Glastonbury 2008's notorious critic Noel Gallagher has paid compliment to this year's line-up.
The 42-year-old of course infamously caused one of the music talking points of last summer when he said it was “wrong” to have Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury, provoking a response from the rapper during his performance at the festival.
Casting his eye over this year's headliners, the Oasis man says he “likes” Bruce Springsteen, “loves” Neil Young and even had some moderately kind words for Blur.
He told BBC6music: "I like Bruce. I don't know, do I like Bruce? I don't own any of his records. I like Crosby, Stills and Nash. I love Neil Young, he's playing isn't he somewhere and I love The Specials - I've just been to see The Specials."
As for former arch foes Blur, he added: "Blur are playing. That will be exciting for Blur fans. Particularly if you're a Blur fan that's come along since the how ever many years it is they've not been doing nothin', and you've almost waited a lifetime to see them - it will be quite exciting I would have thought."
