Just wondering what you guys would love to see on a Noel Gallagher solo album. Paul Weller style? Burt Bacharach influenced maybe (this would awesome)? Psychedelic maybe?
Personally, would love the kitchen sink thrown at it and I hope it's a beautiful melodic mature album with strings and choirs. I think it would definitely suit Noel's style. TCT gigs a great example.
Oh, and it would be great if we get to hear If I Had A Gun.

All that seems great, but I hope there's a few good rocking tunes on it as well. And I would love to hear some psychedelic, progressive rock elements, although I'm rather expecting that from Liam's band...

I may be in the minority but I am more 'interested' in what Liam's band will do than Noel solo.
Noel's may be better but I'm more intrigued w/ what Liam will come up with.
I have a pretty good idea of what Noel will sound like solo.

I have a pretty good idea of what Noel will sound like solo. i completely agree. We know what to expect from noel - a good solid solo album, probably a few singalong melodies. but in reality we have no idea what liams band will be like. They have been going under noels instructions for over a decade. With liam captaining the ship it will be quite insteresting to say the least.

Part of me wants regular Oasis' Noel ballads. But then again, if he releases typical Oasis songs, I'd be even more angry he split.
Regardless, whatever Noel releases will be amazing. He's a talented song writer and a great singer.
LAG on the other hand has something to prove.....

I'd really love to hear more Bacharach style music. Idlers Dream was terrific but This Guys In Love With You is still one of my favourite Oasis covers. Noels voice is just perfect for that song.

well the first thing Noel did was get the choir and orchastra for the tct concert, so that may give us a clue, heres hoping because that would sound epic
he could get Weller and maybe one or two more special guests on the album also

Liams has something to prove and his determination will pay off, i think a lot of people will be surprised at how good Liams album will be.
We can pretty much guarantee that Noel's is going to be special. i'm expecting strings, possible use of choir and maybe a few guest appearances. its definitely something i've been looking forward to for a long time.

I completely agree with the Android here I have been looking forward to holding that Noel solo CD and there probably will be potential Oasis tunes on there, that's cause Noel wrote 95% of them!! I would like to hear the odd dance/experimental loops & beats on there too. Liam though TBH I am worried, I expect it to be basic yet proper Rock N' Roll, nothing too different. Production will be key to the LAG record.

Dance music. No guitars on any song, just loads of drum samples from old school hip-hop records and loops and layer upon layer of synth sounds. Oh with Noel singing over the top of it all of course.

I would like to hear more tracks that sound like the alt version of Waiting For The Rapture. I don't mind Noel not doing a whole lotta rock stuff, mainly because Noel's voice doesnt work with much rock stuff anyways. I'd love to hear a mix of really stripped down songs and songs with layers. Basically I want Noel to do on his solo stuff, what he never did with Oasis. And thats mix genres. Oasis were never out there to prove anything, but I think Noel needs to prove something. I think Noel is at the point of his career where its make or break time. Does he want to go down as one of the best songwriters of all time? or does he want to go down as a guy who had a small window of success? So I think Noel is going to need to do some sort of experimenting and some sort of mixing genres. That's what I want to hear.

A continuation of both the original Falling Down and the AA remix of it.

No matter what they do, surely they will miss playing to sold out stadiums/open air gigs across the world?

I think its fairly obvious it will be an acoustic, TCT strings and orchestra type album with the odd Waiting for the Rapture/Mucky Fingers thrown in between.
I just hope he gets the balance right. Noel's vocals on the right song can be the difference between a good song and a great song, but on the wrong type of song it just doesn't fit at all. I can see him either throwing his eggs in one big acoustic-shaped basket and it being ridiculously samey, or him trying to recreate Oasis without Liam's snarl and presence, and ultamately failing.
This will be less of a problem for Liam. He can release an album full of Ain't Got Nothings, and although they'd be inferior to Noel's songs, it'd probably be less of a drag to listen to than an album of slow acoustics.

With the LAG album I don't expecting that much, but with Noel is a 9/10 album at least.

I want Noel to give us some rock'n'roll.
I would much rather have him put out stuff like the album version of Waiting for the Rapture rather than the Alt. version.

I almost feel sorry for Noel. It seems like Liam has it much easier. I mean almost no one expects anything from Liam. As long Liam doesn't come out with complete crap then it will be seen as a success. Where as it seems as if Noel is in a tougher spot. Because Noel wrote all the hits for Oasis it almost seems as if everyone expects his album to be near perfection. There's also a part of me that feels that if Noel comes out with this totally amazing album then some fans may become mad at him. Because then it will look like he was holding out on the band and people will start to ask why didnt he just do this with Oasis. Then again if Noel's album isn't amazing then it will be a big let down and fans will wonder why he quit the band in the first place. In my opinion if I was Noel I would be wishing that I was in Liam's place. Because to tell you the truth is seems as if Noel is in a no win situation while Liam is basically playing with house money.

Some stuff like 'Teotihuacan' would be amazing, but it's very unlikely.

what i want from him is something different. i liked where he was going with sotsog, and it was a damned shame he just went back to lazy songwriting.

Beady Eye, fucking terrible.

I've got moderately high expectations for this album. Whatever comes out I will buy it and probably like it. I don't think that I have ever truly hated a NG sung song. Some of them weren't brilliant but in general I like the tone of Noels voice.
I think I agree spaneli. Noel is in a tough position. Liam has to make something decent to impress people...Noel has to make something brilliant to get the same reaction.
What I am hoping for, but am afraid that Noel will chicken out of, is some emotional depth. That is the one thing that I missed on all the Oasis albums. You have to go to the B-sides for stuff like that. Idlers Dream, Talk Tonight, Angel Child. B-sides like those give me shivers. What I personally want from Noel's is music like that.
I don't want a rock record. And I doubt that Noel will try and go the rock-route anyways. He has always understood that Liam was a rock star and he himself was a songwriting musician. He isn't Paul Weller...he isn't a frontman. Liam was a frontman.
I think the record release won't be set for another probably year and a half though.
