The programme trailer features Hand In Glove which gives out one of Noel's choices.
From Uncleskinny:
I may have got one or two of these words wrong, but the essence is there...
Kirsty: "Do you get on with Morrissey?"
Noel: "He's brilliant. The last time I was out with him in L.A, my jaw was sore from laughing. Mainly because he was bullying Russell Brand. Anyway, this is Hand In Glove, the best song ever written."
From HangtheDJ16:
Noel Gallagher was on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs this morning and chose 'Hand in Glove' by The Smiths as one of his 8 songs and calls it 'one of the greatest songs ever written'. Talked a bit again about meeting Moz and Russell Brand.
Great selection of tunes overall by Gallagher, the entire episode is well worth a listen. Includes Sex Pistols, Bowie, Beatles, U2; the kind of stuff you'd expect.
