Published January 5, 2024

As Manchester City prepares for their upcoming FA Cup match, the club's supporters, Noel Gallagher and Jack Grealish, have contributed their musical taste to the game's excitement. The two celebrities have created playlists with Apple Music, featuring their top song picks, and these selections have been dubbed 'Remote Island Records'. These playlists give fans a glimpse into the personal music preferences of a famous musician and a beloved football player.

Noel Gallagher’s Musical Selections

Noel Gallagher, the renowned former Oasis member and a fervent Manchester City enthusiast, has picked classic hits for his playlist. His musical choices include iconic bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Jam. Gallagher's connection to Manchester City isn't just about his fandom; he has experienced moments of celebration with the club, like when he was serenaded by fans with the Oasis hit 'Don’t Look Back In Anger' after a Champions League victory.

Jack Grealish’s Playlist Picks

Jack Grealish’s playlist is a mix of contemporary artists and nostalgic tracks. The Manchester City footballer chose songs from artists such as Ronan Keating, Robbie Williams, Lewis Capaldi, and included Dido's 'Thank You', citing good memories associated with the song. The FISHER remix of Bob Sinclair's 'World, Hold On' also made it to his list, which reminds him of a memorable summer in Las Vegas.

Grealish's playlist is a reflection of his personal experiences and the music that has shaped those moments. Together, these curated playlists by Gallagher and Grealish add a personal touch to the anticipation surrounding Manchester City's match.

The Cultural Impact of Manchester City’s Success

Manchester City's success on the pitch has often rippled into cultural corners, including music. Last year, after a Champions League victory, Oasis fans appealed for a band reunion between the Gallagher brothers.

A tweet, allegedly from Liam Gallagher, burgeoned hope among fans for an Oasis comeback if Manchester City won the Champions League. Despite clarification that the tweet did not originate from Liam himself, the moment underscored the inherent link between the football club's fortunes and the musical legacy of Oasis.
