Posted February 19, 200817 yr Britpop band Oasis made the best two albums of all time - according to fans. The Manchester group's first two LPs, Definitely Maybe and the follow-up (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, finished ahead of established classics by The Beatles, The Clash and The Stone Roses. Two other records by the Gallagher brothers - Don't Believe The Truth and Be Here Now - made the top 25 in a poll by music magazine Q and retailer HMV to find the top 50 British albums. Radiohead's 1997 masterpiece OK Computer was third, followed by The Beatles' Revolver and The Stone Roses' selftitled debut. The rock-dominated chart also features recordings by The Clash, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, The Smiths and Queen. More recent artists to make the cut include Keane, Arctic Monkeys and troubled Amy Winehouse, the only female singer on the list. Q editor Paul Rees said: "It's clear having polled three times more votes than any other act, Oasis are undoubtedly the nation's most loved band. "It's also evident just who music fans believe the classic and most enduring British acts of each era to be. "Meanwhile, the likes of Keane, Arctic Monkeys, Muse and Amy Winehouse have emerged in recent years and are seen as genuinely classic artists to the people who matter most - those who buy music." Rudy Osorio, HMV head of music, added: "Most album polls of recent years have tended to see the likes of The Beatles, Radiohead and The Stone Roses vie for the top five spots but many more of us are recognising the iconic appeal of Oasis and the brilliance of Definitely Maybe as an era-defining album."
