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.

It starts with a splash…
Noel is six years older than Liam, now 51, so it’s hard to pinpoint a date when their Manchester home was first plagued by their feuding — although given that the brothers had to share a bedroom (and eldest brother Paul got his own), it probably started early. Liam, however, has his own take on the lasting impact of a later incident: In director Mat Whitecross’s 2016 documentary “Supersonic,” he gleefully recalls: “I came in drunk one night and couldn’t find the light switch, so I peed all over his new stereo. I think that’s basically what it came down to.”

“Wibbling Rivalry,” 1994

Oasis had barely released their first single when the brothers’ feud nearly surpassed their music in popularity. The pair’s screaming battle during an NME interview in early 1994 became so legendary that it was released as a 14-minute single the following year (“Wibbling Rivalry” released under the name “Oas*s”).

The root of the argument? Which brother is more rock ‘n’ roll? The discussion quickly devolves into Liam calling Noel a “dick” and a “fucking priest” and being called a “slut” and a “dick”. Along with more “fuck-offs” it gets even more colorful when Liam tells Noel to “Stick your thousand quid up your fucking ass until it comes out your fucking big toe” and growls, “You think getting thrown off a ferry is rock ‘n’ roll. And it ain’t… If you’re proud of getting thrown off a ferry… why don’t you just leave my band and become a football hooligan, okay?”

Tambourine Fight, Los Angeles, 1994
Following the release of “Definitely Maybe” in August, the band played Los Angeles’ legendary Whisky a Go-Go during their first full U.S. tour the following month. There, Liam took a swipe at Noel in song — changing the lyrics of “Live Forever” to “Maybe, I don’t really want to know, why you pick your nose”) before hitting his brother over the head with a tambourine, mocking the crowd and walking offstage before the end of the set. Noel left the band the next day, but rejoined shortly after.

Cricket bat row, Wales, 1995
During a 1995 session for the band’s classic sophomore album, “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”, the brothers went ballistic after Liam brought a group of strangers he’d just met at a local pub to watch Noel try to record. After the inevitable altercation ensued, Noel bashed Liam over the head with a cricket bat that happened to be sitting in the studio. “The whole studio was blown to pieces, everything was blown to pieces,” Liam recalled. “I probably didn’t give a shit and he was fucking trying to write ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ and I was like, ‘Bollocks, let’s have it.’” The end result of this battle royale? They sold the bat with a certificate of authenticity.

Brother disconnected
Shortly after Oasis played the biggest shows of their career — before 250,000 fans at England’s Knebworth Park in August 1996 — the band were scheduled to tape an episode of “MTV Unplugged” at London’s Royal Festival Hall. However, Liam pulled out due to a suspected case of laryngitis, leaving Noel to continue singing duties. Liam did, however, appear on the balcony of the Royal Festival Hall, smoking, drinking and heartily jeering his brother, with little evidence of a sore throat. And when Liam attempted to jump onstage for a re-take of several songs, Noel told him to “fuck off.”

Priorities…
During a 2002 interview, when told by the NME about an incident in which Liam was involved in a fight with police and had several teeth knocked out of his mouth, Noel could only sympathise with his reaction: “The only thing I’m worried about is him still being able to sing.”

Control of the mind
During a 2005 interview with TURNNoel Gallagher says of his brother Liam that their whole relationship is a bit like the brainwashing session in “The Manchurian Candidate.” “He’s literally terrified of me,” Noel said. “I can read him and I can fucking play him like a slightly unused arcade game. I can make him make decisions that he thinks are his, but in reality they’re mine.”

Fork in the road
Apparently saving the best for last, the year before the band’s apparent final split in 2009 featured some of the funniest comments. Responding to a previously published interview, Noel told Britain’s Herald Sun: “I don’t know who the guy is who’s in these interviews — he seems really cool, because the guy I’ve been in a band with for the last 18 years is a fucking idiot.” Shortly afterwards, Noel outdid himself in Q magazine by calling Liam “the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”
Ten years later, Liam responded to Neil on Twitter with a video of himself eating soup with a fork. After all, a grudge is only a grudge if you can cherish it forever.
