so coldplay got number 10, despite the fact i voted with all the email addresses i've ever had. but at least those who beat them are total legends. that makes it a little more bearable. :D

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

No. 10 is a very respectable place... :D

noooooooooooooooo - Rod Stewart! :o :cry: thank god he wasn't in the top ten and that he didn't beat coldplay :-D

but yey for the Coral being placed! :D

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

seems that way :D

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!!! :)

Radiohead only made it to 17th, which surprised me :o

Radiohead only made it to 17th' date=' which surprised me :o[/quote']yeah i would have expected them to be a little higher. :o

how did the manics beat radiohead :-o

yeah, but have you met some of the twisted psychos that listen to virgin radio?

travis below robbie williams? oooooooh dear :roll:

:sad: y r verve, stone roses and stereophonics sooooo far up??? but hey proud of the auld coldplay laddy's ;) :lol: xxxx

yeah' date=' but have you met some of the twisted psychos that listen to virgin radio?[/quote']

 

my dad! :o (when he isn't listening to talksport, ie very rarely) - i think his music taste proves your theory :)

They missed S Club!!! :D :D

Just kidding!

 

I do The Beatles should have been No. 1?? :o :shock: :?

who was it here that totally hates s club juniors? i mean, i know we all do, but he (i think it was a he) had a signature that said it all, gullotine and everything. i was really new here then and don't remember his name...

Wow, I was surprised that Coldplay was in the top 10, that's really, really good. They've only been around for a short time now, and they're competing with Who. And Primal Scream at the 100th place, lol, I like them, but sometimes they're just pure noise.

For a second I thought it was the results of the latest opinion poll on what band/song/album/hotdog/songwriter/dustbin is hot at the moment.

 

But it's an old thread

here are my comments

1. beatles should be 1

2. led zep should be 2

3. pink floyd should be top 10

4. radiohead i'm surprised idn't do so well

5. coldplay is among legends. thats pretty cool
