I'm amazed that Q have managed to publish yet another meaningless poll that DOESNT have Radiohead at number 1.
Thank heavens for small mercies.
Oasis' first album was definitely their best (no "maybe " about it) and regardless of the hype, a fucking terrific record - but considering the great music this country has given the world, this is yet another poll of revisionist crap from a once fine magazine that's really lost the plot about anything pre-1990. Amazing that in the mid 60's we produced the best three bands the world has ever seen (no arguments, please!) and yet the best album ever to come from the UK comes from 1994 and a band who've spent their career basically copying ideas off one of them
Weird also how each of the top ten acts only has one album in the list.
personally, I wouldnt have Beggars Banquet in the top 10 British albums of all time, although it would certainly be there or thereabouts, so #8 isnt bad. But there should be at least a few Stones albums higher, and I agree with Josh about #1.
And I could never take seriously a poll that excludes "Who's Next" or anything by the 'Oo for that matter.
Pile of shite |

The inclusion of a poll must increase a magazine's sales markedly. Why else would they continuously trot them out every-other week?
Maybe this latest one is aimed at slyly sucking up to their reader base by agreeing with their (misguided) opinion that oasis is superior to the others.

Gazza has been submitting excellent posts tonight innie?
This poll is superfluous! Voters must have had their senses blocked out like the Camp Xray prisoners!
Agree with G as that Oasis album kicked a bit of energy into UK music scene at the time. It's OK but ALL other Oasis stuff is shite.
Many of my friends LOVE Oasis and LOVE their shitty albums, maybe people are hanging onto the "Brit Pop" dream  |

I thought this magazine did this a few years ago. Numbers 2,3, and 4 were 1, 2, and 3 the last time. Oasis isn't the greatest band in the world, as they so claim. I think they're good, but not great. If they were, I'd be posting on an Oasis board.
Anyway, the list basically sucks. No Sticky Fingers. No Exile On Main Street. No Let It Fucking Bleed. Sometimes you've gotta say "What the FUCK!?!" |

The poll is a sham. They all are.
HOWEVER, I fucking wish people on this board would get off Oasis back. They're first two albums were fucking brilliant and they really did give Britsh music a kick up the arse.
Mad For It! |

I think Exile is not "British" enough. Thats why its not in. The style of music is more rootsy U.S. A poll in the States wouldnt have Oasis, SMiths, Cure or (gulp) Pet Shop Boys. What a hideous sham! |

The chart get only one album for each artist. Nobody can think that the Pet Shop Boys or Robbie Williams albums are better than the White Album and Abbey Road or Exile and Sticky Fingers.
This is more like: what is the best album from each artist on the list and where do you rank it on the Top 50.

For a British list, I think that list is surprisingly sympathic to the Stones. They "beat" Led Zeppelin, the Who, Queen, the Kinks.. all the classical superbands expect the obvious one from Liverpool...
If we look the chosen albums, they speak volumes.. to say that "Beggars" is better than "Exile", or that "Revolver" than "Sgt. Pepper", or "My Generation" than "Who's Next" just makes the point clear that the chosen albums have the significance if they somehow touch British sensitivity, like apperently "Never Mind the Bullocks", "OK Computer" or "London Calling" (and so on) did.. some kind of social impact and message, reflecting the times, hitting the correct feeling in the air, or something..

From 1994 to 1998, oasis were the greatest band in the world, and Definetely Maybe is the greatest British Album of all time becuase it changed the time and the nation, like the stones and beatles in the 60's but on a larger scale. You have to remember that its the fastest selling debut album of all time. |

Wasn't "Definitely Maybe" their "Stonesy" album? And then the one with "Wonderwall" on it was their Beatlesque one & then the less successful follow-up was their Zeppelin try. I unfortunately have the latter two. |

Its called personal taste, as is still thinking Oasis were top of their game as late as 1998. Personally, I think they peaked by 1994-95.
Fastest selling debut album ever? In Britain, I'd imagine thats possible (I saw them on the day the album went to number 1 actually!) but worldwide I seriously doubt it.
I wouldnt say it changed things as much as the Beatles did in the 60's. It certainly brought guitar driven rock n roll into vogue again in the UK (that sort of music was still selling records but it wasnt "in" at the time) but as it was basically a "retro" stye it was hardly THAT much of a sea change. When you look at what was dominating the pop charts in the era between when the first wave of 50's rock n roll diminished and when the Beatles started becoming cultural icons in early 1963 (ie the period from 1960-62) then theres no comparison in terms of "impact".
the fact is, no event in music now can have the same impact as it did 30 or 40 years ago. Thats not a case of me being an old fart - its just the way the music scene has changed so much, ESPECIALLY in the last 20 years. Now, with so many genres, specialist music and radio stations, specialist charts etc...you can be a superstar to one part of the record buying public and yet be totally unknown to the vast majority of the rest of them despite selling millions of records. I dont consider myself musically ignorant but theres loads of bands out there selling truckloads of albums who I wouldnt know if I saw them on the street or if I heard them on the radio or TV. Simply because I've chosen to 'specialise' my musical tastes to eliminate forms of music I dont care for. Thirty or forty years ago, that wasnt the case as there was hardly any popular music on TV and only one or two radio channels devoted to it - so if the Beatles or the Stones or whoever brought out a new record, no music fan could conceivably avoid it. The cultural impact was therefore much greater as the music industry wasnt so fragmented as it is now.
Actually, now I think about it..I think HearSay's debut album was the fastest selling UK album of all time.....so I guess that captured the "mood" of the time too..to some people!
