So Q wants me to believe that the two greatest songs of ALL TIME (or through 2006) are both Oasis songs? I love Oasis but WOW.

[Henrik]

This looks very reader-ish, but I can't find any proof of that. So it seems eligible.

[JR]

I believe it was a readers' list (as much was reported in forums and whatnot).

[JimmyJazz]

oops, my mistake, it is a reader list. Problem is that Rocklist site doesn't mention that it is a reader list, which it does for most lists that are such. Sorry about this...

[irreduciblekoan]

I'm so relieved that it was a readers' list. Because while I think even critics praise Oasis a little too much, only the public would be fool enough to call "Wonderwall" the second greatest song ever.

Yeah, I mean Q critics had the good sense of ranking it third best ever in Britain
