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!

      there is no way - NO WAY that Oasis is better than the Beatles. I'm not sure there are any bands better than the Beatles - only LedZepplin could even come close.

      I love me some Brits, but they are off their nuts if they think Oasis is better than The Beatles in any way, shape, or form. Oasis is pretty much a Beatles rip off band, and you are right, if there had been no Beatles, there would never have been an Oasis. So those idiotas who voted for Oasis are really saying two things: 1. We appreciate the effect The Beatles have had on music history and can see that same influence has helped Oasis in ways they never could help themselves, and 2) we are too bloody stupid to vote for the real thing.

      How stupid is that? Most people don't even remember who Oasis is, and they were hot during the 1990s. Most people old enough to remember the Beatles during their heyday obviously are not sitting around all day online to vote.

It is like watching some fat worthless PEACENICK talk about ravi-shankar peace and fucking LOVe after they VOTED for George Bush! I can't wait for this old shitty one-fucking-NOTE prune to KICK the FUCKING BUCKET!!!! 2 DOWN– 2 to GO!!!! SCREW THE BEATLES– AND FUCK ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT THEY 60's MATTERED ONE FUCKING BIT. ALL THAT DID was spread a bunch of STD's and teach the EVIL GOVERNMENT overlords (what were they called?

      OK The Beatles came before and Oasis, and Oasis wouldn't be without The Beatles, but Oasis are THE BEST BAND EVER! It doesn't matter what they have done of late, which is actually backup to a pretty good standard, but without Def Maybe and WTSMG newer bands wouldn't be who they are today.

      It is just a poll but the fact that Oasis haven't been top for a few years means this public opinion isnt a trend and Oasis has stood the test of time.

      you all should not even be allowed to get music in your country cause its a complet waste on all of u! definitely maybe is the best album of ANY genre since the 70's, back when REAL music used to exist

      Oasis is listened to by nothing but a bunch of nobhead, chavs [ghetto losers] in England, very different from what I remember the fan base to be in America [mostly stoners] - and they totally rip off the Beatles.
      AND look at Liam's kid's name…Lennon. Come on - come up with your own identity, get a haircut and a new attitude, and long live the fab 4!!!

      135

      It shows that Oasis is a big influence on people and new bands.
      Beatles are "history" and the new generation might feel more connected to Oasis.
      Anyways, to those who say that Oasis sound like the Beatles, it's obvious you've listened to none of those bands!
      Oasis are influenced by the Beatles but then which pop or rock artist is not?!
      So it's a pretty stupid thing to say.

      For people who want to talk about Oasis and learn exclusive news, check www.live4ever, the N°1 fansite and have a look at the forum!
      You'll never look back!

      Americans hate Oasis because they never kissed US ass, never played the corporate game, and never sold out their souls. Oasis admit they are not better than the Beatles, but Def Maybe, and What's The Story are two great albums from the last 50 years. Americans are defending The Beatles like the Beatles were American also, the British have just said that to a whole new generation Oasis are the most important band for them. Move on.

      147

      what everyone is failing to grasp is that they ranked albums. can you make a case that definitely maybe is better than any beatles record, absolutely. it is the opinion of many the general public and music journalist that it is the greatest debut album of all time. second, the beatles are not the greatest band ever. that honor would go to the kinks. who are a far superior band. if you listen back to say sgt peppers or rubber soul they sound very dated. while if you put on the kinks are the village green preservation society it sounds as fresh as ever. it is a testament to quality that should accounted for.

      I think Oasis has a couple of songs that are AMAZING, and the rest of their stuff isn't bad at all!!! :) I actually love the band. But the Beatles??? They have too many incredible songs to count!!! I might like Champagne Supernova better than pretty much any song ever… But I can ALWAYS find a Beatles song to rock down with. OOHH and Hey Jude trumps all.

      What do you know about Oasis or Oasis lately? You'd get your teeth kicked in if you turned up at one of their gigs. Maybe by someone other than myself, even-even. Anyways, twatybollocks, of course Oasis was influenced by the Beatles — who wasn't? Lets not forget that even John Lennon had influences, and that all the great Brit bands like the Beatles and Stones all drew from *American* rock, surprising as that is to most. But still, Oasis is the greatest band to walk earth now or ever, and if its easy to just try and be the Beatles, how come noone else can do it? Americans can't comprehend the enormity of Oasis, as they've no point of reference for the size and influence. Madonna and Fall Out Boy ain't it.

      Probably the poll was taken for under-sixteens.
      And Oasis are only known in the UK. Most people from my country say, "What's Oasis???"
      They don't have a FRIGGING CLUE.
      AND Beatle Ringo Starr's son DRUMS for Oasis. It's definitely a Beatle thing.

      people who are claiming Oasis just rip off the beatles. Clearly havent sat down and heard all their albums! To claim that Oasis sound like them is the lazeist musical analysis for crying out loud.

      Oasis are a great band and have done so much for british guitar music… They are the most important band for decades. They deserve credit not silly jealous comments.

      anyway people! keep checking Oasisinet.com for news on Oasis's new album which they are currently working on In L.A!
