"I'm the better singer but he's got the better voice." - Noel Gallagher
Bollocks. Liam's a better singer and has a much better voice. Noel's a terrible singer. No wonder they used to fall out.

Yikes. Anyone who's followed the Gallaghers know that their falling out over the years had very little to do with Liam (or Noel's) voice. This a classic troll thread.
But as for my opinion:
Liam has an amazing voice, personally one of the most amazing natural voices I have ever heard. Or at least he did, anyway. But pick any random video of Liam singing on YouTube, especially live, and odds are it is not good. He's either shouting, sounds drunken or does that nasally Lennon interpretation of his which I personally can't stand. Ask any professional singer, and they'll tell you Liam has little to no technique in his singing. Liam's voice sounded phenomenal until 2001, and I can honestly say I haven't really enjoyed Liam singing live much after that.
Noel "learned" how to sing in the past decade, and more often than not he knows how to get the most out of his voice and make it sound good. He wasn't a good singer from 1994-2003, then he became a really great singer that peaked from 2004-2010, and coasted for a little while after that. I do dislike the weird "American/cowboy-tinged" vibe he's been singing with the last couple years. I know of no other British singer that sings the way he does.
I would argue that Noel is overall the better singer, but both men rely on a bag of tricks that gets old sometimes.

One of the most overdone topic threads ever on the forum but sure there will be endless posts on it as usual.And they have all been said before and none of it will be much different than the other hundred times  it was posted as a thread so i won't add my two cents yet again for like the 100th time on subject but seriously don congrats I see that was your 1000 post. So well done for that.!! |

I don't have much of problem with the younger Rkid about singing. Liam's voice is always amazing. I remember when I first got into Oasis I didn't know what people were talking about when it came to Liam's voice. I soon came to realize the three different versions of his voice. The Pre Giants era, the Giants era and than the post Giants era voice that he has. I like his Pre Giants era a lot but I guess since I was brought into the Albums almost backward it's why I prefer his newer voice. I mean I listened to Dig Out and Don't Believe and Heathen Chem and also was listening to just their singles for a while before I could get into their catalog. Anway I think his post Giants era vocals are much more commanding and distinguished at least on the records. Live well I chalk it up to the production team. Liam sounded amazing on the Wembley Gig in Manchester in 05' not on the DOYS tour (except for the Standing on the Edge of the Noise gig and the Wembley gig in 08) his vocals live pissed me off) Couldn't someone just turn his mic up? Beady Eye have really triumphed live when it came to this. (never saw them live...=[) On youtube at least his vocals are very good and he seems to be taking care of himself these days all though he does still smoke cigarettes and perhaps might have a friendly snort now and then socially to keep that rockstar image alive. I remember listening to the Oasis songbird live cduk gig if you guys know what it is then you know what I'm speaking of, his vocals on that performance repulsed me to no feasible end when I first was getting into Oasis and now....I fucking love that performance and listen to it regularly in my car.
By the way for that performance do any of you think he sounds similar to old school Axl Rose? I remember some people on the original video bickering about the similarities. (Liam beats Axl though)
Down below is the performance with his voice. What do you think?
When it comes to who is a better singer gotta go with Liam. Noel can sing some songs here and there. i love his voice on Waiting for the Rapture and Where Did It All Go Wrong and on Sad Song (a lot of other songs as well) but doesn't have that snarling accessible rasp that has risen above many other bands like on Lyla, The Shock of the Lightning or Headshrinker.
How many of you are planning on sacrificing a small child to the rock gods above to hear Liam's vocals on Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds's album? ....I am
p.s on a personal note Noel has the most remarkable compassionate voice, he can't make his voice menacing. Liam can do compassion and menacing that's why I do prefer him.

Liam has got a good voice,he had an amazing voice in the 90s
But I love Noel voice now,especially with an acoustic guitar...there are more emotions in his voice

A total bollocks statement indeed.
Noel is the better singer AND has the better voice.
Lets see Liam sound as Godly on a song as Noel on LTLSALOM or as vulnerable as on TDOTL Liam has survived due to studio tricks ever since the SOTSOG sessions ended 13 years ago.

Noel is the better singer in technical terms, that's a fact.
As for who's got the best voice though; that's a matter of taste and depends highly on which song thery're singing.
I couldn't imagineNoel being any good on Four Letter Word for instance.

Whilst I'm here can I just ask why Noel doesn't belt songs out anymore like Morning Glory at Earls Court? That's probably my favourite performance of his voice wise.

I remember the interview Noel said that in, I'm pretty sure that he said it because the interviewer was implying Liam's voice wasn't what it was and Noel could probably sing all the songs better live himself. If anything Noel was protecting Liam a bit I think, in fact I'm surprised no interviewer had the guts to directly have a pop at Liam's live performances. In the studio Liam still has the greatest, unique rock n' roll voice going and when he's not straining can still sound great live, whereas Noel is pretty much bang on all the time, so what he says is technically true.

They're both unique in different ways, you can't always compare everything. I like both their singing voices. If you compare them to people like Robert Plant, then they're both shit so basically what I'm trying to say is why must everything be compared?
They're both different and they complimented each other very well. This unnecessary comparison on everything Gallagher is very juvenile in my honest opinion.
Everything isn't always black and white, IMO One is not better than the other, they're just different.

Liam use to sing really well and he hasn't sounded great on a live recording in ages. Plus he has always had a hard time hitting some tones in oasis songs. However I will say that I have seen Liam sing live four times (97, 20006, 2009, 2011) and I think the best he sounded was in 2011. I am sure this could be to various factors, really small gig, about 1500 people most, first gig of that leg of the tour, etc. second best was 97. 2006 was rather shockingly bad. Still despite this I consider Liam has gone from to less sing wise.
Noel on the other hand has learnt how to sing through the years. At first he just use to scream (i think he even said that). Now he sings really well live. Plus his voice is much more consistent than Liam's. There were tours where Liam was amazing one night and two nights later sounded like absolute wank.
I still think that in a recording studio both sound good, be it down to production or whatever. More to the point, I like both of their voices. Give me Liam or Noel vocals from the 90s, 2000s and now, and I'll take them all any day over all of these fucking kids now a days singing in high pitched squeaky fucking voices or some bellends forcing themselves to sound really deep toned. Both a good singers, and most importantly both have sung some of the best tunes ever. To say either of them is a shit singer is just stupid, especially if your into oasis since both of their voices are a key part of the oasis sound.

Actually, I'm not too keen on Liam's studio vocals on the last two records. I think he sounds too polished and autotuned, I think I prefer his nasally DBTT studio vocals to DGSS and DOYS. I cringe a little bit when I see the monthly "Which HFB songs should Liam have sung on?" as I genuinely think Noel did a better job than Liam would have. The obvious exceptions are the rockers like Four Letter Word which he still nails.

Liam is not as robotic and 'professional' like Noel is.
The state of Liam's voice and temperament made/makes Oasis/Beady Eye bootlegs exciting.
Sometimes you can tell what date of a concert is just by listening to Liam's voice and stage gibberish.
With NGHFB once you heard one bootleg you pretty much heard them all.

Love that version of Songbird!
I don't think Liam's a great singer, but his voice is unique and very listenable. Noel's got more control over his voice but is a little more bland. Still love them both.
