Counting Crows singer Adam Duritz was speaking to BBC entertainment reporter Mark Savage.
You're coming over to headline the Wireless Festival in UK this year - are you excited?
Oh yeah, that's cool. Headlining in Hyde Park? That's pretty cool.
We made our career in Europe by playing festivals, so I have a lot of love and reverence for those shows.
What's your favourite festival memory?
In the 1990s, we spent a whole summer where our end of the day ritual was to meet the guys from Gomez at the side of the stage and smoke cigarettes and drink cans of beer and watch Oasis.
Noel Gallagher is a genius. Those songs are great, and they're loud and they're fun. That's a really good way to spend the end of the day.

The number of other artists who have publicly stated that Noel is a genius is very high. Someone should make a list. Off the top of my head I can name Chris Martin, Lars Ulrich, Alex Turner, Fran Healy, Rob Zombie, Chris Doherty, Marilyn Manson, Billy Corgan, Richard Ashcroft, Bono, etc. I don't think any other contemporary artist even comes close.

jimmy barnes (aussies will know who this is) is a huge fan. For some reason, that is really great news for me I don't mind some of the stuff Jimmy did with Cold Chisel but to find out he loves Oasis just topped it off

The Counting Crows are a great band. My friend and I are dreaming of them opening up for Oasis along with the Stereophonics or Collective Soul. I always knew they thought highly of Oasis because they've covered them many times live (Live Forever, Champagne Supernove, and Supersonic to name a few).
Also, Brandon Flowers, Dave Grohl, and Fran Healy are all big fans of Noel from what I know.

David Grohl seems to love them... www.nme.com/news/foo-fighters/21810Flowers was inspired to start a guitar band b/c of Oasis. Its awesome that Oasis have this respect from a lot of these bands that are actucally important not just some indie shit band.
