Noel Gallagher has presented the official list of top 10 bands of all time, per Oasis. The criteria are strict: No solo artists allowed. No collectives allowed. No female artists allowed.

But wait! If you carried them everywhere Courtney, wouldn’t you have noticed someone ransacking your sacred teddy bear from your own home? That is, unless, you were too blitzed to notice someone stealing your leftover husband from right under your nose. Pun intended ... read more |

Sure, it’s nice to have the inspirations on the payroll for the occasional true-life question, but Courtney Love was a fucking cancerous trainwreck. How’s the director supposed to show this while she sits a few feet off screen? After all, Nancy Spungen didn’t micro-manage Sid And Nancy; though, that may have had more to do with her being dead than a longing for objective storytelling ... read more |
