Canonical URL: Oasis, 1994, from *Definitely Maybe*. Solo by *Noel Gallagher*. Gallagher's boogie-rock solo borrows its swagger from T. Rex, as the song's riff does. Cigarettes & Alcohol is Oasis in full glam-boogie mode, with a riff that openly borrows the swagger of Get It On by Marc Bolan's band. Noel Gallagher's solo keeps the same attitude: thick, fuzzy, rhythmic and utterly confident. It is short and to the point, built on repeated, stomping phrases rather than any elaborate development. The song's charm lies partly in how shamelessly it wears its influences on its sleeve. Listen for the rhythmic punch of the lead guitar, which works almost like another riff, keeping the song's boogie groove intact rather than drifting off into a separate section.
