Surprising: Alex James of Blur Loves 'Wonderwall'

Not surprising: British journalists still really, really want the Blur vs. Oasis feud to carry on.

Alex said, of "Wonderwall," "The first time I heard it, I thought it was a really great song. I wish I'd written it to be honest. Liam Gallagher has got a great voice, and I think that's their finest moment."

However, People got him talking about the famous kick-off to Blur's feud with Oasis -- "Country House" beating "Roll With It" to the number one slot on the UK charts. He said, "I can't deny it, sitting in the car and hearing that we'd won the battle, I felt very smug. I couldn't stop smirking for weeks afterwards and there was a lot of satisfaction in knowing how upset Oasis were about it."

Dear world: you do realize this happened last decade, right?

P.S. "Country House" really was the better song.
