You could have said no, if you'd wanted to; you could have just walked away, couldn't you?

Poor Noel Gallagher - it must be terrible for him, having to release a greatest hits album and take delivery of all that cash picked from the pocketbooks of fleeced fans.

Oh, he so didn't want to do it:

"We were kinda forced into it anyway, but we're going to give it our best shot."

But how were they "forced" into it? Why, they'd promised Sony a certain number of albums, and if they didn't release a best of, they'd have had to written some more songs and recorded them. Poor Noel - imagine if you wanted to negotiate a lucrative new contract, and were forced with a stark choice between doing some work, or being given thousands of pounds for not doing any work, albeit through a method you'd previously called "a sellout". What would you do, eh?
