OASIS star Noel Gallagher has slammed producer Mark Ronson for covering other artists' songs.

He insists he should write his own tracks.

The rocker is riled by Ronson scoring hits with tunes such as Stop Me with singer Daniel Merriweather.

The tune is a reworking of The Smiths' 1987 Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before.

Another example is Valerie, his duet with Amy Winehouse.

That track was a cover of British band The Zutons' song of the same name.

Gallagher, who also dismisses troubled Winehouse as a "destitute horse", said during a recent radio interview: "He (Ronson) wants to write his own tunes instead of everyone else's.

"He needs to learn three chords on the guitar and go and write a tune." - MT/LPR/LR
