Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon has come top in a new poll of the 100 best albums of all time.
Oasis’ (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? was second and Definitely Maybe is at number twenty.
'(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' has sold over 14 million copies worldwide, 4.2 of which are in the UK alone.
The number one album marked the band's first UK number one single with 'Some Might Say' and featured live favourites such as 'Roll With It' and 'Champagne Supernova'.
It also contains the singles 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.
'Wonderwall', released in 1995, was the band's 8th single in the space of 18 punch-drunk months that saw the band rise from noisy Manchester lads to the most talked about band in the world.
'Definitely Maybe' was released on 30th August 1994 on Creation Records and debuted at number 1 in the album charts. On release it became the UK's fastest-selling debut album and featured classics such as 'Rock 'n' Roll Star', 'Live Forever', 'Supersonic', 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' and 'Slide Away', all of which became live favourites throughout the band's career.

Watch Manchester fan Noel Gallagher interview Italian striker Mario Balotelli to find out the truth behind one of the Premier League's most enigmatic stars.
Please note that the second part of Noel's interview with Mario Balotelli was not broadcast as previously reported on Football Focus, it included an interview with Noel on his own.
As soon as I find footage of the interview I will post it.

Yes comrades . . . where were we? Milwaukee? Yes, Milwaukee!!! Not much going on there let me tell you . . . . There was a statue of the Fonz across the road from the gig, That's just about the most exciting thing I can remember. Some of the lads on my crew spent the day posing for photo's with him . . . it . . . whatever. You know what I mean. Looking at some of the pictures later it was hard to tell who was the actual Fonz!! But why is there a statue of the Fonz in Milwaukee you ask . . . well . . . the series "Happy Days" was set in Milwaukee, see?
Played in a beauty of a theatre. Great show, great crowd. Think I've started to notice a few people following the tour now . . . like what they do back home . . . which is nice. Thanks.
So . . . Indianapolis? Spent the day watching Top Gear on BBC America . . . I fucking love Top Gear.
I don't know why, the gig was more like a town meeting in a village hall. I enjoyed it though. I don't know why someone shouted out REALLY FUCKING LOUDLY during Supersonic, "WHERE'S BONEHEAD?" I mean . . . what does that even mean?
Which brings me to yesterday . . . a day off in Atlanta, Georgia. The home of CNN and Coca-Cola. Had a mooch round a couple of shopping malls. Just killing time. Nice weather, lovely people.
Looking forward to this gig tonight. I recognised the theatre. Not sure what it's called but I remember it being the scene of one of the best ever Oasis gigs. Not sure what era. That Swedish band The Soundtrack Of Our Lives were playing with us and we were both on fire that night!!! We fucking crushed it big time.
Out of here early doors tomorrow. Flying to Mexico!!

Yes . . . well . . . Detroit then? A lively bunch. Great show. Nearly up to speed now. Close to 100%. Ben our newest member was getting the shout out from the crowd. Funny.
Overnighted it to Chicago. No drama. It is fucking cold though. It's always freezing here.
The gig itself here in the windy city was maybe the best so far. My voice is not at it's best though. My cold is playing havoc with it. A bit frustrating but what can you do?
Had a day off here yesterday. Bought myself a new guitar!! Hadn't bought one in a couple of years. A beauty it is too. A blonde Gibson 345 . . . 1972 . . . quite rare.
Not much else going on at the moment. Driving to Milwaukee today. Got a show there tonight.

Yes..well now then the gig in DC was OK. We ain't played for a couple of weeks so it always takes 3 or 4 gigs to get back into the groove so to speak. Our usual keyboard player (can't remember his name now) has stayed back home to help his wife have a kid, so his roadie has valiantly stepped into the breach to cover for him . . . . A bit of pain in the arse but we shall soldier on as best we can. Got a bit of a cold and all . . . with all that in mind the gig wasn't too bad. It was a good laugh anyway. Great crowd.
Bussed it overnight to the cultural centre of the middle of fucking nowhere, Columbus, Ohio. There is quite literally NOTHING going on here. Nothing to see. nothing to do. Had a gig here last night. Still not quite at full power but it was another fun night. Great crowd. They was chanting the stand-in keyboard players name by the end of the night . . . very funny (his name's Ben by the way).
Got a dirty little hangover today. Not nice, feel like a little lump of shit in fact but get on this . . . of all the people in all the world, have a guess who checked in to this hotel this morning? Go on have a guess . . . you'll never guess.................... only blimmin' Kasabian!!! What are the odds on that? Unbelievable!
Before I let you go I must tell you this story that has literally JUST happened to me. So . . . I'm just stood at some traffic lights waiting to cross the street when some guy slopes up to me . . .
"Hey man I don't mean to disrespect you”, (now that usually means you're about to be disrespected) “but you do realize you got a little 80's thing going on with your hair there?"
I was speechless.
"What do you call that style you got?"
I was without speech.
"You look like that . . . who was that muh-fucker pro-doocer who shot that bitch in the face?"
