It seems to be a right of passage nowadays for bands to be insulted by one of the Gallagher brothers from 'Oasis'.
Recently Noel Gallagher added 'Bloc Party' to their ever expanding list by branding them "a band off University Challenge". Perhaps the insult was lost in translation? Nevertheless, frontman Kele Okereke from the aforementioned Bloc Party has come back swinging by saying to Uncut magazine "I think Oasis are the most over-rated and pernicious band of all time...They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of British music. They have made stupidity hip." Sources have since discounted the rumour that Gallagher replied "Permalicious?" (ed: It means to cause insidious harm)
