Noel Gallagher has revealed his definitive top ten bands of all time.

The Oasis frontman picked The Beatles and Rolling Stones as his favourite groups, followed by The Who and Sex Pistols.

Writing on the official Oasis blog during their North American tour, he said: "In the dressing room the traditional debate has started about 'The Top 10'.

"This means the Top 10 bands of all time. No solo artists allowed. No female artists allowed. No collectives allowed (Public Enemy etc.).

"This is the 1,000th time we’ve been here with this. It never gets any less interesting for me."

The Kinks rounded out Gallagher's top five, followed by The La's, Pink Floyd and The Bee Gees. The Specials and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac completed the list.
