mellowed a little since then, and have carried on hitting the charts regularly. On The Girls Aloud hit 'Life Got Cold' he was given a writing credit because the song sounded so much like his own 'Wonderwall' and to avoid legal action.
