how about JD at #33 between Robbie Williams and Adam Ant.

Never thought I would be able to mention JD, RW and AA in the same sentence...

Interesting what would have happened if the votes for NO & JD were to be combined...?

Oasis got 3? Wow, boy have some people been fooled. This is a much better list than the last top 100 we saw. Echo only got in the 70's?

Queen at #1 doesn't shock me, I don't agree, but I am not surprised by it. Kind of like Michael Jackson being in the top 5 in the US.

friggy colplay at #10! they are quite wrong, i'd exchange them with the primals at #100, but there are other bands that should be in that list.

Yeah, that's pretty horrible. A band that has only been on the radio for maybe two years by ripping off early Radiohead and stealing their fans, is one place above New Order and a dozen places above Joy Division... Puke.
