The Beatles will always be number one in my heart. British Vote Oasis Album Best of All Jun 1, 9:28 AM EST The Associated Press LONDON -- "Definitely Maybe," the debut album by Oasis, has beaten the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in a British vote for the greatest album of all time, organizers said Thursday. The Beatles also took third place with "Revolver" and had three other albums in the Top 100 in the vote staged by British Hit Singles & Albums, an annual publication, and NME.com. The vote was announced in last year's edition of British Hit Singles & Albums, said editor David Roberts. Anyone could vote for as many as 10 albums, in rank order, and probably 95 percent of the 40,000 votes came from Britain, he said. The biggest surprise, in Roberts' view, was The Libertines' debut album, "Up the Bracket," at No. 15 — a strong showing he attributed to singer Pete Doherty's well-publicized involvement with supermodel Kate Moss and his arrests for alleged drug use. Other albums on the list include U2's "The Joshua Tree" (No. 11), Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (No. 35), the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street," (No. 42), The White Stripes' "Elephant" (No. 59), Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" (No. 84) and the Eagles' "Hotel California" (No. 100). The top 10: 1. "Definitely Maybe," Oasis. 2. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," The Beatles. 3. "Revolver," The Beatles. 4. "OK Computer," Radiohead. 5. "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" Oasis. 6. "Nevermind," Nirvana. 7. "The Stone Roses," The Stone Roses. 8. "Dark Side of the Moon," Pink Floyd. 9. "The Queen Is Dead," The Smiths. 10. "The Bends," Radiohead.
always with the beatles comparisons. why's everybody always comparing the two bands when they sound so little alike? oasis is a great band...hell they beat out the beatles in a public vote! I like the beatles much more tho.
i don't give a damn what a poll says, the beatles are 100 times better than fuckin oasis, thats a low blow to say there better than those psychedelic brits
the beatles undoubtedly were greater - but the poll has to be taken into consideration - lemme explain. is it really any suprise oasis won? the people entering the poll, in a magazine i believe, are likely to be teenagers and young adults - who lived through the brit-pop era and were part of it, whereas they weren't even born when the beatles were around. and because we associate it with our generation, our music... well i suppose then it aint no suprise.
you shouldn't care what a poll says. I think the beatles are 100 times better too, perhaps even 103 all the poll says is more people like oasis these days in the uk. big surprise...and nothing wrong with that
Actually, if you polled every single person in the UK, I'm pretty sure the Beatles would win by a huge margin.
I think that is true, i think the beatles are better, they are legend, they change our way to think and the way music was. beatles are the best!
Oasis was one of the best bands of the 90s...The Beatles were the best band of all time. Noel Gallagher fucking rules.
