I think 'Definately Maybe' is a great album and by far the best Oasis produced, but nowhere near the best ever.
It wouldn't even figure in my personal top 100.
If I had a top 20, only Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' would figure in it.
It is a personal taste thing Mikey...but seriously 'Definately Maybe' at number 1...WTF!

I don't see why Definitely maybe couldn't be at number one, if we're going by personal taste that is. It's only because there's a widespred prejudice of anything produced after 1990 topping any all time chart. Why, because no great music has been made ever since? Does an album really have to be at least 30 years old to be deemed the best of all time? Is it because all the leading music journalists are geezers that never got over The beatles breaking up?
That being said, I would put Nirvana's Nevermind on number one, breakthough factor included, and overall influence on music and pop culture, which Definitely maybe, with respect to brit pop, didn't acomplish.
Oh and do I see 4 albums by The beatles in the top 20? *yawn*
