Not Looking Back in Anger

I was not that much of an Oasis fan even at their height, i preferred Pulp out of the small group of Britpop bands at the time but the Oasis songs were okay (Don't Look Back in Anger , The Importance of Being Idle, Wonderwall ) but the brothers were a couple of morons and that doesn't seemed to have changed much in the intervening years and after years of between Liam and Noel Gallagher has ended with the inevitable: Oasis on a Noels 'Pay-A-£20m-Divorce Settlement Tour'.
Usually i try my hardest to separate the total douchebags from their music but i have a real problem with the Gallagher brothers and mainly because i don't think they were good enough for their music to outweigh their big fat stupid gobs.
They were pretty popular at the time amongst the 'lads', with Blur and Pulp aiming towards the more intelligent end of the Britpop market and Oasis going for the beer swilling yobs type which is another reason i'm not overly keen, that sort of behaviour was moronic at the time and now the fans will be middle aged and it is an even worse look but each to their own, i imagine their are bands and music i like they don't so that's fair.
Easy to say then that i won't be spending £75 to go watch them in concert but there does seem to be a  dearth of British bands around now so i can honestly say they are the biggest band in the UK at the moment and good luck to them.
