    I already figured out what the top three would be, although I'm not sure I agree with the order they're in.

    Coldplay at #10? Dido at #59? What the living smurf? Why are they even in the damned thing at all?

    And the likes of Robbie Williams, Adam and the Ants and T-Rex above Black Sabbath and the Sex Pistols? Pfft.

    Yes. I didn't really read through the list, and I love Queen, but I don't think THEY'D even deserve number 1. Well, maybe. The Cure should be in the top 10.

    I'm dissapointed by the lack of Gorillaz and the inclusion of some crappy artists.
    Word/s.
