Noel Gallagher wanted to stomp out any music in his path in the early '90s, and that meant taking a few jabs at Phil Collins along the way.

Despite his sour opinion of the man behind the Tarzan soundtrack, Noel did stand up for his love for Genesis, explaining: “I don’t mind the [Peter Gabriel-Genesis](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/isolated-vocals-genesis-i-know-what-i-like/). I probably gave a balanced view of Phil Collins that day, but what looks good is the bit about him being the antichrist.

After Oasis’ time in the sun had settled in the 2000s, Noel did seem to have a change of heart. [Definitely Maybe](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/oasis-ode-to-life-definitely-maybe/), he was coming for Collins’ head, mentioning in the documentary Supersonic, “we’re gonna get rid of Phil Collins and Sting — junk food music, McDonald’s music — we’ve got to get in the charts and stamp them out. I like the Beatles and what they’re doing is a nod to that.
