ROCK group Oasis has claimed the top two spots in a poll of Britain’s best ever albums Monday, ahead of iconic albums by The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

Oasis’ 1994 album “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory” from 1996 came in at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively, according to a survey by Q music magazine and retailer HMV to find the 50 “Best Ever British Albums.”

Radiohead’s “OK Computer” came in third while The Beatles’ “Revolver” could only finish fourth in the survey of 11,000 people.

Two other albums by Oasis made it into the top 25 — “Don’t Believe the Truth” at 14th and “Be Here Now” at 22nd.

Q editor Paul Rees said: “It’s clear that, having polled three times more votes than any other act, Oasis is undoubtedly the nation’s most loved band.

“In a list that features the likes of Radiohead’s “OK Computer” and The Beatles’ “Revolver” this list is a testament to the popularity of Oasis and their music.”

Rudy Osorio, HMV head of music, added that people were starting to “recognize the iconic appeal of Oasis and the brilliance of “Definitely Maybe” as an era-defining album.”

The full list of 50 British albums was heavily dominated by rock bands, including The Clash, Pink Floyd, Queen and Arctic Monkeys.
