Okay, so as you all may well know, I am a massive fan of Oasis (No, REALLY?!), so as you can imagine I was pretty stoked to hear that the award for the best british album of the last thirty years went to Oasis for What's The Story (Morning Glory) - but that was where my pride and pleasure ended.
What proceeded pissed me off to no end as, with all the style and grace of a one-legged elephant, Liam Gallagher waltzed on stage, thanked the band members (spectacuclarly forgetting to even mntion Noel who wrote the fucking songs on that album!), before proceeding to not only drop the microphone after a pretty piss-poor speech but to then give the award to the audience. Fair play, if this was some nice guy who genuinely felt "Hmmm, well, I enjoyed the music and it WAS written for our fans and inspired by their support - maybe THEY are the true winners" ... but this was Liam Gallagher, and what it meant was "I don't need a fucking award to tell me i'm the fucking best".
Perhaps it would have been better to have Noel rather than his arrogant little brother up collecting the award - after all, were it not for him then the album, nay, the world would no longer have:
- Wonderwall
- Don't Look Back in Anger
- Roll With It
- Morning Glory
- Champagne Supernova
And so much more. Peter Kay said that Liam was a knobhead. I couldn't agree more.
