Definitely…Maybe NOT!
Filed under: Anglophilia
Holy Champagne Supernova!
Oasis have trumped The Beatles in a new UK album poll by Q magazine.
The 11,000 people surveyed ranked Oasis' Definitely Maybe numero uno and (What's the Story) Morning Glory number two.
The Beatles' Revolver came in at… #4?
Should we let these poll results be?
It's just a tad ironic that Oasis has cited The Beatles as one of their may-jah musical influences.
So if it wasn't for The Beatles….
But, is Oasis really better???
They've been shite lately!

Any band is better than the fucking Beatles. Especially the Stones.
wow
please, the beatles are icons. It is just a poll, doesn't necessarily represent.
please, the beatles are icons. It is just a poll, doesn't necessarily represent.
no, YOU've been shite lately, Perez!
hate that guy!
oasis is my favorite band of all time!!!
but, i think the beatles are a better band, of course. it's the beatles!
however, just b/c they ranked a certain CD over another doesn't mean they think the band is better, right? just the CD.
if the poll was "what's the best british band?" - i'm certain the beatles would take the top spot, with oasis somewhere in the top 5.
4?
1?
OMG, I love Oasis, but better then the beatles…. please
1st woo hooo…or maybe not….oh well….
Beatles ROCK
Oasis don't got shit on the Beatles.
The Beatles revolutionized pop music as we know it.
Oasis had 2 or 3 good songs, fought on stage a little bit, and went back into hiding.
Granted Champagne Supernova is an amazing song.. but better than the Beatles' 'Revolver'? One of the best albums of all time?
Give me a break.
Their last album was pretty good! Not as good as their old work I think but I really liked it, great songs! We shouldn't compare though, The Beatles and Oasis are way too different!
He is a handsome man. We all love him. There are so many fans of him. You can even check out his photos, videos and blogs at "milliona irefriends com". I am now reading his blogs there. He's popular there.
The Brits are stupid.
the beatles are icons. it's just a small percentage of people that were surveyed.
FIRST
MARIAHS CAREY FIRST SINGLE , TOUCH MY BODY , DEBUT AT N 57 IN THE BILBOARD HOT 100 , WITHOUT BEEING REALEASED OFFICIALY . MAAARIAH RULES
that people in the UK are a bunch of tards!
who caresssssssss
get better newssssssssssssss
this shit is boring.
Oasis have always been influenced by the Beatles…they're both completely kick-ass bands, but the beatles are more timeless i'd say. It doesn't matter what age you are, everyone loves the beatles. Without them we'd be no where.
HELL NO they're not better! They're good yes, but not better. The Beatles are LEGENDS and that will always trump anything else.
Polls aren't always reliable anyways. Especially one of only 11,000 people. Looks like they didn't poll anyone over 16!!!!
The poll probably wasn't random in picking the people who participated. I wouldn't trust it!
motherfucker
SSSSOOOOO AND?????
oasis have copied the beatles from day one. literal actual plagiarisms. that is bullshit.
who?
It's voted for by readers of Q magazine; they voted Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME.
shite! uve been influenced quite a lot by the brits lately perez! hehe
the beatles are the single best and most influential band ever. of all time. it is not opinion. it is fact.
I really don't get the obsession Europeans have with Oasis. They're not that great.
first in my life, I hope
no one is better than the Beatles…..No One.
what? they havent been fucking shit!!! oasis are an amazin band and of course the beatles as well. wtf? oasis are great.
OASIS RULES!!!!!
FIRSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
wow
OASIS!!!! OASIS!!!! OASIS!!!!! OASIS!!!!! OASIS!!!!!!!!!
They're not better just more now.
Can't stand The Beatles or Oasis, Who votes on these polls?
Oasis maybe famous in England, but here in the States they are known as drunkard hasbeens who we still can't understand.
BANANA FLAVORED FANTA IS OBVIOUSLY A MORON… SORRY THAT IS HARSH, BUT LENNON/MCARTNEY ARE SOME OF THE BEST COMPOSERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY.
BUT
OASIS IS DEFINITELY NOT BETTER THAN THE BEATLES…
COMPARE ANY STUPID OASIS SONG TO ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, OR TAXMAN, OR A DAY IN THE LIFE, OR HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN…
PUHLEASE!!!
BAR ME, OASIS IS THE BEST THING THE UK HAVE EVA PRODUCED!!!!!!!
That's what he gets for fooling around with women half his age and then marrying them without a pre-nup. Now he's after more young women - Paul the Pedophile has been tarnished.
Hey Perez…you have no right to comment on music. You like shitty bands like that shit-fest Fall Out Boy, etc. Your taste in music like your taste for cock is disgusting.
Shut-up Fatty and post what you know about.
Perez, oh Perez…You've caught the Anglophile bug. You are not British. You don't know shite about British music. Get over it. Stick to being the lazy American that you are. You're good at it!
