We’re on our way, slowly but surely, to the end of 2025.
Instead of starting to think about this year’s best LPs,
let’s go back to 2024 and listen to TUTV‘s 20 Best Albums
again and look back on what we wrote about each one
of them.
Today: No. 10
Artists: LIAM GALLAGHER and JOHN SQUIRE
Album: Liam Gallagher – John Squire

The Guardian (English newspaper) wrote: “Chippy hauteur meets six-string pyrotechnics.
On this textbook collaboration that’s anything but, the Oasis singer and Stone Roses guitarist rearrange the DNA of their former bands to intriguing effect”
TUTV: This first Mancunian collaboration sounds as if it was made about 30 years ago.
Most tunes could be leftovers from The Stone Roses‘ 2nd and final 1994 LP Second Coming, the one on which Squire played his guitar exactly the way Jimmy Page did in Led Zeppelin for years. And Liam is Liam. Arms together on his back and letting his pipes do the talking. The two heroes just did what they wanted to do, making an album together and having fun doing it.
Before I was aware of it I had played the album about 10 times in 2 days.
Mind you, this is not a masterwork whatsoever, but all 10 tunes are top-entertaining
and stick faster than I can say “The Stone Roses should support Oasis on their reunion tour”?
