This is basically a heavy metal/hard rock poll. Let's see, no AC/DC, Metallica, Van Halen, Motley Crue, or Megadeth on the list. It's missing a lot of classic stuff and has too much new stuff of which not enough time has passed to tell if they are truly classic. It's about what I would expect from a general poll.

The absence of those bands WAS pretty shocking, until I realised than none of them are British :p

Yeah was surprised it didn't include the Beatles. But happy not to see Oasis. Is the Prodigy really a rock band? Surprised not to see Verve - Urban Hymns. If "fat of the land" was in there, I dont see why "urban hymns" wasnt. I dont get some of the logic in this list (manic street preachers - why are they there?)

Pink Floyd and Deep Purple :thumb:

Ahh, i had missed that, too. I thought it was a British poll. Now it makes sense. Still, Prodigy shouldn't be there.
