There's probably a dozen bands on the list I would vote for ahead of AC/DC.

Blasphemy! 
 

Still, there are to many bands in there. If nobody is going to vote for bands like Sum 41, which they won’t, there is no point them being there.

[Pidge]

I will.

[Mook]

I'd happily vote for Sum 41 if they were drawn against U2.

Apple wankers. It's also a bit too big to put in my pocket. Do you think I wear cargoes like Turdseye?

Negged. If you’re gonna come at me you should have the balls to tag me. 
 

Come at me with a knife, you better believe I’ll have a pop back.

Forgot about Gogol fucking Bordello. Didn't I...

 

I brought them up a few pages back.

Unfortunately, Stig prefers Roxette. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Whisper it, but I think Stig's done a decent job here*. There's nobody on the final list that definitely doesn't belong there and none of the other suggested bands (Whale? Crash Test Dummies?) can make a convincing claim for a place.

Er, the Bad Seeds. 

[SasaS]

I think they were lumped with Cave in the solo tournament.

The lists finished you quiff. 

[Pidge]

Disagree with the Saints. A really important early/proto punk band with some great tunes.

 

Always thought of A-ha as a one hit wonder.

Sun Always Shines On TV and Living Daylights were huge as well, sure there's probably more.

You only have to read my review of a Paramore album on the GF Music club to see what I think about Paramore.
