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.
