After weeks of gradually building rumors, it looks like the long-awaited Oasis reunion has finally been announced on Tuesday morning. Liam and Noel Gallagher, the two estranged, famously feuding brothers without whom Oasis would not exist, officially announced the group’s first concerts in 15 years to much fanfare at 8am UK time.

Though it eventually became acrimonious, the brothers' feuds were often as entertaining as the band's music — one classic interview spat was even released as a bootleg single — and there's no question that the friction between the two was part of the band's magic. With smash albums like the band's debut album, "Definitely Maybe" — which, not coincidentally, celebrates the 30th anniversary of its release on Thursday — "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" and hits like "Live Forever," "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" — there's no question that the brothers' work together has something that their solid solo releases just don't.

Oasis broke up 15 years ago, after Noel left the group he founded and wrote most of the songs for. Even if the reunion does happen, it doesn't necessarily mean there's brotherly love: If you believe Britain's Daily Mail, unlike most sensible people, the brothers still haven't "buried the hatchet," according to an anonymous source, but the reported $530 million payout speaks louder than any fraternal resentment.

And if the news is true, there will be more fights to come. But in the meantime, here's our take on the top 10 Gallagher brothers fights.
