    I'll go for Oasis.

    I loved that album at the time, though I've grown out of them nowadays.

    Radiohead - The Bends for me. Still absolutely love that album, and 'Fake Plastic Trees' still give me goosebumps 13 years on. A true classic. A close second for Mellon Collie. Some dud tracks fair enough, but rage, love, anger and every single emotion you can think of, all captured on a double album. Very hard to choose between Pulp and Chemical Brothers in there too. Oasis? Nowhere near the running.

    I'm an Oasis fan, but I honestly think that (What's The Story) is the second worst album on that list. For me the choice was between Pulp and Teenage Fanclub, with Pulp just edging

    Some great ones in there. Still reckon the Foo Fighters debut is their best. All Dave Grohl's work too. Paradise Lost? That was a great album, cant remember the last time I heard that one.

    It's the Fanclub for me. Still one of my favourite albums. A strong contender for the overall prize in my view. Radiohead and Pulp weren't half bad either.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Sadly it looks like Oasis will be eliminating all three albums from the final rounds

    At least we know that'll be the last of Oasis in this poll. Unless 'Be Here Now' makes the shortlist for 97. Somehow i dont think it will.

    Only open two days and an almost inassailable lead. And far from their best (their first). How manically depressing
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Not for the want of trying. Even after dropping subtle hints, the public failed to listen. So much for democracy.

    I went for Pulp. Not that it matters.
    Other favourites that year include:
    Whipping Boy - Heartworm
    Paul Weller Stanley Road
    Dubstar - Disgraceful
    Tindersticks - Tindersticks II
    Ceci n'est pas une signature

    Despite the fact that in that selection alone there are four albums I'd instinctively vote for ahead of it, I voted for Radioheads the Bends and would encourage other non-Oasis voters to band together and do likewise as it may still be possible to nick it and The Bends has the shortest distance to make up.

    Starting to get a bit like U2 fans who want All Time Top 50 Irish Album polls to include ALL U2s albums.

    Other commendations for 1995 go out to....

    Some Call It Godcore - Half Man Half Biscuit
    Presidents of the United States of America -Presidents of the United States of America
    Raped, Killed and Left for the Buzzards -Rumble

    went for WTSMG.

    Northern Soul by the Verve would be a very very close second. The bends coming in third.

    I'd have put Weller as my #1, best album he's made since his heyday with the Jam.

    I think it is every bit as good as their debut , I am a big Oasis fan and I know I'm in the minority for having that opinion
