"It was fantastic to watch it growing up and it was great to be on it when it was still going. I don't even know why they don't have it on any more," Gallagher told the Radio Times.
"It was a great British tradition to have Top of the Pops on a Thursday, and it gave you a chance to see what these people looked like who you were listening to on the radio, and we don't get that anymore. I would bring it back in a heartbeat."
Speaking about TV shows he doesn't like, he added: "Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay. I don't cook but that's not the problem: I can't handle Jamie Oliver's worthiness and I can't handle Gordon Ramsay's attitude - if you make a bad omelette, it's like the end of the world. Who gives a f**k?
"I'm from the school of thought that one eats to survive; one cooks to be a smart arse. And I don't like any period drama - Downton Abbey, all that s**te. Men with wigs on."
Gallagher called last year's Top of the Pops Christmas special dreadful and branded the release strategy surrounding singles in today's charts "insane".
