Wow, Oasis Takes Top Honors?
Friday, June 02, 2006
Oasis's debut, Definitely Maybe, has edged out the Beatles
to be named the Greatest Album of All Time.
Votes came in from around the world in the poll of more than 40,000 fans that celebrates 50 years of the Official UK Albums Chart.
Nonetheless, it has a distinctly British feel, with the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band coming second and their Revolver third, followed by Radiohead with OK Computer and another (yes, another) Oasis album in fifth, (What's the Story) Morning Glory.
Whoever said jimming off another band wouldn't make you more popular?
Only two US bands got into the top 20 - Nirvana at number six and The Strokes' Is This It came 20th.
The full Top 20 is as follows:
1. 'Definitely Maybe' - Oasis
2. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's 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
11. 'The Joshua Tree' - U2
12. 'London Calling' - The Clash
13. 'The Beatles (The White Album)' - The Beatles
14. 'Abbey Road' - The Beatles
15. 'Up The Bracket' - The Libertines
16. 'Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols' - Sex Pistols
17. 'Four Symbols (Led Zeppelin IV)' - Led Zeppelin
18. 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars' - DavidBowie
19. 'A Night At The Opera' - Queen
20. 'Is This It' - The Strokes

I thought it was a terribly predictable list, the NME readers have no idea or taste. I like Oasis, their first two albums are excellent but better then the Beatles? Led Zepp? the Doors? Velvet Underground? No way, oasis rip all these bands off and admit it. Wait another decade and the list will be very different, for worse probably.
