Dear god thats pathetic.

So let me see if i`ve got this right , The sex pistols have the well known & highest charting punk song (God Save The Queen) yet the Clash get the nod instead.And what the hell are the Sranglers doing on there?

No synth pop at all , so no Japan , No Human League , No Soft Cell

No 2 Tone so no Madness or The Specials

The 2 biggest & most influential 80s acts are missing (The Cure & The Smiths)

The Stone Roses who virtually single handedly revived 90s British music are totally ignored.

The whole Britpop movement represented by Oasis? No Pulp , Blur , Suede , The Verve?

Why the **** is David ****ing Grey on there & No Elvis Costello?

The whole of the last 5 songs are just a joke.

Pathetic.
