Everyone's being a bit harsh on Stig. 

Nah. We all had to be nice to him when we relied on him for the match threads. The season's over now, so we can bastard him in the cunt.

I get it, but been great at doing their thing for like 30 years after coming out of the anarcho scene into the genuine mainstream (without resorting to gimmicks like Chumbawumba).  Been running a great old-style festival since 2003 to great success.

Not knocking them at all. Quite respect Chumbawamba, now you mention them too. Disagreed with their major label move at the time. And think it's a shame they're now regarded as one pop hit wonders. They paid their dues and actually stood for things that were by no means popular at the time. They were also much more musically creative than they're given credit for...

I'll run it till midnight. 

[YorkshireRed]

Front runners here should both make the list. Especially a list that contains fucking Muse.

 

It’s going to be like week five of Strictly Come Dancing, every year, where one of the competitions best dancers ends up going out because of the idiocy of the voting public and the flawed structure of the competition.

I think Muse have sold more records than both bands combined. I might be wrong. But cant we all be? Muse are staying.

Doves and Gomez are boss but probably wouldn't do too well

[3 Stacks]

Wouldn't participate as I know virtually nothing about most of these bands, but Dire Straits would be one of the best ever if Mark Knopfler could sing. Still my favourite band of that era.
