Blur & Radiohead!
Score = 0
Hey, look on the bright side; no sight of The Arctic Monkeys.
Score = 0
Why is Oasis on this list? Oh well at lest they didn't put up Coldplay. Or Madonna....
The Cure should have ranked higher.
What Oasis is to The Beatles, is what Coldplay is to U2.
Score = 0
There is a serious lack of Blur going on here.

Now that Graham Coxon is returning to Blur maybe they'll regret this list. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2006600477,00.html

My above comment should read, "My fried egg makes me sick first thing in the morning." So much for commenting in a sleep-deprived state.
Score = 0
The Clash, I mean, how the fuck could you forget The Clash. Same goes for The Who and Radiohead.
Score = 0
Take That is a horrible boyband that spawned Robbie Williams and they don't even deserve to touch this list with a bloody stick.

Score = 0
i agree with ed. beatles, all the way!
Score = 0
the beatles were a great band but they wernt the best band ever as these people think,i am glad to see the british public have voted the best band to win in QUEEN as there lyrics,songs,live performances showmanship and pure entertainment was better than the beatles and better than any other band,i think the beatles were voted better a few years back when the american public didnt really get them- but they do now! and have helped them to be the best band in the world and most definatly the uk.
Score = 0
No Pink Floyd?????????????????????
Score = 0
No Pink Floyd?????? Dark side of the moon? wish you were here??? The wall????
Score = 0
beatles should have won offcourse
Score = 0
The fact that the Beatles didn't tour for most of their career doesn't make them any less of a band in my eyes. They lead a generation and created more masterpeices than any band could ever dream of. Ironically, Queen is my second favourite band after the Beatles..and although I agree that Queen was incredibly entertaining as far as live performance goes..the pure magic of the Beatles is unbeatable.
Score = 0
Queen are the best band,dont even argue with that.
Score = 0
Where are The Clash and The Who????????????
Score = 0
This result must have been arranged for political correctness.
Do not forget that the Beatles disturbed/scared the establishment like no-one will ever do.
After 45 years, John and the golden Beatles remain unbeatable.
