Liam Gallagher is delighted that the band's 1995 hit Wonderwall was named Triple J's No 1 in its Hottest 100 of the past 20 years on the weekend, but the song's latest success won't help end the feud between the singer and the man who wrote it, his brother Noel.
The Gallagher brothers haven't spoken since before guitarist Noel walked out on the Manchester band in 2009, the culmination of many disputes between the sibling mainstays of the internationally successful group.
Since then Liam and the remaining members of Oasis have continued under the name Beady Eye. They released their second album, BE, last weekend.
Gallagher told The Australian that Wonderwall was a proud moment in Oasis's career.
"It's nice to know the song's still got legs," Gallagher said. "There were some great songs on that list as well."
Wonderwall finished ahead of the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army and Jeff Buckley's Last Goodbye in the Triple J poll, which attracted almost one million voters.

Gallagher said that he was proud of Oasis's achievements, but there was no sign of a reunion with his brother.
"We're nowhere, man," Gallagher said. "We're still not talking. We stopped talking way before we split up, and we're still there. He's your brother and all that, but that's the way things happen. We've had some great times together and some shit times apart, but we split for a reason."
Gallagher said he hopes to bring Beady Eye to Australia for the Big Day Out festival next year.
