This was difficult. 2006 was the year I stopped paying attention to the 2000s and moved my focus to the 60s through 90s. Makes year end lists problematic.

THANK YOU GOD.

Noel Gallagher has revealed that Oasis are already thinking about their next album.

Despite reports that the band had no plans following the release of their best of 'Stop The Clocks' on November 20, the guitarist has told NME.COM that he is not only thinking about the follow-up to 2005's 'Don't Believe The Truth', it's their priority.

"We've got so much left over from the last album, at least another two or three albums worth of material," Gallagher explained. "Our next new record is more important than this one, but this (the best of) had to happen now."

If Oasis really had broken up, I might have killed myself. Thank you, NME, for being a giant dose of ROCK and happiness.

I don't think any of you care, but you can read the rest of the article here.
