Oasis better than the Beatles
Oasis tops Beatles in UK best-album poll
'Definitely Maybe' No. 1, 'Sgt. Pepper' No. 2
Thursday, June 1, 2006; Posted: 10:35 a.m. EDT (14:35 GMT)
LONDON, England (AP) -- "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.

Betty Boothroyd: Question to the Prime Minister, Mr. Michael Shersby.
Michael Shersby: [ seemingly distracted ] How can.. the Prime minister.. support a law.. that makes it illegal for people.. who.. [ gets to the real point he's been fidgeting with ] ..What I'm trying to say is.. Oasis rules!
Betty Boothroyd: [ sternly ] Mr. Shersby!! You've been warned seven times this month to stop bringing up Oasis!
Michael Shersby: But is not Oasis the greatest British band since the Beatles? Can we not vote on this?!
Betty Boothroyd: Enough! Enough!! No votes will be taken on the subject of Oasis!

ahaha.....John Lydon speaks of Morrissey from the book John Lydon-The Sex Pistols,PiL and Anti-Celebrity..by Ben Myers...and I quote Lydon"Its kind of righteous,that Morrissey is so popular in England-that's exactly what you need-another Oscar Wilde to wake you up!""That's how absurd the English have become,where he can talk about a daisy growing in a garden and you all love it!He's a musical joke,vaudeville with a tinge of gay burlesque.Some of his lyrics are very witty but I don't want Britain to become this horrible little Pinewood studios thing.Ealing comedies.Carry on Camping-yeeeeeucch!Thats just closing your eye and ears to the world"

I like Oasis. A lot. And still, I wouldn't exactly call Definitley Maybe the greatest album of all time. They're great at what they do - writing pop songs. I happen to think London Calling is a pretty fine album. I noticed that didn't even manage to crack the Top 10, though. So what do I know?*Annie* wrote:I know I'm replying to ancient posts.... but this pissed me off. Like we need anything else to pump Oasis' big head!
