'Nobody Has Ever Bettered Definitely Maybe'

Noel Gallagher has branded people who like Oasis' second album the best "squares".The guitarist - who insists he has never bettered his debut album 'Definitely Maybe' - has mocked people who favour the band's worldwide hit LP '(What's The Story Morning Glory?' for not being cool.Noel said: "If you stop the man in the street and ask, 'What's Oasis' best album?' a few might say 'Don't Believe The Truth', which is great, the squares will say 'Morning Glory' and the cool people will say 'Definitely Maybe'."Noel has also praised British band the Artic Monkeys for being the only group that has come close to making a debut album as good as Oasis' 1994 offering.He said: "Nobody has ever bettered 'Definitely Maybe', don't pin it on my shoulders. The Arctic Monkeys came close, but that's it. They've got the tunes and the attitude. If only they could front it out."(C)
