wow the UK is overly infatuated with Oasis. Over here we know them as the third-rate Beatles parody band that they are.

tony286

Good list, I agree with most of the choices.

badmunchkin

I love a LOT of British rock, Muse, Radiohead, Floyd, Portishead, list goes on forever. Oasis is just shyte. Yuck.

that dude's voice makes me want to strangle small children. I actually never understood the Beatles comparison at all. McCartney & Lennon could actually both SING.

Liam can sing but he just has a rough voice, Noel is a better singer though, mabye it's because you are american and the accent sounds weird to you? Either way, they are musical genious.

Muse are very good by the way, never understood why they are not big in Amerca.

jollyperv

Gimme a fucking break


I didn't even need to read the rest of the list, what a crock of fucking shit

buzzy

Location: Atlanta

I've noticed a pattern, the only people knocking Oasis are Americans....it's cool if you don't agree with the list, i didn't make it but personally i would have Sgt pepper #1, Stone roses #2 and Deffinitely mabye at #3.

jollyperv

Limey, I assure you that hiphop is the worst music in existence if that's what you are insinuating.

AnniKN

As much as the NME has glorified to overwhelming levels some of my favourite bands and it's my source of indie knowledge I do know it should not be taken that seriously ;)

Pulp FTW!

Some (ALOT) of the best bands in history are from somewhere in the UK, it's not what you think. But when a bunch of little cocksuckers think that they can write better songs than the beatles, then all the retards read the interview in spin and feel inclined to believe them because 99.9% of people know fuck-all about music...dude fucking come on.

buzzy

The Beatles are their idols, i doubt they ever said they are better than the Beatles, once they said bigger, but not better and really they were bigger, they broke the beatles record sales.

Have you listened to Deffinitely Mabye from start to finish? Be honest.

jollyperv

No fucking way, shit's too gay for me but I know exactly what it sounds like...have you ever listened to a Chuck Berry record?

jollyperv

According to that list, the spice girls are better than Elvis, Little Richard, The Ramones, Chuck Berry and Iggy Pop. Oh my.

J. Falcon

two Oasis albums in the top 5 is too much for me

Oasis being #1 isn't surprising considering it's a UK list.

What is surprising is Definitely Maybe #1 instead of Morning Glory, which just about every Oasis fan will tell you was their best album.


Oasis never really got their recognition in the US, but for a period in the 90's they were the biggest band in the world.

J. Falcon

IMO Oasis can't hold a candle to other great UK bands like Pink Floyd, The Clash, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, even The Cure is a much better band than Oasis.

yea I missed that - hahaha the spice girls. Brits are weird, some of the best bands in the history of music are British, and yet they include Oasis & the Spice Girls as if their music means ANYTHING. Staying within the confines of British music, Pink Floyd's Dark Side should be #1 (one of the most brilliant albums of all time), Beatles Revolver #2, Led Zeppelin IV #3, Black Sabbath Paranoid #4, Radiohead The Bends #5, Pink Floyd The Wall or Wish You Were Here #6

That's just fucking obvious. The influence those bands had on every band that came after them is enormous. Putting Oasis on that list at all, let alone #1 is a fucking joke.

How a nation that produced Zeppelin, The Who, Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Sabbath even blinks twice at a 3rd rate bands like Oasis or Coldplay is beyond me.

Kevsh

We have a winner.

Just like when American sportscasters show the top plays of the year (or all-time), isn't heavily slanted towards American sports, reviewers rate top movies and so on. There obviously is a bias and if the list was from an American source, you can bet there would be differences.

donkevlar

Ha ha no UK bias in that list at all...

The best music of all time is almost always the soundtrack to the happiest times in one's life. From there, the best band of all time was their favorite band during that period.

I think it's safe to say that this magazine's target demographic is people aged 25-35.

The really modern sounds aren't listed until around #30, yet they will do this list again in 10 years (and have a new readership demographic) and that Arctic Monkeys album at #86 will be moved into the top 10.

donkevlar

Ahh, I see.. this is just a UK reader based survey... no one in their right mind would have the list so damn full of UK shit.

Considering that most of the greatest bands of all time are from UK my list would definitely have almost ALL UK shit at the top, co. But it would still look much different from this one.

I remember this list about 7 or 8 years ago had 3 radiohead albums in the top 5. It's not a bad list though.

I'd like to see

Seal - Seal
Paul Simon - Graceland

Added though, and a couple of others squeezed in.

Great list. I don't agree with Oasis x 2 in the top 5 either. Maybe both in the top 20.

Remove *.U2, *.coldplay.

Coldplay are the most overrated band ever. wishy washy cack.

heymatty

Doggystyle should be in also, even a UK list should have some Snoop in.

Wow a UK list of 100 greatest albums and Elvis Costello gets the snub????????????????????

that alone makes this list worthless

Where the hell is Smashing Pumpkins -- Siamese dream? That album is a masterpiece, and they've got the fucking Kaiser Chiefs on the list.

Foul.

CaptainHowdy

Oasis # 1 ? ... W T F

buzzy

Morning glory was good but it was not the masterpeice that Definitely mabye is, anyone will tell you that.

I don't agree with the list either, it would be absolutley impossible to make a perfect top 100 list but Oasis definitely (no pun intended) do not get enough credit in America. The other guy that was bashing them admitted he didn't even listen to the album lol

Evil Chris

It's obviously a UK list but still a good list.

Just re-arrange it a bit and you have a US list.

Some 40,000 music fans were asked to name their favourite work in a survey by the book of British Hit Singles and Albums 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 list was basically done by the public

Nice list!!

Ah, so that even further explains it.

Many years ago our own MuchMusic asked viewers to name the top videos of all-time. New Kids on the Block were still popular (so yes this was a *few* years ago!) and the result was something like 3 of the top 5 were from them. Credibility of list = zero.

Clearly the majority of voters were, as Matt suggested, in their 20s/early 30s, so there is an obvious bias towards newer bands ... but overall less so than I'd assume - there are plenty of true classics in there, just not as high as expected.

Shagbunny

Great list there dude... those are awesome bands. I love the Brits as well and why wouldn't Pink Floyds Dark Side or Radioheads OK Computer easily top off any Oasis album

jollyperv

Uh, ok...so just because someone doesn't like watered down, overly safe faggot radio pop that makes them a redneck?

jollyperv

Not Oasis.

kelly kola

Great list!! I agree with over half!!! Good job! ;)

Blazed

UK music is shit i can admit that and im from the uk, cant say ive ever listened to a full beatles song its trash, same goes for the who, u2, zeppelin and all that other shit it all sounds the same. One or two oasis songs are ok i could listen to wonderwall without a problem. Dance/Drum & Bass beats all those shitty bands. But even kayne west, lil wayne etc are better than the beatles.

some shockers here for sure. Oasis? how can they be #1?? even if you really like them they are not getting the #1 slot please. The Beatles have to have that and the White Album should be higher. Radiohead could be higher as well. Everything that bad puts out is amazing

if that list was made in any part of the world it wouldn't be massively different. the uk has and continues to produce some of the biggest and best bands from the 60's to present day, in most genres with the exception of country, rap etc.