Perez, stop trying to sound British by staying words like "shite".
I suspect most of the voters were born after the Beatles already broke up. Oasis are just shit on a treadmill….
perez, this survey came out years ago. find some new stuff to report
Please… Oasis is decent band and all, but nothing will compare to the Beatles. That's like saying that Nickelback is better than Led Zeppelin. Gag me.
P.S I'm English and i don't like either
no band is better than the beatles….period.
Oasis is a hell of a lot better then roaches, err I mean dung beatles.
RINGO'S SON PLAYS THE DRUMS FOR THEM, PEOPLE!
perez, i highly doubt you've even listened to the last couple of oasis albums….
don't preach if you don't have a clue!
Oasis is obviously not better than The Beatles, but they're back on a good phase lately. They're not shite, their last album is my favourite Oasis album, but people just didn't paid much attention to it.
Oasis has blatantly copied the Beatles from the beginning… the melodies, the glasses, the haircuts… The Beatles turned out multiple albums a year, sometimes creating/recording a song in one day. And those songs are now classics! The Beatles recorded for 8 years and left a WORLD WIDE impact… Oasis has been recording for 17 and although they have had success, in that time, they have not come close to being as inlfuential. Revolver had Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine, Got to Get You into My Life, etc. C'mon, Please bitches!
Oh, please, The Beatles are so much better than those whiny twats Oasis anyday.
The Stones are marvelous, too. But even they were influenced by the Beatles in their heyday.
I love the Brits, but they are way off on this one.
um.. hardly. Just because Oasis is more trendy *now*, doesn't mean their music is better. I'd like to see this poll done in 20 years and see which one comes out on top. There's a reason the Beatles have remained popular after all these years.
It's a bloody outrage is what it is.
The Beatles kick ANY bands ass ANY day of the week.
… The poll was obviously rigged.
Listen-Oasis hasn't put out a decent song in 10 years, but the cold facts are that these poles are being answered by a much younger generation. The Beatles are kings, but it's the kids voting, not the parents(who, if they were worth their salt, would have taught their babies where ALL of today's bands get their flavor!) BEATLES FOREVER!
Re: Gia – … no just the people who took that pole. Screw off before you attack us brits.
Not only are the people who voted idiots but for Sergent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is far an away the greatest rock album ever made.
Oasis produced two of the best albums ever made. However, that's all they had in 'em was those first two madly brilliant albums. Everything they did after that has sucked.
As for the whiny bitch who accused then of outright plaigarism from the Beatles, show us a side by side example of what exactly Oasis ripped off from the Beatles. I seriously want to know. Influenced, yes, no doubt. But directly ripping off the Beatles? Um, no,but I'm willing to hear the alleged rip-off.
I was in London when "Wonderwall" Every cafe, shop, restaurant that song was playing. I was in a cyber cafe that played it several times in row. Americans don't understand the impact this band had in their own country.
Thats brendon urie when he gets older
I highly, highly doubt that Paul McCartney cares about how "Revolver" ranked in some poll, and thusly no Beatles fan should care, either.
Don't forget this is the same country polled that thought that Winston Churchill was made up, or fantasy- like a cartoon character.
Incredible.
OK, Oasis had a couple of hits, which hardly receive airplay at all anymore. The Beatles are still being played nearly 40 years since the breakup. You do the math.
While everyone's entitled to their own taste in music, saying The Beatles suck, etc, is just lame. The Beatles music will continue to stand the test of time-while Oasis…
Britain has always had questionable taste where polls and popular music are concerned. Give it no credence. The land of bad smiles missed badly on this one.
The Beatles are the greatest band ever. End of story.
OASIS is amazing. they totally deserve it…..
favorite band EVAH.
Oasis hasn't changed the world. They never will. And, they aren't or will never compare to the Beatles.
Ha ha, I love that you're starting to talk like one of us Brits – "shite" is a brilliant word and you should champion its use in the US of A. LOL! xox
haha shite? i see perez is pickin up some of our english words now eh
OASIS is amazing. they totally deserve it….
favorite band ever.
they own everyone when it comes to music.
along with the stones, the strokes, blur, and the arctic monkeys.
The Beatles have no comparation, they're the best band eeeeeeeeever
Rubber Soul is forever
Oasis….is a bunch of tools….who got famous ripping off the Beatles and getting into bitch fights with eachother.
I wonder if they will be able to make it out their door for interviews now that this has hit. Their heads were big enough already.
I can't wait for more bitch slapping brother scenes!!
Re: Banana flavored Fanta – Rubber Soul is forever, and the Rolling Stones have made exactly TWO good albums: Beggar's Banquet; Some Girls.
Oasis FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow screw oasis.. there hot steamy pieces of poo. the beatles are LEGENDS.
