Here are the Top 7 Noel and Liam Gallagher Quotes of the Year 2017 in Lists
Published: December 13, 2017
"Has-beens shouldn't present awards to gonna-bes," Oasis's Noel Gallagher once famously said after accepting an award from INXS's Michael Hutchence at the 1996 BRITs.
Ironically, the Britpop band wouldn't take home a win at the annual awards ceremony for another decade, but they've offered up a treasure trove of similarly arrogant and antagonistic one-liners on a consistent basis ever since.
This year happened to be the best year yet for fans of their vulgar vitriol, due to both Noel and baby brother Liam deciding to release solo albums a month and a half apart from one other (the equally mediocre Who Built the Moon? and As You Were).
Whether it's all part of a master plan to keep their names in the press and drive up the asking price of a future reunion, or the Gallagher Bros. really do hate each other (and every other artist in the world, for that matter), one thing's for sure: in this garbage fire of a year, we couldn't keep our eyes off of these two trash talkers.

3. "It's almost like she's snipping away at the last ribbons of Liam's sanity." — Noel on why he hired a scissors player for his Later… with Jools Holland performance
