Next time someone asks you "Can thousands of people be wrong?" refer to this as you deliver an emphatic "YES!"

The debut album by Oasis, the band that best spread the Britpop craze of the 1990s, has been voted the greatest album of all time in a major music poll published.

"Definitely Maybe," which featured chart-topping hits such as "Live Forever" and "Supersonic," beat "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by the much-loved Beatles into second place in the survey of more than 40,000 music fans.

Regardless of what Noel Gallagher and some survey respondents think, the Beatles probably farted melodies better than any Oasis song. The Beatles carved their mark deep into history, while Oasis' impact is little more than a touch football play scratched into the dirt with a twig.
