Surprised that the Beatles did not come number one, they seem to in every other 'greatest' poll, but that's a not bad list

Katharina · 03-01-2003, 02:59 PM

No. 10 is a very respectable place...

dave's girl · 03-01-2003, 06:08 PM

noooooooooooooooo - Rod Stewart!

thank god he wasn't in the top ten and that he didn't beat coldplay :-D
but yey for the Coral being placed!

bethany · 03-01-2003, 06:49 PM

so it's amixture of smiles and boos all round then?

dave's girl · 03-01-2003, 08:06 PM

seems that way

amsterdam · 03-01-2003, 09:08 PM

That's actually VERY impressive being that Coldplay have only been around for so little time.

I was stoked that Doves made it to the list! WAAA-HOOO!!!

busybeeburns · 03-01-2003, 09:30 PM

Radiohead only made it to 17th, which surprised me
