VERSUS
So, British music magazine, the NME, has decided to give Noel Gallagher (former Oasis guru and now 21st century solo Travelling Wilbury) the "God-Like Genius" Award at this year`s NME Awards.
Firstly, awards tend to be given either by people who are locked into a certain frame of mind when it come to giving them out or by hoards of screaming fans who think their vote will make all the difference and then said star will whisk them away on a fantastic, romantic holiday.
Secondly, how pretentious is a "God-Like Genius" Award anyway ?
I like Noel. I think he loves music and has given us plenty of entertainment over the years, either through soundbites or his arguments with his half-man, half-monkey sibling Liam. His debut solo record was surprisingly good, and kind of pissed all over Liam`s "Beady Eye" offering in terms of musicianship. But is he really a God-Like Genius ?

So, does Noel deserve his God-Like Genius Award ? What do you think ? Well, he did write Magic Pie....
