Rewatching DVD “Live Forever” 2003. Director: John Dower

One word: Excellent.

Recap: Deconstructs the rise, fall, rise of britpop in the 90s, and its symbiotic relationship with Britain’s pop culture & youth, and its influence on England’s national politics (eg,Thatcherism, New Labour, ‘Cool Britannica’). Special focus on Oasis-Blur catfight for #1 spot, including the mass media’s influence. Great interviews & great DVD extras too (won’t even bother describing, just watch this puppy).

PS: Noel’s arrogance in interviews will have you die laughing or staring blankly in disbelief. To give you an idea …(fyi: you’ll notice lead singer Noel’s not big on his brother/guitarist Liam) http://thinkexist.com/quotes/noel_gallagher/
