Oasis’ guitarist Noel Gallagher has praised Coldplay, comparing a song from their new album to the Beatles.
Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Gallagher said his opinion of the band differed greatly from his brother, Liam.
"I listen to ‘Violet Hill’ and it's like The Beatles,” Gallagher said. “I just think Chris Martin is a great songwriter.
"Liam fucking hates them - thinks their stuff sounds like Annie Lennox, but Liam can be a fucking idiot sometimes."
Gallagher also spoke highly of U2, and specfically their frontman Bono in the interview.
"I fucking love U2 and I always have done - I love the size of that band,” he said.
“Whether you like them or not, you cannot deny that U2 have written some great fucking songs. People will not accept that Bono is sincere - in this cynical age, they think he's really just a cunt But he's not."
