If\u00a0Liam Gallagher<\/a>\u00a0got his wish and could, in fact, \u2018Live Forever\u2019, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if Oasis were infinitely played out of his speakers.<\/p>\n

Gallagher is both the frontman and number one fan of the band, regularly stating their case as the greatest outfit to have ever graced the earth. I could even insert a quote to prove this is the case<\/a>, but Gallagher has been so unrelenting and repetitive in that regard that simply reminding you of a time he said Oasis were \u201cthe best band on the planet\u201d does very little in the way of archiving his thoughts to one moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, should an infinite life present itself to Gallagher, then he would have no qualms with playing the entire Oasis discography back to back, as a means of basking in what he regards as music immortality.<\/p>\n

That being said, in the moments of brief respite, where his bulletproof confidence has fallen away for a rare moment of earnestness, Gallagher has cited the work of iconic British bands as equally worthy of immortal praise. <\/p>\n

His love for The Beatles<\/a> has never been questioned, with the confrontational frontman often recalling the moment he first listened to the band as somewhat of a spiritual awakening for him. John Lennon\u2019s voice became the template upon which he would develop his own vocals, explaining, \u201cJohn Lennon is the man for me \u2013 it\u2019s his voice I got hooked on, then after that I\u2019d listen to the tunes and the words. But even his speaking voice, there\u2019s just something about his voice that does it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while The Beatles represented something of a spiritual inspiration for Gallagher, it was The Stone Roses who showed him how he could express it within his contemporary landscape. And so when a fan asked Gallagher what one album he would play forever, it was their 1989 self-titled debut album<\/a> that he chose. <\/p>\n

It was a record that followed the melodic lead of The Beatles\u2019 discography, but blended it with a more modern sense of groove that spoke directly to the experimental youth of the late 1980s and early 1990s. In that heady crowd of music fans, thirsty for music that would crystallise the meaning of modern life, was a young Gallagher, buoyed by his discovery of The Beatles and quietly harbouring ambitions to follow suit. <\/p>\n

\u201cGod knows what I would have become without this record. It\u2019s not just the soundtrack of my youth, it is my youth,\u201d Gallagher proudly explained. \u201cBeautiful, sun-kissed pop songs with guitars. The Stone Roses came out in the spring, but I still remember the unusually beautiful weather in England at the time. At parties back then, it was always the same, I\u2019d arrive, head straight to the turntable, take off whatever record was playing, and put on The Stone Roses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued to explain how that moment, and that record, acted as the fuel that lit a creative flame within him and toppled the first domino towards forming Oasis, \u201cThe Stone Roses in 1989, I was obsessed with being in a band. When I saw these guys, I thought, \u2018This is as good as we\u2019ve got to be.\u2019 And that was it. That was my epiphany.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
