Oasis, the megafamous British pop-band comprised of brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, has officially broken up as of Saturday. Lead guitarist and songwriter Noel writes that he, “can’t go on working with Liam another minute.” These two brothers have been at one another’s throats since the success of (What’s The Story) Morning Glory in the mid-90′s.
But, as far as I know, this is their first legitimate split.
As the two independently move into whatever ventures they next choose to pursue, I can’t help reflecting on two things: (1) Just how great an album Morning Glory was, and (2) how good these guys could have been if they would have parked their individual egos and worked together for the collective good. Some say they could have been the next Beatles, and I’m inclined to agree.
Just listen to Wonderwall again. Perhaps the greatest song to come out of the 90′s, it is unquestionably one of the few 90′s songs to still appear on the radio everyday.
Best of luck to you two Manchester boys. If only you could have given us more.
