As I can see, this topic was deleted, perhaps while server is changing thru.

Well, I apologise those ones who have voted yet. After 5 posts (including mine), this is the top five: 1- New Order (50 pts), 2- Joy Division (25), 3- The Smiths (16), 4- The Clash (14) and 5- Stone Roses (13). I have voted for: 1- NO, 2- JD, 3- Fatboy Slim, 4- A Certain Ratio, 5- Happy Mondays, 6- Ramones, 7- Chemical Brothers, 8- Siouxsie, 9- Stone Roses and 10- Altern 8. Also have been voted: The Cure, Talking Heads, EATB, The Delgados, Massive Attack, Mercury Rev, Lloyd Cole and other 16 bands/artists.

Would you like to vote? Please, follow these conditions:

place NO, JD and side projects each one in separated.
please, fill each place in of ten bands/solo artists, despiting the "gap size" your consider between them.
you may indicate one band's phase you like the most, but give this band just one place.
all these conditions are about to make total goes easier, 'cos the 1st place shall receive 10 pts, 2nd get 9, until 10th get 1.

Thank you all I hope it doesn't get deleted again!

wouldn't call it an error, I would call it good taste. Someone doesn't have NO as their fav. band, call the NO THOUGHT POLICE!
